Oklahoma State turned a tight game into a rout, beating Colorado 57-24 after scoring 37 unanswered points in the second half. Coach Deion Sanders said the Cowboys repeatedly tested Colorado’s cornerbacks and praised OSU’s coaching, stadium and homecoming crowd.

By the Numbers
  • Oklahoma State won, 57-24.

  • The 57 points and Colorado’s yards allowed were the most in a game under Sanders.
Yes, But

Colorado had kept recent games against Texas Tech and Utah close, but struggled to match Oklahoma State after halftime. Sanders said the Buffaloes were especially unsuccessful when the Cowboys targeted their corners.

Bottom Line

Oklahoma State’s second-half surge exposed a defensive vulnerability and sealed a lopsided win in front of a homecoming crowd Sanders called a great atmosphere.
