Oklahoma State Cowboys’ Spencer Sanders Marks Texas Longhorns’ First Test Against Mobile Big QBs

How does one stop Spencer Sanders? It’s a question Steve Sarkisian will have to answer Saturday if Texas hopes to win in Stillwater.

Sanders, the dual-threat passer for Oklahoma State, has had his fair share of fun against Texas over the years. In 2020, he threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-34 overtime loss. A year later, Sanders bullied his way through the Longhorns’ defense, totaling 198 yards and scoring two touchdowns to complete the 32-24 comeback.

One player does not define the status of a team. Sanders might be the anomaly to the rule after his four-year run as the No. 11 Cowboys (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) starters. And while his status remains in question entering Saturday’s homecoming matchup, Sarkisian and the No. 20 Longhorns (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) are preparing for him to suit up one more time at Boone Pickens Stadium.
