LUBBOCK, Texas — Mike Gundy didn’t talk to his players last week about how long it had been since No. 20 Oklahoma State had won in Lubbock.
“We didn’t say a word about it all week,” the Cowboys coach said of the 66-year drought. “But what I did tell the team was I’ve been out here with some good football teams and had my butt kicked. So to think that that wasn’t in the back of your mind, or in the back of my mind early in the fourth quarter wouldn’t be shooting straight.”
Justin Blackmon had a career-high 207 yards receiving with a touchdown to lead Oklahoma State to a 34-17 victory over Texas Tech, its first win in Lubbock since 1944.
Blackmon’s 62-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter put the contest out of reach for the Cowboys (6-0, 2-0).
Taylor Potts went 28-of-43 for 226 yards and a touchdown for Texas Tech (3-3, 1-3).
No. 6 Oklahoma 52, Iowa State 0
NORMAN, Okla. — DeMarco Murray scored three times to set Oklahoma’s career record for touchdowns.
Murray, who ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns and scored on a 15-yard screen pass, surpassed 1969 Heisman Trophy winner Steve Owens’ record of 57 touchdowns.
Ryan Broyles broke his own mark for receptions in a game for the Sooners (6-0, 2-0), finishing with 182 yards on 15 catches and one TD.
The Cyclones (3-4, 1-2) absorbed their second straight blowout against a top-10 team that was off the week before.
