Rough start ends Cowboys’ chance at upset
The last thing the Oklahoma State football team could afford to do - on the road against the No. 2 team in the nation - was fall behind by more than a touchdown. And for awhile, it looked as though the eighth-ranked Cowboys would actually be the ones making Texas Tech play from behind. That advantage lasted all of 21/2 minutes and died in the first quarter, and from there OSU’s worst fears came to fruition.
