STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Less than nine months after losing to Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl, Arizona gets a chance for revenge against the ninth-ranked Cowboys on Thursday night.
The matchup of the nation’s top two passers from Week 1 is also a rematch of Oklahoma State’s 36-10 victory last December in San Antonio.
In that game, the Cowboys grabbed a 14-0 lead in the first seven minutes, sacked Arizona quarterback Nick Foles five times and forced four turnovers. Foles threw three picks, including one that was returned for a touchdown.
The Wildcats haven’t forgotten. The image of Justin Blackmon celebrating a touchdown by jogging along the goal line and then heading toward the stands stuck with Arizona after it lost five straight games to finish last season.
