The freshman Rashada was 8-for-13 for 106 yards and a score.

Alan Bowman connected on passes of 20-, 18- and 16-yards in the first half himself, as the Cowboys gave the ASU defense a run for its money.

The senior Bowman, part of the vaunted three-quarterback attack of OSU, threw for 113 yards on 11-for-16.

Quarterback number two, specifically No. 12, for OK State, Gunnar Gundy, saw time in the second quarter. He orchestrated a scoring drive that led to a field goal brought the game to 15-10 at the half.

The southpaw slinger was 3-for-4 for 28 yards. He is Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy’s son.
