Sophomore running back Joseph Randle racked up four touchdowns for the second straight week and No. 4 Oklahoma State scored 28 points off five turnovers en route to a resounding 59-24 victory over visiting Baylor on Saturday.
Brandon Weeden threw three touchdowns – two to reigning Biletnikoff award winner Justin Blackmon - for Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys (8-0, 5-0 Big 12), who have won 15 of the last 16 meetings with Baylor, are off to their best start since 1945. They are 5-0 in conference play for the first time and are on track to reach their first-ever BCS national championship game.
Oklahoma State is currently third in the BCS standings and with No. 1 LSU set to play No. 2 Alabama next week, the Cowboys will likely reach New Orleans if they can run the table.
Oklahoma State continued dream season with another victory over Baylor (4-3, 1-3 Big 12), which hasn’t won in Stillwater since 1939.
Heisman candidate Robert Griffin III and the Bears’ high-octane offense were no match for the Cowboys, who scored twice in the span of 18 seconds after coming up with a goal-line stand on the game’s opening possession, and led 35-0 at halftime.
Griffin III entered the game leading the nation in passing efficiency, but finished 33 of 49 for 425 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also ran for a score.
