Bailey’s FG lifts Oklahoma State to 38-35 win

Stillwater (AP)—For two teams trying to stay perfect on the season, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M sure made a lot of mistakes.

It came down to Jerrod Johnson making one too many for the Aggies.

Shaun Lewis intercepted Johnson’s pass in the final seconds and Dan Bailey kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to lift Oklahoma State to a 38-35 victory over Texas A&M on Thursday night.

Johnson turned the ball over five times, including a key fumble that led to a Cowboys touchdown in the fourth quarter and his fourth interception that Lewis returned 28 yards to set up the game-winner. The Cowboys (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) rallied from a 14-point deficit only to let Texas A&M (3-1, 0-1) do the same, and nearly win the game, too.

“It was just a very emotional game that had a number of mistakes,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said, “and we were able to capitalize on the last one.”

Johnson threw two touchdown passes in the final 5 1/2 minutes and had a chance to lead the Aggies on a winning drive of their own before he overthrew a pass into the arms of Lewis, who fell down at the 40-yard line with 16 seconds left. Oklahoma State picked up 17 yards on two plays before sending on Bailey.

The Cowboys flooded onto the field to celebrate their first three-game winning streak in a series that had been dominated by Texas A&M until recently. The Aggies had won 10 of the first 12 games between the teams following the creation of the Big 12.

“It was a roller coaster for sure. I thought maybe they were going to get a game-winning attempt,” said Bailey, who made the first winning kick of his career. “But our defense stepped up and made a big play and we got a chance to win it.”

Johnson threw for 409 yards and a career-best five touchdowns but it was his final pass in the meeting of surging Big 12 South rivals that likely will be remembered. In the process, he broke A&M’s career record for passing yards and Jeff Fuller set a new school record with his 20th touchdown catch.
