By Allan Davis sports@kanson.com Kanson sportwriter
Two of the three nationally ranked Big 12 Conference teams crushed lesser opponents, but there was a surprise in the second weekend of collegiate football play.
All the Big 12 North Division teams played non-conference games Saturday, and the conference finished the weekend at 4-2.

No. 8 Kansas State 54, Louisiana Tech 10
The Wildcats had little trouble against the Bulldogs and built a 31-10 halftime lead. Senior wide receiver Aaron Lockett ended the first quarter with a 55-yard run on a reverse, setting up a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Jonathan Beasley. Lockett also returned a fourth-quarter punt 69 yards for a touchdown.
Missouri 50. Western Illinois 20
Quarterback Kirk Farmer threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Missouri took advantage of Western Illinois' punting problems Saturday night. Missouri scored two touchdowns and a safety.
scored two tootty after botched Leatherneck punts. The Tigers blocked two punts, and a third sailed over the punter's head.
"We get the
We get the very best athletes on our team on special teams," said Missouri coach Larry Smith. "We're trying to involve as many receivers, defensive backs, linebackers that can run and hit."
Iowa State 25, Ohio 15
Running back Ennis Haywood rushed for 159 yards, including a 73-yard third-quarter touchdown run as the Cyclones built a 25-9 lead in the fourth quarter and held on for the win.
The Bobcats' triple-option offense briefly confused the Cyclones as Ohio scored on its first possession. Iowa State kickers missed two extra points and a field goal.
Colorado State 28, No. 23 Colorado 24
Colorado rallied from a second-quarter 14-0 deficit and took a 24-14 lead early in the third quarter behind backup quarterback Bobby Pesavento who came in after starter Zac Colvin bruised his right elbow.
However, with 10:31 to play, Rams quarterback Matt Newton connected with tight end Joseph Ochoa on a 30-yard scoring play that proved to be the winning touchdown. Newton threw four touchdown passes, and the Buffaloes' secondary gave up four big passing plays that led to all 28 Rams points.

Hill returns to practice after illness
Wide receiver Harrison Hill has been cleared to practice for the first time since suffering from chronic dehydration problems.
Hill said part of the problem was that his body temperature always was above 99 degrees. Doctors cleared him to play again but have urged him to change his diet.
Hill was expected to be an integral part of the offense until he was forced out of most preseason practices and the season opener Saturday. However, he said he thought he was ready to play again — for good.
"I know I can." he said. "I'm back. I'm not going to miss anymore games."
Starting left guard Kyle Grady, who suffered an injury to his kneecap Tuesday, missed practice yesterday and is listed as day-to-day. Coach Terry Allen said it was likely that he would play in next Saturday's game against Alabama-Birmingham.
