The Pokes put on another impressive display in Stillwater tonight on homecoming night. After pulling off a huge upset last weekend, the undefeated Cowboys were able to pick apart an improving Baylor team and improve to 7-0 for the first time since World War II (1945).
The Pokes got off to an ugly start, beginning with a 3-and-out for the first time all year on the opening drive. On their next drive, the Cowboys turned the ball over on a toss play which Hunter was unable to hang on to. Baylor took advantage of the fumble and drove down the field that led to a touchdown. The Bears were unable to convert on the extra-point when Oklahoma State's special teams unit blocked the kick.
On the next drive; however, the Pokes turned things around and drove down the field 61 yards for a score capped by a 4-yard Toston TD run. The Cowboys basically owned the game after that...
Zac Robinson Dez Bryant continued to improve their Heisman resume. Bryant had a great day recording 212 yards receiving and two touchdowns while Robinson went 13-for-20 for 238 yards passing. Kendall Hunter continued to pound the ball on the ground rushing for 93 yards on 26 carries while Keith Toston ran for 57 yards on 14 carries and 2 touchdowns.
The Pokes defense was outstanding again tonight, holding the Bears to only 204 total yards. One area on defense that really impressed me was our rushing defense. The defense allowed only 42 total yards on 31 rush attempts (1.4 yards/carry). As for our pass defense, they were pressuring Griffin the whole game forcing him to scramble and make inaccurate throws. Orie Lemon, Andre Sexton and Jeremiah Price were running around all over the field making big plays throughout the game.
The Cowboys are one of the nine teams that still remain unbeaten and will play #1 ranked Texas next weekend in Austin.
