Clint Chelf threw three of Oklahoma State's five touchdown passes and the Cowboys shook off a disappointing Big 12 finish by dominating Purdue 58-14 in the Heart of Dallas Bowl on Tuesday. The Cowboys, a year removed from a Fiesta Bowl win that capped the best season in school history, forced five turnovers and had another short touchdown drive after a 64-yard punt return from Josh Stewart. Get the AP recap, video and Tom Dienhart?s Snap Reactions in this post.

The rout was Oklahoma State's biggest bowl win since coach Mike Gundy was the quarterback in a 62-14 rout of Wyoming in the 1988 Holiday Bowl.

Here are Dienhart?s Snap Reactions:

1. Without a doubt, this was the worst bowl game in Purdue history. The Boilermakers never were in this game from the moment they got off the bus, not looking particularly dialed in to the goings-on-save for a few players like end Ryan Russell. And it showed in just about every facet of the game, as Purdue trailed 45-0 and 58-7 at two points today en route to committing five turnovers. The Darrell Hazell era can?t start soon enough in West Lafayette.

2. Robert Marve deserved to go out better after being the focal point of the Boilermakers? late-season charge that saw them win their last three games to become bowl eligible. And Marve did all of that playing on a bum left knee in his sixth season of eligibility. He hit 21-of-34 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and ran for 19 yards

3. The Purdue defense entered the season with so much hype-but was a flop all season. So, why should today have been any different vs. an Oklahoma State that was using its third-string quarterback? The Boilermakers allowed 524 yards, with 311 coming through the air. Bottom line: The Pokes did whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. It really was that simple in a game most every pundit felt would be a colossal mismatch-and was. Oklahoma State apparently was upset about falling all the way to the Heart of Dallas Bowl after finishing third in the Big 12. The Cowboys are a very good team that deserved better. At least they didn?t pout about their bowl position and played hard-and very well, too.
