Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy admitted his team was “outcoached” early and couldn’t overcome penalties or missed chances in Friday night’s 19-12 loss to Tulsa, the Cowboys’ first road defeat to the Golden Hurricane since 1998.

Gundy pointed directly to execution on key downs as a deciding factor.
“We were five of 19, and they were 10 of 22,” Gundy said. “That was a big part of the game.”
The Cowboys moved the ball well on their opening drive, but penalties and stalled possessions mounted. Gundy admitted OSU is “not far enough along” as an offense to recover from setbacks.
“When we get in those situations, we’re not able to overcome penalties very well,” he said.
