STILLWATER, Oklahoma — It was as ugly as advertised.
But as efficient as Oklahoma State could have hoped against a clearly inferior team.
As expected, the No. 19 Cowboys throttled Savannah State 84-0 in their season opener Saturday, setting modern-day school records for points scored in a game and largest margin of victory.
“At times, I saw our (defensive) guys running across the field fast,” coach Mike Gundy said. “I hope that holds true throughout the season. We were able to function on offense at a quick pace (with) the new quarterback (Wes Lunt), so I was pleased with that early in the game.”
What matters, though, is how those scores piled on.

The Cowboys (1-0) put together 10 touchdown drives that each lasted fewer than two minutes. They amassed nine rushing touchdowns, a school record, and compiled 395 yards on 42 carries. It held SSU (0-1) to 139 yards of total offense.
And in true freshman starting quarterback Wes Lunt's debut, he was perfect, connecting on all 11 passes for 129 yards in just four drives. It was the first time in OSU history that a quarterback completed 100 percent of his passes with a minimum of 10 attempts.
