BYU 38, Oklahoma State 35
Can you say "instant classic?"
Cougar fans will be talking about this game for years to come, and for good reason. What occurred Friday night at LaVell Edwards Stadium was truly one of the most unbelievable showings in BYU program history .
The Cougar defense had its worst outing of the season, being gashed for 421 total yards and 7.3 yards per carry. The offense committed three turnovers, with a second-string running back even coughing up an interception. Jake Retzlaff completed just 13 passes, and BYU trailed by four points in the contest's final moments.
But there's just something special about this 2024 campaign.
It what you could call magic, a miracle or whatever else comes to mind, a desperate Retzlaff fired a dart to Darius Lassiter, who somehow escaped every nearby defender and arrived in the end zone for an epic go-ahead touchdown.
The play is already forever cemented in BYU lore . Students in attendance will someday tell the dramatic tale to their future posterity.
The Cougars remain unbeaten with the victory, moving to 7-0 and continuing their charge on the Big 12 championship.

BYU 38, Oklahoma State 35
0:10— Pandemonium in Provo.
Needing a miracle, Jake Retzlaff connected with Darius Lassiter for a 35-yard touchdown to pull ahead with 10 seconds remaining. BYU 38, Oklahoma State 35.
Should BYU stop the Cowboys here, the Cougars would escape with a win in one of the most improbable finishes in recent program memory.
1:13— Oklahoma State is back on top.
The Cowboys scored the go-ahead touchdown to cap a 17-play, 76-yard drive that burned more than eight minutes off the clock. Oklahoma State 35, BYU 31.
Jake Retzlaff and the Cougars now have 73 seconds left to try going 75 yards to steal a win.
9:39— Will Ferrin puts the Cougars back ahead with a 41-yard field goal. BYU 31, Oklahoma State 28.
14:50— Oklahoma State ties it up with some trickery, with quarterback Alan Bowman catching a double pass and scampering 16 yards into the end zone. BYU 28, Oklahoma State 28.
BYU 28, Oklahoma State 21
3:43— Jake Retzlaff's first pass of the second half was a good one.
After 10 straight run plays out of halftime, Retzlaff connected with Keelan Marion for a 34-yard go-ahead touchdown to send the LaVell Edwards Stadium faithful into a frenzy. BYU 28, Oklahoma State 21.
The Cougars, who trailed by seven points at the half, now lead by a touchdown with just under 19 minutes left to play.
5:44— BYU's defense plays hero once again.
Alan Bowman's first pass of the possession bounced off his receiver's hands and right to Tommy Prassas for an interception, giving the Cougars the ball back at Oklahoma State's 44-yard line. BYU 21, Oklahoma State 21.
Prassas is now the 10th different BYU defender with an interception this season.
5:51— Tie ballgame.
It's a two touchdown night for LJ Martin , who scored from eight yards out to even the count at 21 points apiece. BYU 21, Oklahoma State 21.
Jake Retzlaff remained in the game at quarterback but has yet to throw a pass since halftime, with the Cougars running seven times for 69 yards on the drive.
BYU has carried the ball 26 times for 198 yards thus far, good for an average of 7.6 yards per attempt.
Oklahoma State 21, BYU 14
It's time to see how well BYU responds to adversity.
The Cougars suffered arguably their most frustrating half of the season, trailing 21-14 after committing three turnovers and letting Ollie Gordon run all over them for more than 10 yards per touch.
There could be plenty of drama down the stretch. Oklahoma State quarterback Garret Rangel was knocked out of the game with an injury, and BYU's Jake Retzlaff appeared to hurt himself on the final play before halftime, with his status for the rest of the night still unclear.
The Cowboys will receive the second half kickoff, with the Cougars looking to overcome the deficit and keep their unbeaten run alive.
Oklahoma State 21, BYU 14
0:00— Jake Retzlaff closes out the first half with his second interception of the night. Oklahoma State 21, BYU 14.
Retzlaff appeared to be nursing his shoulder after attempting a tackle on the interception return, creating a bit of drama for the Cougars in the game's final 30 minutes.
0:32— It's a hat trick for Ollie Gordon.
Gordon ran into the end zone for the third time tonight, putting the Cowboys ahead for the first time all night. Oklahoma State 21, BYU 14.
It's not all good news for the Cowboys, however. Quarterback Garret Rangel — who's ran for 77 yards already tonight — left the game with an apparent shoulder injury and has been replaced under center by the recently-benched veteran Alan Bowman.
3:44— Jake Retzlaff's first mistake of the night just came at an inopportune time.
Trying to force something downfield, Retzlaff's sideline throw was intercepted by Korie Black, who returned the pick 17 yards to the Oklahoma State 24-yard line. BYU 14, Oklahoma State 14.
Retzlaff has now thrown six interceptions on the season.
7:55— The Cougars just don't have an answer for Ollie Gordon.
Oklahoma State's talented running back caught a pass in the flat uncovered and sprinted up the sideline, hurdling BYU safety Faletau Satuala before reaching the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown. BYU 14, Oklahoma State 14.
Gordon now has seven career touchdowns against the Cougars in less than two games worth of action.
14:03— Tanner Wall's pick six attempt may have come up short, but LJ Martin finished the job with a 1-yard touchdown to put the Cougars ahead by a score. BYU 14, Oklahoma State 7.
14:05— Another week, another interception for Tanner Wall.
BYU's free safety picked off an errant Garret Rangel pass and returned it 47 yards all the way to the goal line, nearly earning a pick-six but still providing a massive momentum swing for the Cougars. BYU 7, Oklahoma State 7.
Wall now has interceptions in consecutive weeks, grabbing his first career pick this past Saturday against Arizona.
BYU 7, Oklahoma State 7
0:00— The Cougars' bag of tricks has backfired on them.
Hinckley Ropati took a toss and attempted a halfback pass, only to offer a poor throw that was intercepted by Parker Robertson. BYU 7, Oklahoma State 7.
The Cowboys will now open the second quarter taking over at their own 20-yard line.
9:42— Ollie Gordon ran for 166 yards and five touchdowns against BYU last season, and he's wasting no time in his current effort to torment the Cougars.
The Doak Walker Award candidate broke free for a 50-yard dash into the end zone on the Cowboys' first possession to knot this game up at seven points apiece. BYU 7, Oklahoma State 0.
Gordon's run marks the longest play allowed by BYU's defense all season.
11:57— BYU has stormed right out of the gate.
Jake Retzlaff gave the Cougars an early lead on their opening possession, rushing for a 4-yard touchdown to cap a 6-play, 75-yard drive. BYU 7, Oklahoma State 0.
BYU picked up 50 yards on the game's first play thanks to a deep shot from Retzlaff to Darius Lassiter, who beat double coverage to make a diving grab and immediately put the Cougars on the verge of the red zone.
BYU's late night matchup with Oklahoma State will be televised on ESPN and can also be streamed on the ESPN app.
