Cowboys rally past Ragin’ Cajuns

Third-quarter surge produces 54-28 win

LAFAYETTE, La. – Brandon Weeden threw five touchdowns passes, three of which ignited a second-half rally that boosted No. 22 Oklahoma State to a 54-28 football victory over Louisiana-Lafayette on Friday night.

Weeden hit Michael Harrison for a 24-yard score and Hubert Anylam for a 22-yard touchdown in the first nine minutes of the third quarter as the Cowboys (5-0) scored 24 points in the third quarter to take the lead for good.

The Ragin’ Cajuns (2-3) had taken a 21-17 halftime lead on two TD passes by Chris Masson in the final 4:35, but Oklahoma State scored seven plays into the second half on Kendall Hunter’s 1-yard run.

Weeden was 29 of 47 for 351 yards and the five scores. Justin Blackmon had a career-high 13 catches for 190 yards and two TDs and Kendall Hunter rushed for 126 yards and one TD for the Cowboys.

Masson was 32 of 54 for a career-high 313 yards.
