Filed under: Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Big 12STILLWATER, Okla. -- The series between Texas A&M and Oklahoma State has been anything but predictable in recent years.
The two Big 12 South foes kept it going late Thursday night with OSU holding on for a wild 38-35 league-opening win that wasn't decided until place-kicker Dan Bailey's 40-yard field goal went through the uprights as time expired at Boone Pickens Stadium.
"It was intense," said Bailey. "It's one of those moments you practice for, and you jut approach it like it is any other kick and just put it through the uprights."
Bailey's game-winning field goal capped a night in which the Cowboys scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to rally from a 14-point halftime deficit only to allow A&M to score 14 straight late in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 35-35 with 2:54 remaining.
But the Cowboys were able to capitalize on Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson's fourth interception (his fifth turnover of the night) in the waning seconds of the game. Three plays after true freshman linebacker Shaun Lewis picked off Johnson with 16 seconds left, Bailey booted the game-winning field goal.
