Arizona's Nick Foles showed he can put up big passing numbers even without his top receiving target.

What he needs, though, is some ground support.

Foles threw for 398 yards with Juron Criner, the Pac-10's top receiver a season ago, out following an appendectomy. It wasn't nearly enough as the Wildcats got throttled 37-14 by No. 9 Oklahoma State on Thursday night in a rematch of last year's Alamo Bowl.

"You have to be able to run the ball," Foles said. "We have running backs capable, we have the ability to run it and we'll figure it out. When we start to run the ball the passing game will open up even more. I feel confident in our passing game but we have to start running it better."

Keola Antonin had 22 yards rushing on 13 carries, including a 1-yard touchdown run during a stretch when Arizona (1-1) made five straight defensive stops to give itself a chance. The Wildcats totaled 41 yards on 21 carries after rushing for just 75 last week in their opening win over Northern Arizona.

"Until we run the football better, it is going to be hard to move forward like we want to," Arizona coach Mike Stoops said.

Brandon Weeden, who trailed only Foles in passing following Week 1, threw for 397 yards and two touchdowns to Justin Blackmon for Oklahoma State. He also benefited from the presence of Randle, who had 121 yards rushing and nine catches for 99 yards.
