Savion Williams and Cam Cook each scored two touchdowns as TCU became bowl eligible with a 38-13 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday in the Big 12 Conference matchup in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Horned Frogs (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) scored touchdowns on five consecutive drives from the first to fourth quarters, including a pair of scores following turnovers by the Cowboys.
Josh Hoover passed for 286 yards and a touchdown for TCU, while JP Richardson racked up seven catches for 100 yards.
Alan Bowman threw for 141 yards with a touchdown and an interception for Oklahoma State (3-7, 0-7), which has lost seven straight games and will not play in a bowl game for the first time since the 2005 season. Ollie Gordon II ran for 121 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys, while De’Zhaun Stribling caught seven passes for 101 yards and a score.
TCU began the game with a 10-play, 61-yard drive that ended with Kyle Lemmermann’s 32-yard field goal. Oklahoma State punted on its first possession, but the Horned Frogs were unable to cash in as Lemmermann missed a 44-yard kick.
However, the hosts got another opportunity not long thereafter as Gordon fumbled and Abe Camara recovered at the TCU 37. Seven plays later, Cook slipped through defenders on his way to an 18-yard touchdown run.
The next Cowboys possession also ended with a turnover — this one an interception by Bud Clark — and TCU was back in the end zone 11 plays later. Williams punctuated the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 6:30 left in the second quarter.
The Horned Frogs squeezed in one final touchdown before the end of the half, as Hoover connected with Williams on a 6-yard slant to make it 24-0 with seven seconds remaining.
The Cowboys scored a pair of touchdowns in the second half, but they simply could not stop TCU.
The Horned Frogs had one possession in the third quarter and marched 69 yards in 11 plays, capped by Cook’s 4-yard scoring run. Then in the fourth, their first offensive play was a 16-yard run by Williams, followed immediately by Jordyn Bailey’s electric 59-yard touchdown burst on an end-around.
