STILLWATER, Okla., Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Dan Bailey kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired Thursday to give No. 24 Oklahoma State a wild 38-35 victory over Texas A&M.
Texas A&M took a 21-7 halftime lead, gave up 28 straight points in the second half and then scored twice in the final 5:19 to forge a 35-35 tie. All five Texas A&M touchdowns came on passes thrown by Jerrod Johnson.
After Johnson hit Ryan Swope for their second scoring connection of the game to tie it with 2:54 remaining, the Aggies got the ball back on a punt and moved to their own 46-yard line with 26 seconds left.
Johnson was then intercepted by Shaun Lewis, who returned it 28 yards to the Texas A&M 40.
The Cowboys reached the Aggies' 23-yard line before calling a time out with 2 seconds to play and Bailey came on for the game-winning kick.
Kendall Hunter ran for 101 yards and two third-quarter touchdowns for Oklahoma State, which improved to 4-0 and won its Big 12 Conference opener.
Texas A&M (3-1, 0-1) outgained the Cowboys by 184 yards and had the ball for 17 minutes more than did Oklahoma State.
