Cowboys Roll Past Florida Atlantic
September 16, 2006 | Cowboy Football
Mike Hamilton rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns as the Cowboys rolled to their third consecutive lopsided victory, 48-8 over Florida Atlantic.
Oklahoma State is off to a 3-0 start, hardly a surprise considering the previous two opponents were Missouri State and Arkansas State.
The Cowboys have outscored their opponents, 135-25, and have one more non-conference game - next week at Houston - before venturing into Big 12 play.
Hamilton opened the scoring with a six-yard run and Chris Collins returned a fumble three yards to stake the Cowboys to a 14-0 first-quarter lead and they never looked back.
Quarterback Bobby Reid was 9-of-16 for 169 yards and one touchdown, a 69-yard pass to Adarius Bowman in the second quarter. He later scored on a nine-yard run.
Dantrell Savage capped the scoring for the Cowboys with a 70-yard TD run in the fourth quarter and finished with 97 yards on eight carries.
Florida Atlantic (0-3), which is coach by Howard Schnellenberger, got its only score in the fourth quarter on an eight-yard run by fullback Willie Rose. The team has been outscored 147-14 this season.
