Brandon Weeden threw five touchdowns passes, three of which ignited a second-half rally that boosted No. 22 Oklahoma State to a 54-28 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette on Friday night.
Weeden hit Michael Harrison for a 24-yard score and Hubert Anylam for a 22-yard touchdown in the first nine minutes of the third quarter as the Cowboys (5-0) scored 24 points in the third quarter to take the lead for good.
The Ragin’ Cajuns (2-3) had taken a 21-17 halftime lead on two touchdown passes by Chris Masson in the final 4:35, but Oklahoma State scored seven plays into the second half on Kendall Hunter’s 1-yard run. One play after the ensuing kickoff, Andrew McGee intercepted a pass by Masson and Weeden hit Harrison five plays later for a 31-21 lead.
Dan Bailey had three of his four field goals in the second half and had two 52-yarders in the game.
Weeden was 29 of 47 for 351 yards and the five scores, while Justin Blackmon had a career-high 13 catches for 190 yards and two touchdowns and Kendall Hunter rushed for 126 yards and one TD for the Cowboys.
