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.
