Hill, Carson Run Over TCU

Oklahoma State pushed its win streak to seven, improving to 9-2 after beating TCU 31-6 Saturday afternoon in Fort Worth.

The Horned Frogs got on the board late in the first quarter with a four-yard jet flip to KaVontae Turpin after capitalizing off an OSU turnover but missed the extra point.

The Cowboys answered back with a connection from Mason Rudolph to Chris Lacy to put them up, 7-6 with 42 seconds before the start of the second.

Going into the second quarter, Justice Hill had 60 rushing yards on the day, helping him move ahead of Cowboy legend Thurman Thomas for most yards by an OSU true freshman.

With seconds before intermission, OSU made a huge stop at the one-yard line to preserve its 10-6 lead. 

Although the Cowboys maintained good field position, they wrapped the first half with little to show for it.

Entering halftime, both OSU and TCU were playing good defense, showing that there was some defense in the Big 12. The Cowboys ten points were their lowest scored in a half this season and the Horned Frogs six tied their lowest.

Early in the third quarter, Carson broke tackles and made an end zone appearance to elevate OSU's lead, 17-6. The score put him at 11 rushes and 77 yards on the day.

At this point, most of the Cowboys explosive plays were on the ground and Hill was the caption of the ship.

After an interception by Lenzy Pipkins, OSU cashed in on the possession with a quarterback keeper by Rudolph to advance the Cowboys advantage 24-6.

With three minutes before the fourth quarter, OSU was dominating in the passing and running game.

And it didn't stop there.

After Hill and Carson advanced OSU up the field, Rudolph recorded another score to help the Cowboys take a 31-6 lead.

With 11:08 left in the final quarter, Carson surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark with 101 and Hill had 105. Rudolph had no turnovers and was in complete control of the game.

OSU held its lead to win, 31-6.

With the victory, OSU recorded its best rushing day (334 yards) in three years. The Horned Frogs' loss was the program's worst at home since 1997.
