If only for a game, the Big 12 returned to its high-scoring form of yesteryears.
Oklahoma State beat Texas Tech 50-44 on Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium, and the Cowboys’ offensive production came from an unlikely source.
With Chuba Hubbard and LD Brown both out nursing injuries, Dezmon Jackson ran for 235 yards and three touchdowns in his first start. A junior college transfer from Hutchinson Community College (Kansas), Jackson had only 18 carries for 135 yards at the DI level entering Saturday.
He scored all three of the Cowboys’ first-half touchdowns, starting with a 1-yard run out of the I-formation.
