He also returned a fumble 53 yards, made three tackles and deflected a pass to go along with his five punt returns and fumble recovery that all set up an Oklahoma State score against SMU. He made three solo tackles, forced a fumble and deflected a pass against Iowa State before leaving the game with a broken right forearm, which forced him to miss the next three contests against Colorado, Texas A&M and Missouri.
