LUBBOCK, Texas — Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy trusts that his second-ranked Cowboys can handle the mounting pressure as they approach their final two games.
After beating Texas Tech 66-6 on Saturday, No. 2 Oklahoma State is likely two more victories away from playing for the national title.
“I believe in the leadership of this team, that they feel the importance of getting ready for the next game,” said Gundy, whose team is 10-0 for the first time in school history.
Brandon Weeden threw for 423 yards and five touchdowns, and Joseph Randle ran for three more scores to lead Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys (7-0 Big 12), second in the BCS standings this week, next play at Iowa State before closing their season at home against Oklahoma in the Bedlam game.
Weeden, who completed 31-of-37 passes, threw touchdown passes of 2, 27, 28, 48 and 66 yards, and had no interceptions before his backup came in late in the third quarter. Justin Blackmon and Josh Cooper each had more than 100 yards receiving.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Loveland High School graduate Collin Klein scored on a quarterback sneak in the fourth overtime, his sixth touchdown of the game, giving the Wildcats the win.
Klein threw for a career- high 281 yards and added 103 yards on the ground for the Wildcats, who rallied from a 10-point deficit in the final six minutes of regulation to hand the Aggies their third consecutive loss.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Kendial Lawrence topped 100 yards with a TD in relief of the injured Henry Josey, and Missouri’s defense kept the Longhorns out of the end zone for the first time since 2004 in an upset that ended a six-game losing streak in the series.
James Franklin completed his first 10 passes and ran for a 2-yard score for the Tigers, who beat Texas for the first time since 1997. Lawrence had 106 yards on 18 carries with a 35-yard score in the second quarter.
Baylor 31, Kansas 30 (OT)
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Robert Griffin III threw three touchdown passes in a furious fourth-quarter comeback, and the Bears (6-3, 5-3) escaped with a victory when Kansas (2-8, 0-7) failed on a two-point conversion in overtime.
