STILLWATER, Okla. (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, and all have been by double digits.
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.
The takeaway Cincinnati: The Bearcats gave up 377 yards to an Oklahoma State offense that has mostly struggled all season. They made up for it by forcing three turnovers, but they'll still need to tighten up a bit with Baylor, Utah, Arizona, BYU and TCU ahead on the schedule. Oklahoma State: The Cowboys ran for 228 yards on 48 carries after averaging 124.5 yards rushing in their first six games. They seem to find success in one area or another each week, but can't put the elements together for interim coach Doug Meacham.
