Postgame Notes

  • Jason Taylor II picked off his sixth pass of the season in the second quarter, furthering his case for the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award. He moved into a tie for the ninth most interceptions by a single player in a season in school history, and the most since Justin Gilbert had seven in 2013.
  • With interceptions against Iowa State, Oklahoma and West Virginia, Taylor became the fourth OSU player since 2000 to record an interception in three consecutive games, and the first since A.J. Green did it in 2017.
  • Tanner Brown improved his case for the Lou Groza Award converting field goals of 22 and 38 yards. Brown is now 21-for-22 on field goal attempts this season and extended his streak of consecutive PATs made to 76.
  • With starting running back Dominic Richardson unavailable, Ollie Gordon and Deondre Jackson set career highs in attempts and rushing yards against West Virginia. Gordon totaled 17 carries for 136 yards, while Jackson recorded 56 yards on 12 rushes.
  • Gordon became the first Cowboy freshman to rush for 100 yards since Dominic Richardson against Baylor on Dec. 12, 2020.
  • OSU’s 180 rushing yards as a team is the second most in a game this season, only behind the 197 yards the Cowboys racked up on the ground against Arizona State.
