Oklahoma State KOs No. 13 Texas Tech 24-17

By
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Al Pena scored on a 1-yard run with 23 seconds remaining to stave off a rally by No. 13 Texas Tech and give Oklahoma State a 24-17 win Saturday.<br> <br> Julius Crosslin did most of the work on the Cowboys&#39; last drive with runs of 12, 11, 10 and 9, putting Pena in position to break a 17-17 tie.<br> <br> It was the first Big 12 win for Oklahoma State (4-5, 1-5) and spoiled Texas Tech&#39;s hopes of its first 10-win season since 1976.<br> <br> The Cowboys dominated much of the game and led 17-0 with 6:41 to go in the third quarter. The Red Raiders (8-2, 5-2) finally got on the board with a field goal minutes later, and Cody Hodges threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jarrett Hicks with 14:42 to go. <br> <br> Seconds later, after a penalty left the Cowboys driving from their own 8, Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid fumbled and Chris Hudler jumped on it in the end zone for the tying TD.<br> <br> That set up a wild final quarter, in which the ball changed hands on turnovers three more times, before Pena, who hadn&#39;t played until the fourth quarter, scored.<br> <br> Mike Hamilton led the Cowboys with 161 yards rushing on 23 carries. The tailback, who had the best game of his career two weeks ago against Texas with 194 yards on 31 carries, scored on an 83-yard run in the first quarter after ducking two defenders and sprinting down the middle of the field.<br> <br> Oklahoma State held down Red Raiders top-ranked passing attack, which came in averaging 433.3 yards, and smothered Tech&#39;s running game throughout. The Red Raiders managed only 30 yards on the ground.<br> <br> Hodges was 29-for-42 for 308 yards.<br> <br> With 23 yards in receptions, Red Raiders running back Taurean Henderson became the third Division I-A player with 2,000 yards rushing and 2,000 yards receiving in his career. But he finished with minus-6 yards rushing.<br> <br> Oklahoma State rushed for 303 yards, using short bursts to make 9 of 17 third down conversions.<br> <br> Reid showed no signs of the foot injury that had sidelined him since the Oct. 8 game against Missouri. He completed 10 of 18 pass attempts for 82 yards before being replaced after a fourth-quarter fumble.<br> <br> Oklahoma State took a 14-0 lead when Reid&#39;s 17-yard pass met D&#39;Juan Woods in the middle with 1:34 remaining in the first quarter. Woods, stumbling to keep his feet from tangling with a defender, recovered and ran in the touchdown.<br> <br> The Cowboys&#39; other points came on a 29-yard field goal by Bruce Redden in the third quarter.<br> <br> © 2005 The Associated Press.
