NORMAN, Okla. – Kickoff for the Bedlam rivalry is under two hours away and courtesy of Cowboys Sports Network from Learfield we find out that Oklahoma State while having star quarterback Spencer Sanders ready and starting for the game between the No. 22-Cowboys and unranked Sooners there are other OSU players that will miss the game tonight.

Sanders will have his helmet instead of a stocking hat.

The most updated information is that Sanders plays, and the Cowboys also have receivers Braydon Johnson and Jaden Bray readily available. Also, center Preston Wilson is back and that is key for the Oklahoma State offensive line. By the way Sanders after getting most of two weeks off between the loss to Kansas State and his entry into the Iowa State game last Saturday to help rally the Cowboys to a 20-14 victory. 

Missing the game will be offensive lineman Jason Brooks, who has been starting at guard recently. Joe Michalski moves from center to guard with Wilson back at center. Also, the receivers coming back helps as freshman receiver Stephon Johnson Jr. had an ankle injury in practice this week that likely keeps him out of the game.
