SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Justin Blackmon caught two
touchdown passes, including a 71-yard strike, and No. 16 Oklahoma
State finished its first 11-win season with a 36-10 victory over Arizona
in the Alamo Bowl. Blackmon, the Biletnikoff Award winner as the
nation's top receiver, set an NCAA record with his 12th straight game
with at least 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. The sophomore
caught nine passes for 117 yards in perhaps his last college game.
Brandon Weeden was 25 of 41 for 240 yards for Oklahoma State (11-
2). Oklahoma State, which led the nation in total offense, never trailed
and scored at least 33 points for the 11th time in 2010. Arizona (7-6)
ended the year with five straight losses. Nick Foles completed 32 of 50
passes for 280 yards and a touchdown, but he threw three
interceptions, including one returned by Markelle Martin for a 62-yard
score. The Wildcats had their chances early. But six possessions
inside Oklahoma State territory in the first half resulted in just one
touchdown. After defensive stops by the Cats’ defense – which held
OSU to 72 yards rushing – UA handed it back enough times to spell
doom. Blackmon broked a Larry Fitzgerald record for the most
receiving yards by a sophomore on the game's biggest play. After
Arizona couldn't convert a fourth down at the Cowboys' 29-yard line on
its opening possession, Weeden found Blackmon practically
uncovered down the sideline for a 71-yard TD. Alex Zandejas' 42-yard
field goal in Q3 put Arizona back within two scores, and its only other
score came in the first quarter when Juron Criner caught a 5-yard
touchdown from Foles. A muffed punt after a defensive stop by the
Cats to open the game gave OSU a 26-yard field for the first score and
set the tone for the night. UA receiver David Douglas earned the bowl’s
Sportsmanship Award as the Cats’ outstanding player. The Cats,
strong all year with the pass rush, did not get a sack. Top RB Keola
Antolin was knocked from the game in the first series with a hit to the
head.
