Heading into the game, the Pokes were actually underdogs, despite opening as three point favorites early last week.

#OKState is now a 1-point underdog today. Began the week favored by 3.

Gametime

The Cowboy defense was wreaking havoc the entire game, but especially in the first half. Most notably, Brailford lived in the backfield. He had 3 sacks in the first half.

Only two players have had more than three sacks in a single game in #OKState history. Jordan Brailford has three at half.

Gary Lewis (4 vs. Colorado, 10/16/82)
Andrel Waddle (3.5 vs. Louisiana, 11/14/98)

Jordan Brailford. Again. He's having an Ogbah-like impact on this game.

Early on revealed cause for concern for the Cowboy offense, but Cornelius settled in and ended up with quite the performance against Boise. His grit running the ball really allowed him to settle in and make some plays.

#okstate In one quarter, Taylor Cornelius morphed from an Alex Cate lookalike to a Collin Klein clone.

Boise did dare him to throw the ball, but he did so at the right times. Taking care of the football is a huge reason why the Pokes got such a convincing W today.

If I’m Boise, I (continue to) dare OSU to throw deep every play. Cornelius hasn’t shown he can consistently complete passes downfield.

Justice really put the team on his back in the final few drives to seal the deal in the 4th. This stiff arm was… nasty.

This was really funny to me.

Excellent win is right.

Excellent, excellent win for #okstate. Boise is a good team and they beat them up in all three phases. Gundy continues to prove he's one of the best coaches in the country.

Gundy off to another hot start in 2018.
