Earlier, Oklahoma State drove down to the Zona 23, only to see the offense sputter out. Dan Bailey came in an kicked a field goal to extend the lead back to two scores, then missed the point-after on Martin’s touchdown.
Arizona responds with another long drive, getting all the way down to the Oklahoma State 30 before Foles is picked off at the 2-yard line by Johnny Thomas. With 140 yards, the Wildcats have now outgained the Cowboys.
