No. 9 Oklahoma State routs Arizona 37-14

STILLWATER, Okla. – Brandon Weeden connected with Justin Blackmon on two short touchdown tosses, Joseph Randle ran for two scores and No. 9 Oklahoma State used an early burst of offense to beat Arizona 37-14 on Thursday night in a college football rematch of last year’s Alamo Bowl.

The Cowboys (2-0) scored on their first three drives to open a 21-0 lead in the first 161/2 minutes, then put it away with two scores midway through the second half.

Weeden finished with 397 yards passing, one less than Arizona’s Nick Foles, in a duel between the nation’s top two passers from the first week of the season.

The Wildcats (1-1) played without top receiver Juron Criner. He had an appendectomy on Monday.

Humboldt State 38, Central Washington 36: Brian Blumberg kicked the game-winning 27-yard field goal as time expired as the Lumberjacks (2-0) defeated the Wildcats in Arcata, Calif. CWU has lost its first two games of the season for the first time since 1999.
