Related Topics: Nick Martin

After Arkansas dominated offensively in the first half, No. 16 Oklahoma State's star linebacker, Nick Martin, led the defense in the Cowboys' 39-31 double overtime, comeback victory.

Martin led the defense to only allow 10 points in the second half and slow the run game behind his team-high 4.5 tackles for loss.

He totaled 16 tackles, with eight of them being solos. Martin had a fumble recovery that would also be overturned. One part of his game that will not be shown on the stat sheet is quarterback pressures, as he forced Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green into some bad throws or other tackles for loss.
