Cowboys survive trip to Texas Tech with Big 12 and playoff hopes still intact

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Three red zone trips without points. Three defensive penalties in the end zone. An interception returned for a touchdown.

No. 15 Oklahoma State's list of mistakes on Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium is long. Several were costly.

Somehow, the Cowboys found a way to survive and still leave Lubbock with a win.

Thanks to a late touchdown run by quarterback Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State emerged with a 41-34 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday night, keeping their Big 12 championship game and College Football Playoff hopes alive for the moment.
