The improbability of the Oklahoma State comeback that was nearly completed on Saturday night can hardly be overstated.
The largest deficit overcome to win in OSU history was 20, at Colorado in 1979. Big 12 history, 31 points, by Texas Tech against Minnesota in the 2006 Insight Bowl. Major-college history, 35, by Michigan State against Northwestern in 2006.
So this was in the wheelhouse of wild. The Cowboys trailed 42-13 with four minutes left in the third quarter and still trailed 45-20 with little more than nine minutes left in the game. [NewsOK]
Not to rub our noses in it but that fumble recovery late in the fourth quarter was the first time I felt anything at that game since I first laid eyes on the ice cream sandwiches in the cooler.
