The Cowboys’ defense forced Florida Atlantic quarterback Danny Embick to twice commit costly fumbles deep in Owls territory in the game at Dolphins Stadium.

Trailing 6-3 late in the second quarter, Embick was sacked by defensive end Victor DeGrate, and McGee recovered on the 5. Running back Mike Hamilton and Crosslin made 2-yard gains before Crosslin scored the Cowboys’ first touchdown from the 1.

Donovan Woods completed 5-yard passes to Bobby Reid and Tommy Devereaux, and Hamilton made a 9-yard run to set up Crosslin’s 2-yarder for his second touchdown.

Oklahoma State kicker Bruce Redden added his third field goal of the game, a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter. Earlier, he made from 30 and 44 yards.

The Cowboys (2-0) had a season-opening 15-10 victory over Montana State. Florida Atlantic (0-2) lost again after falling to Kansas University, 30-19, on Saturday.
