BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff led his team to a thrilling 38-35 victory over Oklahoma State with a 35-yard touchdown pass to Darius Lassiter in the final seconds of the game. Despite a late touchdown by Oklahoma State’s Alan Bowman to take the lead, Retzlaff orchestrated an impressive 75-yard drive to secure the win and keep BYU’s unbeaten season alive.
In addition to his game-winning heroics, Retzlaff put up 218 passing yards and two touchdowns while also contributing 81 rushing yards. His 27-yard run on the final drive set up the decisive touchdown, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities on the field.
On the other side, Oklahoma State’s Ollie Gordon II had a standout performance with 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns, a significant improvement from his previous conference games. Despite Gordon’s efforts, the Cowboys fell short against a determined BYU team.
BYU, now 7-0 overall and 4-0 in Big 12 play, will face UCF in their next game, looking to extend their winning streak. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State (3-4, 0-4) will travel to Waco, Texas to take on Baylor in their upcoming matchup.
The victory over Oklahoma State solidifies BYU’s position as one of three Big 12 teams, alongside Iowa State and Texas Tech, who have yet to suffer a loss in conference play. With Retzlaff’s leadership and clutch performance, the Cougars are proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the Big 12 this season.
