Stanford has not trailed in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl, thanks to its ability to answer every time Oklahoma State pull back even with the Cardinal. After Cowboys wide receiver Justin Blackmon caught his Fiesta Bowl record-tying third touchdown pass, the Cardinal marched down the field with a 13-play, 69-yard drive that gobbled up more than seven minutes of clock and gave Stanford a 38-31 lead.
But the four minutes left on the clock proved more than enough for Oklahoma State, which needed less than two minutes to drive the field for the game-tying score, 38-38. Joseph Randle scored the touchdown on the ground. The Cowboys set up the touchdown with an enormous fourth-down conversion on their own half of the field earlier in the drive.
