Cougars Lose a Close One in Stillwater

STILLWATER, OK - It was a rainy afternoon for opening weekend in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma State Cowboys hosted our very own WSU Cougars. It was a sloppy game, to say the least. Neither team's offense ever really got going. One play did shine for the Cougars, as the second play from scrimmage Jared Karstetter came on an end around. He would take it all the way, 82 yards for the first score of the game.
The Cowboys would answer later in the first with a 6 yard rushing TD. Later on, in the third quarter, WSU leading 10-7, a key mistake by QB Jeff Tuel fumbling the ball gave OKST an easy pick up and run for a TD to give them the lead. However, the OKST kicker misses the extra point, to add to all the drama, keeping the game within field goal range for the Cougars. There seemed to be no end to the unexpected turns this game took.
We pick it up midway through the 4th, Cougars line up for a 50 yard field goal, hoping to tie it up in this defensive battle. The wind was no help, and the kick fell just short, WSU kicker Grasu was extremely disappointed as he went to the sidelines.
The Cougars were given another chance with under 2 minutes to go, after intercepting a poorly thrown ball by OKST's QB. It looked promising as WSU was given another chance to either tie or win the game. Boos came from the stands as the OKST QB, Weeden, headed over to the sideline. The very next play, however, Tuel made the same mistake, throwing a pick and thus ending a chance for any chance of a minor upset.
The Cowboys escaped with a 13-10 win.
INJURY REPORT
Star WSU receiver, Jared Karstetter, suffered a broken vertebrae early in the second quarter, and will be out for the entire season.
