AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — What a kick!

Oklahoma State and Texas pulled off a rare double Saturday when they traded kickoff returns for touchdowns at the start of the third quarter.

Oklahoma State’s Justin Gilbert went 100 yards with the opening kick, tying the Cowboys’ school record with his fourth career kick return touchdown that gave OSU at 28-10 lead. He tied to the school record held by Parrish Cox.

Not to be outdone, Texas’ Fozzy Whittaker returned Oklahoma State’s kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. Whittaker had a 100-yard kickoff return for a score the previous week in a loss to Oklahoma.
