Oklahoma State: After committing five turnovers (three interceptions, two lost fumbles) in the Cowboys' previous game, a 45-35 loss to Texas Tech on Oct. 5, Sanders turned the ball over three times, including two costly fumbles in the fourth quarter. With eight minutes remaining and Oklahoma State trailing 31-27, Sanders dropped back to pass and had to scramble a bit when Baylor's Chidi Ogbennaya punched the ball loose and Terrel Bernard scooped it up and ran 20 yards for a touchdown that put the Bears up 38-27. Then, trailing 45-27 with 3:25 left, Sanders lost the ball after he was hit by Baylor's Jordan Williams, who then recovered the loose ball to seal the game.
