Tulsa defeats Oklahoma State in debut for coach Eric Morris

Oklahoma State lost 24-10 to Tulsa on Saturday in the debut of head coach Eric Morris and quarterback Drew Mestemaker. The game marked the first season opener for the Cowboys since 2004 without Mike Gundy as head coach. Tulsa held a lead from the second quarter onward, securing consecutive victories over Oklahoma State for the first time since 1951-1952. Mestemaker completed 29 of 49 passes for 241 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, while adding a lost fumble. This loss follows a period where the Cowboys combined for four wins over the previous two seasons. Morris and his team now face a difficult schedule ahead, beginning with a home game against No. 2 Oregon next weekend.
