TCU done in by Hubbard’s 223 yards, 2 TDs
STILLWATER, Okla. — Chuba Hubbard ran for 223 yards and two long touchdowns to help Oklahoma State defeat TCU
34-27 on Saturday.
Hubbard, the nation’s leading rusher, ran for 192 yards in the second half to help Oklahoma State become bowl eligible for 14th straight year.
Spencer Sanders passed for 158 yards and ran for 88, and Dillon Stoner caught three passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys (6-3, 3-3 Big 12). Oklahoma State played without star receiver Tylan Wallace, who reportedly tore an ACL during the week.
Kolby Harvell-Peel led Oklahoma State’s defense with two interceptions and a fumble recovery.
Max Duggan passed for 258 yards and rushed for 86 for TCU (4-4, 2-3), but he threw three interceptions.
Stoner caught touchdown passes of 57 and 22 yards in the first half to help Oklahoma State take a 17-3 lead. Duggan ran for a touchdown and threw for another to help TCU make it a 17-all game at halftime.
Hubbard broke loose for a 92-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The fourth-longest run in Oklahoma State history gave the Cowboys a 24-17 lead. Hubbard later took off for a 62-yard score in the fourth to give the Cowboys a 31-17 edge.
TCU’s Sewo Olonilua’s 1-yard touchdown run cut Oklahoma State’s lead to 31-24 with 7:11 to play. Oklahoma State’s Matt Ammendola nailed a 43-yard field goal with 2:04 left to extend the Cowboys’ lead to 10.
TCU’s Jonathan Song made a field goal in the final minute, but Oklahoma State recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.
KANSAS ST. 38, KANSAS 10
Skylar Thompson ran for 127 yards and three touchdowns, Harry Trotter added 92 yards rushing and another score, and the No. 22 Wildcats romped to a victory over the Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kan.
Thompson also had 129 yards passing for Kansas State (6-2, 3-2), which showed no letdown from its upset of then-No. 5 Oklahoma in bludgeoning Kansas (3-6, 1-5) for the 12th consecutive time.
Carter Stanley was 13-of-23 for 115 yards and two interceptions for Kansas before leaving with an injury late in the game. Star running back Pooka Williams managed just 61 yards rushing.
The Wildcats held new coach Les Miles’ team to 241 yards of offense, a 2-for-10 mark on third down and stopped it on both fourth-down tries. Kansas State also had four sacks, dominated the time of possession and had 342 yards rushing in what turned into a lopsided affair.
Both teams rolled into Memorial Stadium off big wins, though. Along with the Wildcats’ win over the Sooners, the Jayhawks beat Texas Tech on a game-ending field goal — the two wins separated by a stretch of Interstate 70 each prompting field-stormings and Big 12 reprimands.
So there was a little more excitement than usual for the Sunflower Showdown. Kansas announced a sellout for the first time since 2009.
