Pokes Advance to 5-0 After Defeating A&M

Well it was another one of those nights for Dez Bryant as Oklahoma State was finally able to end the 4-year losing streak against Texas A&M. This is the fourth consecutive game in which the cowboys have scored 50+ points on their opponents and they made it look pretty simple.

The first half was a nightmare of all sorts for the Aggies after they turned the ball over 5 times, two of which were interception returns for touchdowns. Cowboys' Patrick Lavine and Ugo Chinasa were both able to pick Jerrod Johnson passes for touchdowns to expand the Pokes early lead. 

Dez Bryant had another great game recording 4 touchdowns, one of which was a 78-yard punt return touchdown.  The other TD's came off of 29, 23, and 21-yard passes from Robinson. He finished the day with 106 yards receiving. 

As expected, the offense had yet another great game. Robinson went 10/13 for 186 yards and 3 TDs through the air to go along with 15 rushes for 66 yards and 2 TDs on the ground. The ground game was unable to perform as it had in previous weeks, but it was still pretty efficient. However, the cowboys snapped their 15 game streak of at least one 100-yard rusher, as Kendall Hunter came up just 10 yards short. Regardless, the pokes were still able to rack up 215 yards rushing with the help of runs by Toston and Robinson. 

The defense had a stellar evening and it was definitely their best game so far this year. They forced 5 turnovers in the first half alone, which helped the Pokes jump out with a huge early lead. The only play that went wrong for the D in the first half was the 80-yard run by Mike Goodson late in the first quarter that brought A&M within 14.

Considering that the Cowboys defense had only forced 6 turnovers in their previous 4 games, they proved a lot in last nights game. If the defense is able to force a couple turnovers a game, the offense should be able to handle the rest.
