The loss for Oklahoma State dropped the Cowboys to 1-2. Oklahoma State beat UT Martin 27-7 in its first game but was demolished by Oregon last week, as the No. 6 team in the country beat them, 69-3.

The 58-year-old head coach praised the "awesome" fans after the game, despite the calls for his job. 

"They were awesome tonight, they really were," Gundy said via the New York Post. "The stadium was full, and they were fired up, and they were awesome."
