WHILE WE WERE OUT
Manhattan — Ell Roberson will have to wait to find out whether his up-and-down performance Saturday night was good enough to earn him another start as Kansas State's quarterback.
Roberson came off the bench to throw one touchdown pass and run for another score to lead the 25th-ranked Wildcats past No.11 Southern California 27-20 Saturday night.
Kansas State QB's
Roberson also fumbled twice, giving the Trojans one touchdown and denying Kansas State (4-0) a game-clinching TD late in the game.
performance wavers
Coach Bill Snyder wasn't ready to proclaim Roberson, who started nine games last year, his starter for the Wildcats' Big 12 opener at Colorado on Oct.5.
"As of right now, he's one of our quarterbacks," said Snyder, who graded Roberson's performance "somewhere between average and C-minus."
Baylor win extends longest losing streak
Waco, Texas Baylor will take any victory it can get, even over one of the worst teams in college football.
Aaron Karas passed for a touchdown and ran for another Saturday as the Bears held on to beat the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 37-25 to stretch the nation's longest losing streak to 14 games in a row.
Karas set up two touchdowns with pinpoint passes to Reggie Newhouse, sneaked 2 yards for a TD and found Marques Roberts with a 51-yard scoring strike.
"A win anytime is big," said Baylor coach Kevin Steele. "They
are hard to come by. A lot of negatives have swirled around us, but we're going to stay positive. We're not going to stick our heads in the sand. We can turn negatives of the past into positives."
Pasadena, Calif. — Colorado stewed for a full week after being humiliated by one Los Angeles school. Then, the Buffalooes took out their anger and frustration on the other.
Colorado upsets No.20 UCLA squad
Chris Brown gained 188 yards on 26 carries and scored three touchdowns Saturday as Colorado upset No. 20 UCLA 31-17 to snap the Bruins' nine-game winning streak against nonconference opponents.
Playing without starting quarterback Craig Ochs, the Buffaloes were held to four first downs and 61 yards of total offense in a 40-3 loss to No. 11 Southern California last weekend — their most lopsided loss in 10 years and most one-sided loss at home since 1985.
"At least this week, I'm not going to go home and kick my dog." Colorado coach Gary Barnett said. "I can't compare USC and UCLA because last week our team didn't show up. It's hard to get your guys up to play a team that showed on film the way we showed."
Knee injury dashes shot at NFL record
Foxboro, Mass. — Troy Brown had a shot at the NFL record for receptions in a game before a shot to his knee put him out for most of the fourth quarter and overtime.
"I didn't get the record. We won the game," Brown said after catching 16 passes for 176 yards in the New England Patriots' 41-38 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. "So that's even better."
The haul was a personal best for Brown and a franchise record for the Patriots, topping the 13 catches Terry Glenn caught against Cleveland in 1999. The NFL record is 20, by Terrell Owens against Chicago in 2000.
"Troy makes the offense go," Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said. "It's like: When in doubt, give it to Troy. There's no mystery about that."
Chiefs' autopsy shows high blood alcohol
Independence, Mo — Former NFL linebacker Wayne Simmons, who died last month in a one-car accident, had a blood alcohol level more than twice the state's legal limit at the time of the crash.
The Jackson County Medical Examiner said Simmons had a blood alcohol level of 19 percent when he was killed Aug.23 in an accident on Interstate 70 near Independence. Missouri's legal limit is .08 percent.
The autopsy report says Simmons died of blunt head and neck injury.
Simmons was a 1993 firstround pick out of Clemson who won a Super Bowl ring with the 1996 Green Bay Packers. Green Bay traded Simmons to Kansas City after the sixth game of the 1997 season.
Jimmie Johnson ties Winston Cup record
Dover, Del. Jimmie Johnson held off a late rush by points leader Mark Martin and tied the Winston Cup record for victories by a rookie when he got his third of the season Sunday at Dover International Speedway.
The 27-year-old Californian matched Tony Stewart's 1999 mark for wins by a first-year driver. He also became the first driver since Stewart in 2000 to sweep the races on The Monster Mile, where Johnson won in June.
Although he qualified 19th, Johnson won the $3.9 million MBNA All-American Heroes 400 by a half-second over Martin for the eighth sweep in track history.
"These races are won by teamwork," Johnson said. "The top four cars were so equal."

Yeah, this is in response to the "chasing a dream article." DJ, dude, I'm sorry, but you're not that talented. Besides, basketball is not a three-pointer game. Shoot, Boschee could've told you that. As for Stephen, man, not only do you have the talent, but you've got the looks. 'Cause everybody knows that Roy recruits the hotties. So good luck with that and make Lawrence High proud.
being a pool boy and the fake Jeff Boschee or whatever. Well, what about fake Drew Gooden? Have you seen this guy on campus? He thinks he is, he's wearing jerseys all the time, pretty sure he thinks he's Drew Gooden. Well, Drew Gooden is in the NBA. Get over it, buddy.
Everyone keeps talking about Jeff Boschee

you planning to attend this season?
They don't let umbrellas into Memorial Stadium because they obstruct people's views, not because they are weapons. And oh yeah, Johnny Beck, if you're gonna have Big Time Leg on your license plate, you should probably be able to make an extra point.
you planning to attend this season?
OK. I won the Kick the Kansan football contest in the paper last week. I won a radio contest this week, and I just found out yesterday I'm going to be on TV's One on One trivia. I am a multimedia superstar.
