Oklahoma State capped a disappointing season with a dramatic 38-33 win over Missouri in Liberty Bowl on New Year’s Eve.

OSU ended the year with a winning 7-6 record with the win over Tigers, a former member of the Big 12 Conference who bolted for the Southeastern Conference.

Fifth-year senior quarterback Taylor Cornelius tied a Liberty Bowl record with four touchdown passes against MU.

“(It was) like a lot of games that we play in our conference,” said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. “As I said on the press conference a few days ago, Missouri would fit right in. It ended up being somewhat of a shootout, and the defense made a play at the end.”

With one minute left in the game, Missouri (8-5) faced fourth-and-1 when quarterback Drew Lock attempted a keeper around the right end. OSU’s Kolby Peel made an ankle tackle that stopped Lock short of the first-down marker.

“It’s a game of inches, we all talk about it and know it,” Missouri coach Barry Odom said. “I wouldn’t want the ball in anybody else’s hand besides No. 3 for the Mizzou Tigers (Lock).”

Oklahoma State (7-6) led 35-19 heading into the fourth quarter. The win snapped Missouri’s four-game winning streak.

Cornelius, a former walk-on, went 26 of 44 with four touchdown passes and two interceptions that fueled Missouri’s comeback try. Both interceptions led to Missouri touchdowns.

Cornelius finished the season with seven 300-yard passing games to tie for third- most by an OSU player in school history. His seven career 300-yard games are also the third-most in OSU history.

With four touchdown passes, Cornelius set a new Oklahoma State single game bowl record. Missouri had not allowed more than three passing touchdowns to any opponent this season prior to today’s game.

Cornelius’ 336 passing yards pushed him to 3,978, marking the fifth-most productive single-season yardage total by a quarterback in OSU history.

Oklahoma State will have a new starting quarterback following the departure of Cornelius. The Cowboys must replace leading tackler Justin Phillips and have major graduation losses on the defensive line.

Against Missouri, Oklahoma State’s offense was missing leading rusher Justice Hill and guard Larry Williams, who sat out the bowl game to prepare for the NFL draft. OSU lost starting cornerbacks Rodarius Williams and Kemah Siverand to targeting penalties — Williams in the first quarter and Siverand early in the fourth period — and safety Malcolm Rodriguez to a second-quarter injury.

Chuba Hubbard rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown for Oklahoma State. Tyron Johnson had seven catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns.

Tylan Wallace hauled in seven passes for 83 yards to finish his sophomore season with 1,491 receiving yards.

Missouri’s Larry Rountree III ran for 204 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown. Missouri’s Johnathon Johnson had nine catches for 185 yards, including an 86-yard score. Lock was 23 of 38 for 373 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

OSU has had a winning record for the 13th straight season, extending the longest such streak in school history. The Cowboys are 6-1 in its past seven games vs. opponents ranked in the top 25 of the A.P. poll. This year, OSU has beaten four teams ranked in the Top 25.

After the bowl game, OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich announced he was leaving to become passing game coordinator/quarterback coach at Ohio State. It has been reported he will get a $150,000 a year raise (to $950,000). Yurcich is from Euclid, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb.

“I am really excited to announce that Mike is joining the Ohio State staff,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said in a statement. “Mike is not only an Ohioan coming home, but he is also an extremely talented coach who has enjoyed success throughout his career. His Oklahoma State offenses have been among the most proficient in college football and I look forward to welcoming and introducing Mike and his family to our staff, players and community.”

Gundy hired Yurcich in 2013 from Shippensburg University, an NCAA Division II school in Pennsylvania. OSU’s offenses ranked 45th in 2013 and 76th in 2014 but improved in the last four seasons for 26th, 12th, 5th and 15th. Oklahoma State was one of only 10 teams to average 500 yards per game this year.

“We hit a homer with Mike,” Gundy said. “We went and got him because I felt like if we had gone and gotten a name guy, in two years, he would’ve left again because that is what was happening to us. We bring a guy in, we average 50 points a game and the guy leaves. I was tired of dealing with that, so I said surely they won’t want a guy from Shippensburg for a few years. Honestly, it’s worked out great. It’s worked out really good for Mike and it’s worked out really good for us.”

Several names have surfaced as possible replacements, including OSU offensive line coach Josh Henson.
