STILLWATER — The energy was sucked out of Boone Pickens Stadium when Cincinnati ’s Matthew McDoom returned an interception the length of the field with six minutes left in the game.
But for an Oklahoma State team that hasn’t won since the last weekend of August, the feeling was welcomed.
Cincinnati took control in the fourth quarter, finishing off a 49-17 win over the Cowboys on Saturday night, but thanks to a wild crowd, Rodney Fields Jr.’s career day and an all-around inspired Cowboy performance, the day didn’t feel like a total loss.
