Sooners await next test: Kansas
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Suddenly,
Oklahoma just can't win.
Trying to bounce back from the loss to traditional foe Texas, the Sooners came back with a solid effort against No. 7 Colorado. But it wasn't enough.
The Buffaloes fought into a 24-24 tie Saturday and — surprise! — the Kansas Jayhawks lead the Big Eight at 2-0. The Sooners and 9. Colorado are each 1-0-1 with Oklahoma going to Kansas on Saturday.
Mitch Berger kicked a 53-yard field goal on the last play of the game to get the tie for Colorado.
"In junior college, the only time I ever missed was when I wasn't nervous," Berger said. "I wasn't nervous on the first kick tonight, so I tried to make myself nervous, work up a few butterflies, for the one at the end."
In other Big Eight games, No. 22 Kansas pulled off an incredible rally to beat Iowa State 50-47, Oklahoma State stopped Missouri 28-26, and Kansas State suffered a disappointing 28-16 loss at Utah State.
No. 8 Nebraska did not play.
Koy Detmier gave Colorado a nuxed bag, Playing for the injured Kordell Stewart, Detmer completed 33 of 50 passes for 418 yards.
He also threw five interceptions and
lost two fumbles.
"I think I prevented us from winning," Detmer said. "I made some errors, and you can't have those kinds of mistakes in a game like this."
Oklahoma seemingly had the game in hand when it punted with 38 seconds left and was leading 24-21. Detmer completed a 23-yard pass to T.J. Cunningham to set up Berger's field goal.
"I felt like we played well enough to win," sooners coach Gary Gibbs said. "The most frustrating thing is every time we had a 10-point lead, we let them back without a struggle."
Kansas almost threw its season away.
The Jayhawks, needing to beat the weaker conference teams to vie for a bowl bid and playing Oklahoma next, pulled off the biggest rally in school history to defeat the Cyclones in Ames.
"How can so many things happen that we blow a 26-point lead?" Iowa State coach Jim Walden wondered. "Our mets don't deserve that."
Larry Thiel completed Kansas's amazing comeback by picking up a fumble by Iowa State quarterback Bob Utter and going 37 yards for a touchdown.
The Cyclones thought the play had
"Iowa State wasn't reacting," Thiel said. "I was jogging until I saw the referee running with me. I was going to let the officials call it."
been blown dead.
Kansas (5-1, 2-0) trailed by 26 points with about 17 minutes to play.
Quarterback Chip Hilleary rallied the Jayhawks, throwing two of his four touchdown passes in the game and running for another score to bring Kansas back.
Hillary threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Matt Gay with 6:28 remaining to bring Kansas within five. Iowa State (2-4, 0-2) had fumbled on its 40 to set up that score.
Thief's score plus a 2-point conversion gave the Jayhawks the final marzin. 50-47.
Iowa State had scored 40 straight points after falling behind 21-7 in the first quarter.
Missouri has two good quarterbacks and has not been able to settle on one of them.
Jeff Handy got his first start Saturday in Stillwater and set Big Eight passing records.
But the Tigers lost anyway.
"Big Eight records don't mean a thing when you lose 28-26," said Tigers offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.
Handy threw 43 times to break the league record of 35 set by Kansas' David Jaynes in 1973. Handy completed 73 passes, breaking Lynn Dickey's 1969 record of 61. Handy's 480 yards also was a record, breaking the mark first set by Mike Norseth of Kansas in 1985
It all left Phil Johnson, who had started every game this season, feeling a little bitter.
"The way I look at it, he didn't make any plays that I couldn't make," Johnson said. "There were a lot of open receivers, and I wish I had the chance to throw that many passes in a game. I haven't come near that in the other games."
Missouri coach Bob Stull apparently decided Tuesday to start Handy as the Tigers were off to a 1-4 and 0-1 start. Practices were closed during the week, and Handy and Johnson were told the decision Thursday.
"Jeff, he had a great day," Johnson said. "I'm happy for Jeff. But I wish I could have the same opportunities." Microsoft has adapted for Microsoft.
Handy threw two interceptions. Oklahoma State quarterback Gary Porter pierced the Tigers defense for 261 yards on 12 completions in 25 attempts after going zero-for-three the week before against Nebraska.
Nothing like a blocked field goal attempt sums up Missouri's football fortunes. Missouri blocked Lawson Vaughn's 31-yard attempt, but holder Scott Tyner picked up the ball and threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Derek Jones just before the end of the first half.
Missouri gained 497 yards and lost to the team that ranked 107th in total offense.
"I have never seen anything that weird before in my life," said Missouri receiver Victor Bailey.
K-State has some big regrouping to do.
The Wildcats were blown out by Kansas two weeks ago, lost to a weak Utah State and now must play at Colorado against the riled up Buffaloes.
"We're at the point right now where each individual has to self-evaluate and decide where we're headed," said cornerback Kaitlain Rawlings.
The Aggies blocked K-State's first punt on the Wildcats' 9-yard line and scored three plays later. Utah State returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the third quarter against K-State, now 3-2.
"Whatever criticism we get, we deserve every single bit of it," Wildcats coach Bill Snyder said.
Missouri QB OU linebacker earn player of week honors
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri quarterback Jeff Handy was named offensive player of the week in the Big Eight Conference after he broke two league pass records and tied a third in the Tigers' loss to Oklahoma State Saturday.
The Associated Press
Oklahoma linebacker Aubrey Beavers was named defensive player. Selections were announced yesterday.
Handy, a sophomore making his first start, set Big Eight records with 73 attempted passes and 43 completions and tied the Big Eight mark with 480 passing yards.
Handy was given the honor in a split vote over Kansas quarterback Chip Hilleary, who led the Jayhawks to an amazing comeback at Iowa State and went over 5,000 yards in total offense for his career.
Beavers caused a fumble and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown and had six tackles and two quarterback sacks.
