TEMPE, Ariz. — Back in September, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy made headlines by ranting "I'm a man!"

But Zac Robinson is the man for the Cowboys.

Robinson threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores, leading Oklahoma State to a 49-33 Insight Bowl victory over Indiana last night. A sophomore making his 11th college start, Robinson piloted a near-flawless attack in the first half as the Cowboys scored touchdowns on their first five possessions.

"In our preparation, we knew what they were going to line up in pretty much every time," Robinson said. "It was just executing and not turning the ball over."

Robinson completed 24 of 34 passes for 302 yards, and threw an interception. He also ran for 70 yards.

"We talked about jumping on them early and getting off to a quick start," Robinson said. "We knew they would be hungry and fired up to play."

Dantrell Savage ran for 100 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys (7-6, 4-4 Big 12), who matched their season-high point total. Dez Bryant caught nine passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns.

The loss capped an emotional year for the Hoosiers (7-6, 3-5 Big Ten), whose coach, Terry Hoeppner, died of complications of a brain tumor in June. Kellen Lewis passed for 204 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 83 yards and another touchdown for the Hoosiers in their first postseason appearance since 1993.

"We came here to win and play it to the end, and so we did," Indiana coach Bill Lynch said. "I was proud of our kids about that."
