No. 17 Oklahoma State 24, Texas Christian 10: Josh Stewart returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown and added 141 receiving yards as the Cowboys overcame a sloppy effort against visiting the Horned Frogs.

The offensive struggles by Oklahoma State (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) led to the first-half benching of quarterback J.W. Walsh, who was replaced by the equally ineffective Clint Chelf. Combined, Walsh and Chelf were 19-of-43 for 293 yards with three interceptions, while the Cowboys' rushing attack managed a total of 95 yards on 35 attempts.

Stewart stepped up for Oklahoma State with a season-high 10 receptions, however, and also surpassed his previous season best of 127 yards. With his strong effort against Texas Christian, the junior wideout also passed current Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant for sixth place on Oklahoma State’s all-time receptions list with 151.

Three of the Cowboys’ first four possessions ended in interceptions – two by Walsh and one by Chelf – but Stewart provided a first-quarter spark with the longest punt return for a score in school history. An interception by safety Daytawion Lowe set up Oklahoma State in TCU territory, and Desmond Roland plunged in from 3 yards out for a 17-0 lead.

The Horned Frogs (3-4, 1-3) got on the board with a third-quarter field goal before Waymon James’ 14-yard run made it 17-10 with 7:39 remaining in the fourth. But on the Cowboys’ next possession, Stewart made a 27-yard reception at the 7, setting up Rennie Childs’ TD run on the next play.
