A sophomore making his 11th college start, Robinson completed 24 of 34 passes for 302 yards. He also threw an interception.

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.

The loss capped an emotional year for the Hoosiers (7-6, 3-5 Big Ten), whose coach, Terry Hoeppner, died of complications 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.

In last year's Insight Bowl, Texas Tech staged the biggest bowl comeback in major-college history on the same field, rallying from a 38-7 third-quarter deficit to stun Minnesota 44-41 in overtime.

This time, the Cowboys sprinted to a 35-10 halftime lead and were never threatened.

The Cowboys spotted Indiana an early field goal, then scored touchdowns on their first five possessions.

Oklahoma State's attack didn't miss a beat without offensive coordinator Larry Fedora, who left for Southern Mississippi after the regular season. Coach Mike Gundy, their former offensive coordinator, took over the play-calling.

Most of the plays involved Robinson, a quick-footed product of Littleton, Colo. He carved up the Hoosiers with his arm and his legs.

In the first half, Robinson completed 15 of 20 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns and led Oklahoma State with 64 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
