October 18, 2025 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER (AP) — Brendan Sorsby threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score and No. 24 Cincinnati took control late and beat Oklahoma State 49-17 on Saturday night for its sixth straight victory.
Sorsby completed 20 of 29 passes for 270 yards and Cyrus Allen caught two touchdown passes for Cincinnati (6-1, 4-0 Big 12). They paced an offense that gained 427 yards.
Matthew McDoom returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter for the Bearcats.
Rodney Fields Jr. ran for a career-high 163 yards and caught three passes for 27 yards for the Cowboys (1-6, 0-4).
An energetic crowd that showed up despite the team's struggles couldn't save Oklahoma State from its sixth straight defeat. It was the Cowboys' fourth straight loss since firing coach Mike Gundy.
Sorsby threw all three of his touchdown passes in the first half to help the Bearcats take a 28-10 lead. Fields broke loose for a 20-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 28-17 before Cincinnati took charge.
