Oklahoma State Cowboys at Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Alan Bowman's 5 TD passes lead No. 13 Oklahoma St. past Tulsa, 45-10

Bowman, in his seventh year of eligibility, completed 24 of 31 passes for 396 yards and one interception before sitting out the fourth quarter. He previously threw five TD passes in a game for Texas Tech against Texas in 2020 and Houston in 2018.

De'Zhaun Stribling caught seven passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns — including one covering 63 yards — to help the Cowboys (3-0) win their 10 straight against the Golden Hurricane.

While Tulsa's defense struggled against the pass, it limited Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II. Last season's Doak Walker Award winner as the nation's best running back gained 41 yards on 17 carries.

Oklahoma State led 28-0 at the half on the strength of Bowman TD passes to Brennan Presley, Stribling, Talyn Shettron and Josh Ford.

The Takeaway Tulsa: Last week, the Golden Hurricane blew a first-half lead and lost to Arkansas State. This time, Tulsa was overmatched and never really found its rhythm.

Oklahoma State: A quick start proved the Cowboys, who trailed at halftime vs. Arkansas, weren't looking past Tulsa. The Cowboys again put up points, despite limited production from Gordon.

Up next Oklahoma State: Hosts Utah on Saturday.

Tulsa: Visits Louisiana Tech on Saturday.
