COLLEGE STATION - Zac Robinson threw two touchdown passes and No. 15 Oklahoma State overcame the absence of their top two playmakers to beat Texas A&M 36-31 on Saturday.
The Cowboys (4-1, 1-0 Big 12) played without All-America receiver Dez Bryant, who was ruled ineligible by the school this week for lying to the NCAA about contact he made with a former NFL player. Oklahoma State was also missing Kendall Hunter, the Big 12's leading rusher in 2008, who sat out with an ankle injury.
Robinson completed 14 of 25 passes for 279 yards, Keith Toston ran for 130 yards and Beau Johnson ran for two scores as the Cowboys won at Kyle Field for only the second time since 1983.
Jerrod Johnson threw three touchdown passes for the Aggies (3-2, 0-1) and set a Big 12 record by extending his streak of consecutive passes without an interception to 228. But Johnson faced constant pressure and the Aggies, who came in with the nation's second-ranked offense, were held to 382 yards.
Leading 29-25 early in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys put it away with a 16-play, 93-yard touchdown drive that chewed up almost eight minutes.

Ooh, burnt orange...hisssss....
I think most of the Aggies football team has forgotten they have a team. I think at the very least some of them forget which days they have games. The Horns are looking pretty good this year, and I think they will remain undefeated and play for the national title. Their only hurdle will be in the Big 12 Championship, if somehow Nebraska can win the North and play to their potential. I don;t even see that as a major threat. The only other way I can see them missing out on the big game is if everything falls exactly the Aggies' way on Thanksgiving Day. I swear I will never watch another college football game if Randy Chrystal officiates that game.
Florida and Texas would be a dandy. But Florida's work is far from done.
As for the vote, what if no other candidate wears burnt orange? Can I at least get a sympathy vote?

You want my vote then you better put on some burnt orange. \m/
Thanks for the post though, I forgot the Aggies had a football team.
October 26, 2009 at 10:41 a.m.Was there no story on A&M's win in Lubbock Saturday (first since 1993)? Maybe I just don't know where to look. I am out of town, so I can't pick up a print edition.
