Sooners triumph on Jayhawks' errors

A sign at the entrance to Owen Field in Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium warns would-be trespassers that the field is monitored and an alarm will sound and the police called if anyone enters the field without proper authorization.
With 11 minutes to play in the second quarter, the Sooners probably thought about calling the police to evict the Kansas Jayhawks, who were intruding on the Sooner homecoming game and threatening to steal a victory.
The Jayhawks led 16-10 and had just recovered a fumble on the Oklahoma 28-yard line. The Jayhawks had been moving the ball well and were outgaining the Sooners high-powered offense.
But four plays later, the 'Hawks fumbled and Oklahoma recovered the ball.
At that point, Oklahoma regrouped and hand-cuffed the Jayhawks the rest of the game, dominating offensively and defensively and scoring 24 more points while holding the Jayhawks scoreless — pulling away for a 34-16 victory.
The Jayhawks committed seven turnovers in the game, and Kansas coach Terry Allen said the turnovers made the difference between winning and losing.
"Obviously, the turnovers were our demise." Allen said. "We had a chance. We did some good things defensively. Offensively we did some chances."
Junior wide receiver Harrison Hill had a good game, making a couple of nice catches along the sideline and finishing with eight receptions for 144 vards, both team highs for the game.
Allen said the Jayhawks knew they had to perform well offensively because of Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heuel's ability to move the ball.
"We thought we had to put some points on the board offensively." Allen said. "Because we knew defensively, even as well as we could play, that with Heupel back there, they were going to get theirs. The turnovers were our nemesis."
Allen said that as the Jayhawks missed opportunities and fell farther behind, the Sooners were able to concentrate on defending the pass.
"Eventually, they were able to just kind of strictly go to their zone-belt scheme," Allen said.
Sophomore defensive back Matt Jordan made his first start of the season. In an attempt to control Heupel, the Jayhawks used a nickel package — five defensive backs rather than four, with Jordan as the nickel back. Jordan said the 'Hawks used a nickel package almost the whole game.
"I just tried to make the best of my opportunity getting out there," he said. "They were pretty wide-open. We knew they were going to come out and pass."

Jonathan Beasley threw three first-half touchdown passes, and Kansas State (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) rolled to victory against Colorado (0-4, 0-1) Saturday. The Buffaloes only trailed 20-13 in the second quarter before the Wildcats scored three straight touchdowns to put the game out of reach. The final score was K-State 44, Colorado 21.
No. 1 Nebraska 42. Missouri 24
Colorado's highly recruited freshman quarterback Craig Ochs, who didn't want to take a redshirt year, replaced Bobby Pesavento in the second quarter. Ochs completed 15 of 24 attempts, gaining 208 yards with one touchdown pass and one interception.
Eric Crouch ran for 110 yards and a touchdown and threw two touchdown passes, helping the Cornhuskers (4-0, 1-0) hold off the Tigers (1-3, 0-1) Saturday night. Bobby Newcombe set a school record when he returned a punt 94 yards for a touchdown. Missouri gained 492 yards against the Cornhusker defense, but sophomore quarterback Kirk Farmer broke his collarbone late in the third quarter. Missouri kicked a field goal three plays after Farmer's injury, closing the gap to 35-24 but never recovered after Farmer left the game.
No. 13 Texas 42, Oklahoma State 7
Major Applewhite passed for 291 yards and three touchdowns, and Texas (3-1, 1-0) overwhelmed Oklahoma State (2-2, 0-1) Saturday afternoon. Longhorn wide receiver Roy Williams caught a 96-yard touchdown pass, and Kenny Hater yanked for 122 yards against the Cowboy defense, which previously had allowed the fewest rushing yards of any Division I A school — 30.3 per game. Oklahoma State trailed only 10-7 in the third quarter but faded down the stretch.
Texas A&M 33, Texas Tech 15
Texas A&M fullback Ja'Mar Toombs scored two touchdowns in the final seven minutes, breaking open a close game. The Aggies (3-1, 1-1) scored 20 points after Red Raider turnovers. Texas Tech (4-1, 0-1) came into the game ranked No. 11 nationally in passing, but Texas A&M intercepted three Red Raider passes. The Aggies also blocked a punt.
Iowa State 31. Baylor 17
Cyclone running back Ennis Haywood ran for 241 yards and two touchdowns, his fourth straight game with more than 100 yards. Iowa State (4-0, 1-0) led 31-3 at halftime, converting three Baylor turnovers into 17 first-half points. Baylor (2-2, 0-1) has now lost 14 consecutive Big 12 Conference games.
