STILLWATER, OKLA. ? Tatum Bell rushed for 215 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries, and fullback Shawn Willis added two more scores as Oklahoma State beat Wyoming, 48-24, Saturday night.

Oklahoma State (1-1) came out flat in this game, not surprising after a deflating 17-7 loss at Nebraska last week that dropped the Cowboys out of the AP Top 25.

But Oklahoma State’s offense came alive following Gabe Lindsay’s 55-yard punt return for a touchdown in the first quarter.

Lindsay fielded the ball at his 45-yard line, took off down the right sideline and cut back all the way across the field to avoid a cluster of defenders. He shook loose Wyoming punter Luke Donovan with one last cut at the six-yard line before stumbling into the end zone.

It was Oklahoma State’s first punt return for a touchdown since 2000, when Lindsay did it against Texas A&M.

From there, Oklahoma State put together consecutive scoring drives of 92, 98, 48, 86 and 76 yards, making the score 41-7 late in the third. The scoring only stopped when the Cowboys sat down Bell, quarterback Josh Fields and receiver Rashaun Woods.

Meanwhile, Wyoming (1-1) couldn’t get much of anything going on offense.

Casey Bramlet, who threw for nearly 3,330 yards last season, misfired on his first six pass attempts and 12 of his first 14. He was sacked five times, down from six the week before against I-AA Montana State, and knocked down countless others.

He finished 17-of-38 for 306 yards and three touchdowns, two to Malcolm Floyd.
