(9-2, 5-2) 29-28 Saturday in Manhattan.
Nebraska's Kevun
Nebraska's Keyuo Craver returned a blocked punt 12 yards for a touchdown early in the first quarter, but the Wildcat defense stymied the Cornhusher offense for most of the game allowing only 105 total yards in the first three quarters.
The 'Huskers finally got their power-running attack going in the fourth quarter. Running back Dan Alexander began finding holes in the K-State defense, and Nebraska quickly rallied from a 23-14 deficit to a 28-23 lead with 9:53 remaining in the game.
However, K-State's Jonathan Beasley con
nected with wide receiver Quincy Morgan for a 12-yard touchdown, putting the Wildcats ahead 29-28 with 2:32 left in the game. The Wildcats attempted a two-point conversion but were unsuccessful.
Nebraska had two more possessions before the end of the game but was unable to capitalize on either.

3-4) and a snowstorm in Boulder, Colo., and came away with a 35-27 win.
The Buffalooes had four turnovers, including a lost fumble at the Iowa State 10-yard line with 149 to play.

Texas Tech is bow eligible. Because of its 12- game schedule, it needed seven wins to qualify.

Jayhawk ice hockey club flogs hapless Shockers

The Kansas club ice hockey team celebrated Saturday after pummeling Wichita State 9-0 at the Ice Midwest Arena in Overland Park.
Not even a delayed start time of 11 p.m. could stop Kansas' multifaceted game plan.
The Jayhawks displayed consistency on offense and defense, scoring three goals per period, and goalkeepers Matt McSorley, St. Louis freshman, and Elliot Botten, Plymouth, Minn., sohomore, collaborated for a shutout.
"This win helps our confidence as we prepare to go on the road," said Tim McShane, Milwaukee senior.
The depth of the Jayhawk squad made up for lack of support at the arena. While keeping the puck near the Shockers' goal for nearly the entire game, six different Kansas players scored goals in the game including Matt Clark, Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, who scored three for a hat trick.
Amir Shah, St. Louis sophomore, had two goals while Tyler Brookfield, Fairway senior captain Brian Luhman, Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, Ryan Rutzick, Hopkins, Minn., freshman and Daniel Saillier, Overland Park junior, each scored a goal.
Defensively, the Jayhawks held Wichita State to only a handful of shots on goal with the efforts of Brookfield, Luhman, McShane and Jeff Engel, St. Louis junior, and Richard Garnett, St. Louis sophomore. Coach Bruce Bamlett said he was
Coach Bruce Bamlett ne he was pleased with the team's overall effort.
we had a great game from the goalies and the defense tonight," said Bamlett. "Wichita State is a rivalry for some of our players from Wichita."
Coach Bamlett also said he was glad the Kansas scoring fest provided playing time for all members of the squad.
While Wichita State may not have provided stiff competition for the Jayhawks, McShane jokingly used the game as a measuring stick to last year's Kansas victory.
"Last year we only beat them 6-0, so I guess we are improving," McShane said.
While they enjoy playing at the brand new Ice Midwest Arena in Overland Park, some members of the team said a home arena in Lawrence would be beneficial.
"It would be nice if Ice Midwest was in Lawrence," said McShane. "We would get more support there."
The Hawks will travel to Chicago next weekend to take on Robert Morris College in their third contest of the season.

Defense produces early but can't knock out 'Horns

If the Texas-Kansas football game on Saturday had been a boxing match, it could be said the Jayhawks knocked the Longhorns down twice in the first round.
Kansas jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first five minutes of the game and the defense helped the Jayhawks gain that early lead, putting nine points on the board against Texas.
Two Jayhawk defensive backs returned interceptions for scores Saturday. Junior cornerback Andrew Davison picked off a pass in the first quarter and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown, giving the Jayhawks a 14-0 lead.
Davison said he was able to tell by watching where Texas quarterback Chris Simms was going to throw the ball.
I just made a good read on it," Davison said. "The quarterback was looking at the receiver all day. I just looked at his eyes off the snap and broke on the ball and made a play off of it."
Senior free safety Carl Nesmith scored the other two points after the Longhorns had scored a touchdown, closing the gap to 14.9, and decided to go for a two-point conversion.
However, Nesmith had a different idea. He snagged the attempted two-point conversion pass in the end zone and returned it more than 100 vards for two points for the Jayhawks.
Nesmith said the Jayhawks weren't expecting a two-point conversion attempt but adjusted in time.
"We were coming out for a (extra point kick) block," Nesmith said. "We didn't know that they
were going for two. We just yelled out a play, and the quarterback broke contain. He was rolling out, looking for someone to throw to, and I just was trying to read him a little bit. I was going one way and he threw it the other way, so that's why I only caught it with one hand. I just saw linemen in front of me and I (ran) down the field. I had fun. That was my first touchdown ever playing here." At that point, the Joukhuws led 169.
However, the Longhorns survived the early knockdowns, got off the canvas, and when the match was done, Texas had won on points 51-16. It was a unanimous decision. Even Kansas coach Terry Allen agreed the Jayhawks had been beaten.
"It was a tough one," Allen said. "We had some chances. We had some opportunities. We got the early lead and made a few plays. When we had a chance to slow them down a little bit, maybe get some momentum going our way, they came up and made plays against us. It was a pretty tough go out there because it was such an emotional roller coaster that happened throughout the first half."
After Nesmith's interception return made the score 16-9, Texas exploited chinks in the Jayhawk defense's armor the rest of the game, rolling up 396 yards rushing and 241 passing — a total of 637 yards.
Nesmith came up with another interception and said it was the result of a mistake by Simms.
"I think it was really a bad throw from the quarterback more than me reading." Nesmith said. "I was just playing my house, and he just threw it in my house, and I just saw it coming and went and got it."
