PROVO, Utah – Jake Retzlaff threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Darius Lassiter with 10 seconds left to lift No. 13 BYU past Oklahoma State 38-35 on Friday night.

Retzlaff threw for 218 yards and two touchdowns for the Cougars (7-0, 4-0 Big 12). He also ran for 81 yards and a score. Lassiter had a season-high 129 yards on six catches and LJ Martin had a career-high 120 yards and two touchdowns.

Oklahoma State (3-4, 0-4) has lost four straight. The Cowboys took the lead on a 6-yard pass from Alex Bowman to Brennan Presley with 1:13 left. That was the culmination of a 17-game drive that lasted nearly 8 1/2 minutes.

Bowman also caught a crucial pass in the second half. Ollie Gordon II ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns and caught a TD pass for Oklahoma State.

The Cowboys' starting quarterback, Garret Rangel, left just before halftime with an injury.

BYU trailed at halftime for just the second time this season before scoring back-to-back goals in the third quarter to take a 28-21 lead.

The Cowboys tied the game at 28 when Bowman caught a 16-yard pass on a trick play to open the fourth quarter.

The takeaway food

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys rediscovered their dormant running attack, gaining 269 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. The inability to consistently stop BYU's offense negated these successes.

BYU: An uncharacteristic series of turnovers and sloppy run tackling put the Cougars in tough situations for most of four quarters. It nearly undermined BYU with 473 total yards of offense.

Impact on the survey

A dramatic win will likely allow the Cougars to move up in the AP Top Poll on Sunday.
