Russell threw four touchdown passes, including an 89-yarder to Platt for the go-ahead score in the third quarter, and the No. 16 Bears held on to beat the Cowboys 35-24 on Saturday night in the weather-delayed Big 12 opener for both teams.

It's the first conference game and road game of the season for the Cowboys. That's why I'm so upset at everybody. "It just was unbelievable tonight to watch the guys play so hard". "It's what Coach Kaz (Kazadi) and them, that's what they train us to do every day".

The reason the Cowboys had such great ball control was a rushing attack that worked as well as it has in years.

The Bears didn't take much time to get the lead right back. Russell capped BU's scoring by fitting in the 15-yard strike to Platt in the end zone with 5:14 left in the final quarter.

Washington's effect on the team goes beyond the numbers. He finished the night with five receptions for 77 yards. But Zach Sinor launched a 56-yard punt that the Bears' return man Tony Nicholson fielded inside his own 5, and under pressure, Nicholson dropped the ball, allowing OSU's No. 52 - everybody in the press box scrambled to find his name (Tanner Morgan, long snapper) - to smother it at the 5.

"You know, it seems like when our defense gets their backs against the wall, we play better", Grobe said laughing.

"I think even though there's been some shake-up, the foundation of who they are and how they play the game of football still fits and still looks the same".

Switching is still not trivial, but once a database is moved to the cloud, it becomes a lot simpler. That's the booming market that Oracle wants to get in on.

Baylor punt returner Tony Nicholson made a decision to field a punt - from Zach Sinor - inside his own 5-yard line, and after running backward, Ashton Lampkin forced a fumble that was recovered by Oklahoma State long snapper Tanner Morgan. That set up third and 23, miraculously saved by Rudolph evading yet more pressure for a 25-yard gain... only for the Cowboys to lose a fumble at the goal line, which Gundy said wiped away any sense of achievement.

Thanks to his offensive line, he stayed clean in the pocket. "And he's a freshman, I understand that, but he's got to learn to take care of the football". "I love the kid and we're going to keep playing him... but he needs to take care of the ball".

Oklahoma State had a 2:1 time of possession advantage during most of the game. All its touchdowns were five yards or fewer. In rushing, Rennie Childs ran for 101 yards and four touchdowns in 10 carries while Justice Hill added 28 yards in 12 carries.

"I hate it", Gundy said.

It may have been the biggest play of the game.

They count a lot when they come at crucial points in a game. Officials initially gave the ball to Oklahoma State, but the ruling was reversed on replay.
