BYU scores thrilling touchdown with 10 seconds left to fend off Oklahoma State upset
BYU fans erupted in delight as Lassiter and the team celebrated the touchdown. The Cougars held on for the 38-35 victory.
"It's magical. It's spiritual," Retzlaff said. "How can you not be romantic about this game?"
Retzlaff was 13-of-26 with 218 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two interceptions. He also ran for 81 yards and scored a touchdown on the ground.
He threw his first touchdown pass to Keelan Marion with 3:43 left in the third quarter. BYU took the lead on that drive.
Oklahoma State quarterback Alan Bowman and wide receiver Brennan Presley threw touchdowns to each other in the fourth quarter. Presley found Bowman for a 16-yard touchdown to tie the game. After BYU kicked a field goal, Bowman returned the favor on a six-yard touchdown pass with 1:13 left in the game.
The Cowboys' defense just couldn't pull through.
"It was uncharacteristic of what you see from our defense," BYU coach Kalani Sitake said. "I thought we freelanced a little bit for the sake of trying to make the big play."
Cougars running back L.J. Martin had 120 yards on the ground and scored twice. Lassiter had six catches for 1,289 yards.
BYU moved to 7-0 on the season with the win. Oklahoma State is 3-4.
