OSU: Report card

Offense: C

During the second half, the Cowboys managed only two Dan Bailey field goals. Three possessions stalled inside of the Baylor 5-yard line. Dez Bryant played at a high level, but his teammates were average. For only the second time in 18 games, OSU did not have a 100-yard rusher. Hunter bobbled an option pitch that was recovered by Baylor and led to the Bears' only touchdown.

Defense: A

For the second consecutive week, a strong performance by the OSU defense. Baylor finished with 204 total yards. On their third possession of the game, the Bears had a 10-play, 65-yard scoring drive. On their other 48 plays from scrimmage, the Bears netted only 139 yards (2.9 per snap). The Bears did not have a run from scrimmage of longer than 10 yards.

Special teams: B

Matt Fodge crushed a rugby-style punt that covered 58 yards. The ball rolled dead at the Baylor 14-yard line. Fodge also had a 44-yard punt that was not returned. A 60-yard Dez Bryant punt return, which would have been for a touchdown, was nullified when Orie Lemon was flagged for an illegal block. Perrish Cox popped a 36-yard kickoff return. Baylor's Mikail Baker entered as the nation's leading kickoff-return specialist at 35.8 yards per return. On six returns against the Cowboys, he did not have a return of longer than 25 yards. Following Baylor's only touchdown, OSU's Derek Burton blocked the extra-point kick. By BILL HAISTEN, World sports writer
