LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Justin Blackmon had a career-high 207 yards receiving with a touchdown to lead No. 20 Oklahoma State to a 34-17 win over Texas Tech on Saturday, the Cowboys’ first in Lubbock since 1944.
Blackmon’s 62-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was the longest play of the game and put the contest out of reach for the Cowboys (6-0, 2-0 Big 12). Brandon Weeden completed 24 of 35 passes for 356 yards, the touchdown and two interceptions.
The Cowboys went ahead 21-0 in the first quarter after three rushing touchdowns — 15 yards by Kendall Hunter, and 4 yards each by Joseph Randle and Jeremy Smith — and Texas Tech couldn’t put together enough offense in the second half to make it a contest.
Taylor Potts, who had 462 yards in last week’s 45-38 win over Baylor, went 28 of 43 for 226 yards and a touchdown for Texas Tech (3-3, 1-6).
