Cowboys Rally Past Jayhawks, 42-32
October 14, 2006 | Cowboy Football
Reid threw for 411 yards and rushed for 46 more, surpassing his coach Mike Gundy's record of 434 yards set in 1989 against the Jayhawks.
Adarius Bowman was Reid's favorite target with 13 catches for a school-record 300 yards and four touchdowns.
The sophomore quarterback was 23-of-35 and accounted for all six Cowboy touchdowns as Oklahoma State rolled up 603 yards against a defense that was ranked 110th nationally against the pass.
Reid's total through the air was only 18 yards shy of Gundy's school record of 429.
The Cowboys (4-2, 1-1 Big 12), who had been averaging better than 37 points per game, trailed 17-0 midway through the third quarter when Reid hit Bowman on a crossing rout that turned into a 54-yard touchdown pass. The Cowboys then recovered an onside kick and scored again on a 29-yard run by Reid to make it 17-14.
After a three-and-out by the Jayhawks, it took Reid all of four plays to find Bowman on a 25-yard touchdown pass for a 21-17 lead - giving the Cowboys three scores in a span of 3:41.
But Oklahoma State wasn't done.
Early in the fourth quarter, Reid and Bowman connected on a 55-yard touchdown pass to make it 28-17, and after Brandon McAnderson scored from 10 yards out, Reid hit Bowman across the middle. The junior wide receiver turned the corner and raced 55 yards down the sideline to make it 35-25.
Reid tacked on one more touchdown, this time a fade to receiver D'Juan Woods in the corner of the end zone, as the Cowboys rolled up 392 yards of second-half offense and outscored the Jayhawks 42-15 after the break.
Oklahoma State controlled much of the first half, too, but was plagued by turnovers that the Jayhawks turned into points.
Freshman running back Keith Toston, making his first start, fumbled at the Cowboys' 30 in the first quarter. Two plays later, Kerry Meier hit Marcus Herford for a 33-yard touchdown pass.
On the Cowboys' ensuing possession, Toston fumbled again in the Oklahoma State backfield, and Meier led an eight-play drive that ended with a 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Derek Fine and a 14-0 lead.
Meier, the Jayhawks' freshman quarterback, was making his first start since missing three games with a shoulder injury. He finished 15-of-27 for 187 yards and three touchdowns, while adding a team-high 70 yards on the ground.
