Oklahoma State Scores 34 Straight and Rolls Colorado 57-24
Colorado led 24-23 at the half. Oklahoma State won 57-24. In between, the Cowboys scored 34 points in a row, and Colorado did not score again. That is six scoring plays after the break (four touchdowns and two field goals) against none for the Buffaloes.
The first half was a shootout. Miles Coleman caught a 47-yard touchdown from Drew Mestemaker on the first scoring play, Isaac Wilson answered with touchdown throws to JaQuail Smith and DeAndre Moore Jr., and the lead flipped back and forth before the break. Wilson ran in from a yard at 6:19 of the second quarter, Elliott Arnold's 45-yard field goal made it 24-20, and Sam Keltner's 41-yarder at 0:14 got Oklahoma State within one.
Then it was one-way traffic. Morgan McPhaul caught a 3-yard touchdown pass and William Mason ran in from 3 yards. Keltner added field goals from 21 and 30 yards, Wyatt Young caught a 28-yard score, and Tre Page III closed it with an 18-yard run at 1:18. Oklahoma State had 598 yards (410 passing, 188 rushing) and no turnovers. Colorado had 399 yards but turned it over three times, two interceptions and a lost fumble.
Oklahoma State is 5-2 and Colorado is 2-5. Colorado's Wilson threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns and ran in another, so the offense was fine for a half and then the second half got away from it. Mestemaker was the top fantasy scorer at 40.2 points. Wilson's 30.8 was a season high even in a loss, and Justin Bowick had 138 receiving yards.
