Bobcats Almost Silence Stillwater

Mike Gundy's first win almost wasn't.
OSU's Donovan Woods threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score as Oklahoma State recorded a 15-10 victory over Montana State.
Montana State (0-1) threatened late in the fourth quarter, but Oklahoma State forced a punt when defensive tackle Darnell Smith tackled Justin Domineck for a 6-yard loss on third down on the Cowboys 39. The Bobcats never got the ball back.
Montana State's Travis Lulay was 22-of-34 for 205 yards.
"Whether it's against a giant or against a pip-squeak, a loss is a loss, and so there is no way around it," said Montana St. coach Mike Kramer. "We let a giant off the hook."
The Cowboys (1-0) struggled with the spread offense Gundy has implemented since taking over for Les Miles, but used a two-quarterback system to win their 10th straight home opener.
"We would have liked to have run up 30 or 40 points and held them to 10, but that's not what happened tonight," Gundy said. "I'm happy with what happened out there tonight."
Woods started and played a majority of snaps, completing 10 of 20 passes for 117 yards and rushing for 61 yards on nine carries. Redshirt freshman Bobby Reid ran for 82 yards on six attempts.
Woods' 23-yard lob to brother D'Juan Woods on Oklahoma State's first possession of the second half erased the Bobcats' 10-8 halftime lead.
The Cowboys, coming off three bowl appearances, had 378 total yards, including 244 yards on the ground, but had difficulty turning that into points. They lost 67 yards on eight penalties and converted only three of 12 third-down chances.
Donovan Woods' 11-yard run on the Cowboys' first possession of the game gave Oklahoma State an 8-0 lead.
The Bobcats, helped by Lulay's 37-yard pass on a fake punt, took a 10-8 lead when Michael Bass scored from the 3 in the second quarter.
MSU scored its first points of the game on a 35-yard field goal by Jeff Hastings.
