OKState QB Spencer Sanders was electric on Thursday night. Is it the start of a special season or just a flash in the pan? FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft | GoPokes
If Sanders can continue stringing together such performances, it may be the start of a dark horse Heisman run.
It’s worth noting the Cowboys were heavy favorites against Central Michigan. Sanders’ form was eye-popping, but it did occur against an overmatched opponent from the MAC. The Chippewas allowed 25.6 points per contest throughout the 2021 campaign, including 49 and 34 against LSU and Missouri respectively, who qualified as their toughest opponents last season.
For those questioning the level of his opponent, Sanders’ schedule gets considerably tougher shortly. Contests against Baylor, TCU, and Texas highlight a difficult October. Baylor especially qualifies as a must-watch contest after their defense embarrassed Sanders on two occasions last season. The Cowboys will travel to Oklahoma in November a week before West Virginia visits Boone Pickens Stadium. The latest iteration of The Bedlam Series looms large for Sanders’ overall evaluation.
Sanders is aiming to build upon an inconsistent showing last season. The dual-threat quarterback threw for a career-high 2,839 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Sanders rushed for an additional 668 yards and scored six touchdowns via the ground game. Sanders wrapped up his junior campaign with a legendary performance against Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl in a thrilling 37-35 victory. His efforts led to him being named the All-Big-12 quarterback as chosen by conference coaches.
