STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Redshirt freshman Baylor Hayes threw for 219 yards and a touchdown and Seth Morgan kicked four field goals to help Tulsa defeat Oklahoma State 19-12 on Friday night for the first time in 27 years.
Hayes started his second straight game in place of Kirk Francis and completed 23 of 36 passes without an interception for Tulsa (2-2), which last beat Oklahoma State in 1998. It was the Golden Hurricane's first win in Stillwater since Nov. 3, 1951.
Morgan kicked field goals of 27, 38 and 47 yards to give the Golden Hurricane a 16-3 halftime lead. He connected from 47 yards on Tulsa's first drive of the third quarter to make it 19-3.
Oklahoma State (1-2) rallied after that behind Zane Flores, a third-year freshman making his second career start. Flores passed for 214 yards and rushed for 56 and scored on a 5-yard keeper to cut the deficit to 19-9 early in the fourth quarter.
Logan Ward's 49-yard field goal with 5:49 left in the quarter made it 19-12. The game ended when the Cowboys' Gavin Freeman was pushed out of bounds at the Tulsa 10-yard line.
