Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris plans to address multiple offensive deficiencies following a 24-10 loss to Tulsa at H.A. Chapman Stadium. The team failed to convert on four fourth-and-1 opportunities, struggled with protection on the edge, and dealt with inconsistent quarterback play from Drew Mestemaker. Morris identified a need for better offensive line execution and discipline to prevent penalties like the unnecessary roughness call that extended a Tulsa scoring drive. The Cowboys now prepare to host No. 2 Oregon on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Boone Pickens Stadium. Despite the opening loss, quarterback Drew Mestemaker noted the team intends to move forward quickly to focus on the upcoming non-conference challenge.
