J.D. King steps up for Justice Hill

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – It could have been a nightmare scenario for Oklahoma State when starting running back Justice Hill left the game with an injury early in the first quarter on the road against West Virginia.

Freshman backup J.D. King stepped up in his place. King wound up setting career highs with 36 rushes and 142 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown run that gave the No. 11 Cowboys (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) a 23-3 lead in the second quarter en route to a 50-39 victory.
