Chiefs find Arrowhead magic in overtime win
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Steve Bono did his best Joe Montana imitation. Tamarick Vanover did the rest.
Vanover, a rookie who played in the Canadian Football League last season after leaving Florida State early, returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown 7:27 into overtime Monday night, giving the Kansas City Chiefs a 29-23 victory over the San Diego Chargers
The Chiefs, who won their third overtime game this season, had tied the score with 15 seconds left on a 78-yard drive engineered by Bono, who had understudied for Montana in Kansas City and San Francisco.
An 18-yard pass to Derrick Walker, followed by Lin Elliott's extra point, forced the fifth overtime game this weekend — an NFL record.
Then Neil Smith came alive in overtime, twice sacking Gale Gilbert, who replaced the injured Stan Humphries at quarterback for San Diego. After the second, Darren Bennett punted, and Vanover, who could have made a fair catch, grabbed the ball at the 14, evaded three Chargers tacklers and broke left around the wall.
He broke free about his own 35, evaded Bennett at the San Diego 40 and sailed into the end zone in an electrifying sprint for his second touchdown — he had a 90-yard kickoff return for a score against Seattle.
"I'm feeling joy right now." Vanover said. "I've been waiting all my life, I've been waiting all my life."
Kansas City raised its record to 5-1, tying for the best mark in the NFL with Dallas and Oakland.
John Carney kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:12 left, giving the Chargers (3-3) a seemingly safe 23-16 lead. Just over three minutes earlier, Humphries had put San Diego ahead 20-16 with a 4-yard touchdown toss to Shannon Mitchell.
But Bono, who was 27 of 41 for 329 yards, drove the Chiefs 79 yards in eight plays in just 51 seconds with no timeouts, finding Walker from 18 yards out in the end zone for
a tie with 15 seconds left.
It was a Montana-like drive, with Bono hitting Lake Dawson for 27 yards on the sideline and eventually finding Webster Slaughter for 16 to the San Diego 23.
Humphries, who left at the end of regulation with a bruised right shoulder, was 24 of 34 for 315 yards and continually made big third-down plays, including a 44-yard pass to Ronnie Harmon that set up Carney's field goal.
The score was 13-13 at the half, and the teams played through a scoreless third quarter before Elliott's 49-yard field goal 2:41 into the fourth gave the Chiefs a 16-13 lead.
But the Chargers came back, stumbling a bit but moving the ball.
On third-and-8 on his 28, Humphries scrambled for 13 yards, then the Chargers got a first down on third-and-13 when the Chiefs' James Hasty was called for illegal contact.
Then, on a first down from the Kansas City 49, Humphries found Shawn Jefferson behind Dale Carter, and he took it to the 4. On first down, he rolled out and flipped to Mitchell, the backup tight end, for the touchdown.
The game's first five possessions resulted in scores, and Andre Coleman, San Diego's kick returner, set up the only two touchdowns in the half.
Coleman's 54-yard return set up the Chargers on the Chiefs' 37 and led to Natrone Means' 2-yard touchdown run that gave the Chargers a 10-3 lead 3:36 into the second period. But after Elliott cut it to 10-6 with a 21-yard, Coleman fumbled at his 22 on the return and Martin Bayless recovered, setting up Bono's 1-yard touchdown pass to Kimble Anders that made it 13-10.
The Chiefs seemed set for another score when Raylee Johnson sacked Bono and forced a fumble that Shawn Lee recovered at the Chargers' 30. That led to the drive that ended with Carney's 36-yard field goal. The kick came after a 15-yard face-mask call on Hasty put San Diego in field-goal range.
Women's golf stays consistent
For the second time this season Jayhawks place fifth overall; all members finish in top 45
Kansan staff report
The Kansas women's golf team tied its best finish of the season, placing fifth yesterday at the 13-team Lady Buckeye Fall Invitational in Columbus. Ohio.
The Jayhawks shot a three-round total of 986 and finished 56 strokes behind tournament champion Indiana. Overall, the team shot its best three-round score of the season.
Kansas freshman Mandy Munsch was the team's leader, with
rounds of 80, 81 and 77. She finished eighth. It was Munsch's best showing of her collegiate career and her third consecutive top-25 showing. She has led the team in scoring in two of four collegiate tournaments.
Senior Lynn Williamson, juniors Anne Clark and Missy Russell, and sophomores Beth Reuter and Lori Lauritzen finished in the top 45 for the second time this season.
Clark and Russell finished in the tournament's top 25. Clark shot rounds of 81, 83 and 81 and tied for 20th. Her three-round total of 245 matched her previous best fall finish.
Russell was close behind, with a three-round total of 249. She tied for 24th place. She shot a first-round team low of 78 but ended the second round with an 89. Her third-round total of 82 allowed her to finish in the top 25.
Reuter shot a 257, tying for 35th place.
Williamson, the only senior on the team, shot rounds of 84, 91 and 86 and finished with a 261, which was good enough for a 41-place tie.
Lauritsen finished 43rd, with a three-round total of 262.
The Jayhawks now have a week of rest before they resume play next Monday and Tuesday at the Sunflower/Marilyn Smith Invitational in Wichita.
