Hubbard's 223 yards, 2 TDs lead Oklahoma St past TCU 34-27
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - Chuba Hubbard ran for 223 yards and two long touchdowns to help Oklahoma State defeat TCU 34-27 on Saturday.
Hubbard, the nation's leading rusher, ran for 192 yards in the second half to help Oklahoma State become bowl eligible for 14th straight year.
Spencer Sanders passed for 158 yards and ran for 88 and Dillon Stoner caught three passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys (6-3, 3-3 Big 12). Oklahoma State played without star receiver Tylan Wallace, who reportedly tore an ACL during the week.
Kolby Harvell-Peel led Oklahoma State's defense with two interceptions and a fumble recovery.
Max Duggan passed for 258 yards and rushed for 86 for TCU (4-4, 2-3), but he threw three interceptions.
Stoner caught touchdown passes of 57 and 22 yards in the first half to help Oklahoma State take a 17-3 lead. Duggan ran for a touchdown and threw for another to help TCU make it a 17-all game at halftime.
Hubbard broke loose for a 92-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The fourth-longest run in Oklahoma State history gave the Cowboys take a 24-17 lead. Hubbard later took off for a 62-yard score in the fourth quarter to give the Cowboys a 31-17 edge.
TCU's Sewo Olonilua's 1-yard touchdown run cut Oklahoma State's lead to 31-24 with 7:11 to play. Oklahoma State's Matt Ammendola nailed a 43-yard field goal with 2:04 left to extend the Cowboys' lead to 10.
TCU's Jonathan Song made a field goal in the final minute, but Oklahoma State recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.
THE TAKEAWAY
TCU: The Horned Frogs entered the day having allowed just 103.7 yards rushing per game, but surrendered 307 on Saturday.
Oklahoma State: The Cowboys learned they could beat a solid team without Wallace and still run the ball well when everyone expected it to go to Hubbard. They also might have found a new go-to receiver in Stoner.
