PROVO, Utah – LJ Martin and Hinckley Ropati did the heavy lifting, combining for 67 yards on a BYU game-tying touchdown drive. Martin finished the drive with an eight-yard sprint around the right edge for his second TD of the night.

After forcing Oklahoma State into a missed field goal to open the second half, Martin’s 37 yards gave the sophomore running back 104 yards for the night. It is Martin’s first time crossing the 100-yard barrier as a Cougar.

BYU used the run game on all seven plays of the 69-yard scoring drive. Martin has averaged nearly seven yards per carry while scoring twice. After missing five weeks with an injury, he has four TDs in two games.

The Cougars have 198 yards rushing as a team compared to 219 for Oklahoma State.
