Nebraska turnovers help Longhorns
Cornhuskers fall to Texas for third time in the 1990s
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, TN — The Texas hex continues for Nebraska.
"We knew it wouldn't do any good to do any talking before the game."
After hearing the Cornhuskers talk for a week about avenging a home loss to Texas a year ago, Major Applewhite threw for two second-half touchdowns Saturday and rallied the 18th-ranked Longhorns to a 24-20 victory.
"We knew it was important to do our talking on the field," Applewhite said.
Texas (6-2, 3-1 Big 12) has won three straight against No. 3 Nebraska (6-1, 3-1) since the merger of the Big Eight and Southwest conferences before
the 1996 season. Texas is the only team to beat Nebraska three times in the '90s.
The loss seriously damages Nebraska's bid for the national championship, and it dropped the Cornhuskers a game behind Kansas State in the North Division race for a berth in the Big 12 title game.
"You can say we're jinxed, have bad luck, but we just have to eliminate mistakes," said Dan Alexander, who led Nebraska in rushing with 136 vards on 21 carries.
Texas and Nebraska aren't scheduled to meet again in the regular season until 2002. The teams could play again in the Big 12 championship game in December.
"If we're good enough," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "There's a chance we'll see them again.
Nebraska led 2017 after quarterback Eric Crouch's 9-yard touchdown run with 7:52 left to play before Applewhite drove Texas 60 yards in four plays for the winning score.
with a 39-yard pass to the Nebraska 21, Applewhite found tight end Mike Jones in the flat. Jones broke three tackles, including one at the goal line, in completing a 17-yard scoring play.
His 13-yard strike to Kwame Cavil in the third quarter gave Texas a 17-13 lead.

Applewhite was 9-of-21 for 47 yards in the first half as Nebraska built a 13-13 lead. He was 8-of-9 in the second half for 166 yards.
"I played like I was in Pop Warner in the first half. It's just a matter of getting into a rhythm," Applewhite said.
Nebraska outgained Texas 429-275 but turned the ball over three times, including a fumble by running back Correll Buckhalter at the Texas 1 that
cost the Huskers a fourth-quarter touchdown.
Crouch passed for 204 yards, but was held to 35 yards rushing on 17 carries in the option.
Nebraska scored on three straight possessions in the second quarter on Josh Brown's two field goals of 22 and 32 yards and Buckhalter's five-yard run with 45 seconds left.
The turnovers were dramatic; very,very costly," Nebraska coach Frank Solich said.
With Texas forced to punt into a stiff wind, two of the Cornhuskers' scoring drives started at the Longhorns' 17 and 31.
Chris Robertson pulled Texas with in 13-10 four plays later on a one-yard run, his six touchdown this season on just 12 carries.
After Jones' touchdown, Nebraska drove to the Texas 38 on its final possession but turned the ball over on downs.
Texas was able to run out the final 2:15 because the Huskers had already used all their timeouts.
Cowboys crumble under Wildcats' pressure
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. — Kansas State had been here before, going nowhere and trailing by 21 points.
This time, the seventh-ranked Wildcats didn't need David Allen in coming back and beating Oklahoma State 44-21 on Saturday.
Kansas State did it with unflinching persistence on defense and big pass plays by quarterback Jonathon Beasley.
conference victory.
Oklahoma State (3-3, 1-2), inspired by the return of injured quarterback Tony Lindsay, built a 21-0 lead in the first 17 minutes.
"You have got to give them credit," defensive coordinator Phil Bennett said. "They had us on our heels. Our kids didn't lose faith in our ability to make adjustments. Once we made them, we could take the game under control. And we did."
Beasley threw for 311 yards, completing 13-of-25, as the Wildcats (7,0-4 Big 12) scored their 20th straight
But the Cowboys crumbled under the steady pressure of a Wildcats
defense that allowed only 60 yards in the second half and snagged four interceptions.
"I thought that we really started this game off executing our game plan." Oklahoma State coach Bob Simmons said. "We started out fast and we did hit a brick wall, and they got their momentum going."

It was an unflappable Beasley who led the steady second-quarter come-
His 56-yard pass to George Williams with 12:15 to go in the second quarter put the Wildcats in position, and Beasley capped the drive with a 1-yard run.
A fumble ended Oklahoma State's next possession, and the Wildcats took control at the Cowboys 17. Beasley found Quincy Morgan open in the left corner of the end zone for a 17-vard score.
And that was the turning point.
And that was the turning point.
Kansas State tied it just before half-time on Beasley's 35-yard pass to Aaron Lockett.
Beasley threw a 58-yard pass in a fourth-quarter drive that he topped with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Lockett. He added a 32-yard touchdown pass to Williams a few minutes later.
"I felt comfortable as the game went
on," Beasley said. "The line was blocking well, and the passes were falling in place."
The Wildcats rolled up 520 yards with the help of 192-pound Joe Hall, who rushed for 112 yards on 27 carries.
With 13:24 to go in the second quarter, Lindsay faked short and then threw a 24-yard pass to Ethan Howell for a touchdown.
Kansas State followed an interception by Dyshod Carter with a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter to move ahead 24-12. Beasley added a 19-yard touchdown run in the Wildcat's next drive.
The game moved out of range with 9:28 remaining on Beasley's 14-yard touchdown pass to Lockett.
The Wildcats had another interception seconds later, which Kansas State turned into its sixth touchdown.
