Dezmon Jackson thrust himself into elite company on Saturday. Making his first career start at running back for Oklahoma State in place of injured tailbacks Chuba Hubbard and LD Brown, Jackson rushed for 235 yards on 36 attempts, scoring thrice in what amounted to a coming out party on national television as the Pokes salted away their sixth win of the season.
His 235 yards on the ground were the seventh-most in a game by an OSU running back since 2000, putting him in the record books alongside Chuba Hubbard (twice), Tatum Bell, Vernand Morency (twice) and Kendall Hunter.
