Oklahoma State Cowboys Overwhelmed by Colorado Buffaloes' Offensive Onslaught

In a challenging encounter at Folsom Field, the Oklahoma State Cowboys faced a tough defeat against the Colorado Buffaloes, ending the game with a score of 0-52. The loss brings the Cowboys' season record to 3-9, while the Buffaloes improve to an impressive 9-3.

Game Highlights

The game was dominated by the home team from start to finish, with the Buffaloes putting up 21 points in the first quarter alone and continuing their scoring spree throughout. The Oklahoma State defense struggled to contain Colorado's offense, which managed to rack up a total of 52 points by game end. Despite their efforts, including six sacks and eight tackles for loss led by Kendal Daniels who contributed two sacks and two tackles for loss himself, it wasn't enough to stem the tide.

On special teams, Hudson Kaak and Wes Pahl shared punting duties for Oklahoma State, managing an average of over 40 yards per punt between them. However, this was overshadowed by Colorado's relentless scoring.

Player Performances

Offensively, Oklahoma State found little room to maneuver against a stout Colorado defense. Quarterback Maealiuaki Smith completed only 37 percent of his passes for a total of 70 yards and suffered two interceptions without finding the end zone. Backup QB Alan Bowman also saw some action but could only add seven yards through air.

The running game offered some resistance with Trent Howland leading in rushing yards at 57 on nine attempts - averaging over six yards per carry - but ultimately failed to reach pay dirt or significantly impact the scoreboard.

Receiving efforts were led by Brennan Presley who caught eight passes for a total of 42 yards but like his teammates was unable to find crucial breakthroughs when needed most.

Looking Ahead

As fans look towards future matchups after this tough outing in Boulder, they can hope that lessons learned against such formidable opposition will translate into improved performances in upcoming games. For now though, focus shifts towards recovery and preparation as Oklahoma State looks forward towards redemption on their next gridiron battle.
