- Kansas junior running back June Henley, who tallied 49 yards on the day, broke the 2,000 yard barrier for his career. He became the 74th running back in Big Eight Conference history to achieve this mark.
KANSAS FOOTBALL NOTES & QUOTES
■ Henley on his career accomplishment: "I just think it's great. I'm glad that they gave me the opportunity as a freshman to come out here. I just thank God that he gave me the ability to do what I can."
The Kansas defense saw its streak of not allowing a rushing touchdown for 17 quarters come to an end when Houston tailback Aaron Bluitt scored on a one-yard run at the end of the third quarter.
backer Keith Rodgers on the rushing touchdown: "I was really upset — physically upset — that they scored because I take a lot of pride in the fact that we hadn't let anybody in the end zone on the ground."
Kansas senior outside line-
- The blocked punt by Kansas sophomore Eric Galbreath was the first by the Jayhawks since the 1991 game against Nebraska. The ensuing safety was the first one since the 1993 Oklahoma game.
Kansas senior punter Darrin Simmons, who was ranked No. 1 nationally heading into the game, booted a career-long punt of 62 yards.
Kansas senior running back L.T. Levine had his fifth 100-yard rushing game of his career. It was the first time he has ever accomplished
Levine on the Houston defense: "I give them a lot of credit. They came in here and did a good job against us. I'm just happy we got the win."
Two other Jayhawks also had career highs — junior wide receiver Isaac Byrd's seven receptions and senior quarterback Mark Williams' 71 rushing yards.
this in back-to-back games.
Saturday's game was the first time Houston led at halftime in its last nine games and also marked the team's first half without giving up a touchdown dating back to its 16-0 loss to Missouri, which was 10 games ago.
Houston football coach Kim Helton on the loss: "We're a building program with players who want to compete. I'm
mad, the coaches are mad,
but we can't fault the kids'
effort. There's no positives in
not winning, but there is
honor is how they played."
Houston senior defensive end Carlos Chester on the game's ending: "We came out defensively and played pretty good. The interception is part of the game. We've got to overcome that though. This is most definitely our hardest loss of the season."
Houston, which is now 0-4, also has been defeated by Florida, Louisiana Tech and Southern California.

Big Eight goes 7-1 during weekend
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On a weekend when Kansas State outscored Nebraska, it was up to Colorado and Oklahoma State to prove not every football truism has been turned on its head.
The No. 4 Buffalooes reminded the rest of the Big Eight Conference of the importance of quarterback depth.
Record-breaking passer Koy Detmer hurt in the first quarter? No problem. Just run backup John Hessler onto the field and let him engineer a 29-21 victory against a No. 9 Texas A&M squad that was unbeaten and at the time ranked No. 3.
Hessler entered the game after Detmer injured his right knee in the first quarter and ran for two touchdowns and passed for one in what Colorado football coach Rick Neiheulis called an unbelievable victory.
"For (Hessler) to come into a game like this and perform like he did ... was just spectacular." Neuheiul said of the redshirt sophomore who'd never thrown a pass before this season.
Colorado officials said yesterday Detmer would miss this week's game at Oklahoma, but beyond that, his status was uncertain.
Jayhawks join Wildcats in top 25
Oklahoma State reaffirmed the value of being home. The Cowboys were the only Big Eight team on the road Saturday and the only one that lost. In a battle of the Cowboys, Oklahoma State ventured to Wyoming, which scored on five of its first six possessions and rolled to a 45-25 victory.
Staying home, No. 2 Nebraska, whose players seem to be getting restless for a challenge, swamped Pacific 49-7.
Nebraska has outscored Oklahoma State, Michigan State. Arizona State and Pacific 240-66 and has gained at least 666 total yards in every game.
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It's happened in basketball so many times, people have lost count.
But never before have Kansas and Kansas State been ranked in The Associated Press football poll at the same time — until this week.
K-State (3-0), which swanped the University of Akron 67-0 on Saturday night, moved up to No. 16. And Kansas (4-0), which may be the luckiest unbeaten team in the United States, took claim on the 25th spot this week after beating the University of Houston 20-13.
K-State was unranked in the preseason poll but entered the top 25 after defeating Temple 34-7 in its season opener. The Wildcats went from 19th to 16th with the crushing of Akron.
Kansas had to work harder. The Jayhawks, unbeaten in their first four games for the first time since 1981, climbed into the poll after Houston failed to get off a play from the Kansas 4-yard line as time ran out.
Kansas also has defeated the University of Cincinnati 23-18, North Texas 27-10 and Texas Christian 38-20.
"Should we be ranked?"
Kansas junior tight end Jim Moore asked after defeating Houston. "We're 4-0. I guess that's about all I have to say about it. It doesn't really matter. At this point, honestly, it doesn't matter to me."
Jason Thoren, whose interception set up Kansas' go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter, said, "If they want to rank us, they can. I don't think anybody here is concerned."
"I think we're really due for a challenge now from someone who can come in here and at least give us a go," Nebraska senior quarterback Tommie Frazier said. "That's all this team can really ask for."
Pacific finished with 60 yards
rushing and only 197 yards overall.
"I don't know if there's such a thing as a perfect college football team, but they're about as close as you can come." Pacific tailback Joe Abdullah said.
At Norman, Okla., No. 10 Oklahoma led only 17-10 at halftime, then exploded for 34 second-half
points and romped past North Texas 51-10.
At Ames, Iowa, Troy Davis, the nation's leading rusher, broke his own Iowa State record by carrying 36 times for 302 yards in the Cyclones' 57-30 victory against Nevada-Las Vegas.
Iowa State's Davis carried 36 times for 302 yards in less than three quarters and tied a school record by scoring five touchdowns. He broke the school record of 291 yards he set in the season-opener against Ohio.
"You can't say enough about Troy Davis, Iowa State football coach Dan McCarney said. "He's consistent. He's tough. He's one of the classiest kids I've ever been
around in my life. It's an honor for me to be in this program and get a chance to coach that young man every day."
At Manhattan, Bill Snyder tied Mike Ahearn for the most victories by a Kansas State coach and apologized for the way his No. 16 Wildcats annihilated hapless Akron 67-0.
Matt Miller threw a schoolrecord three touchdown passes in the first quarter for K-State as Snyder hiked his record to 39-31-1 in his seventh season. Ahearn was 39-12 from 1905 to 1910, but he rarely whipped anybody as bad as the Wildcats whipped the Zips. In fact, it was K-State's biggest rout since a 75-0 sack of Drury in 1910.
Snyder visited the Zips' locker room after the game.
"I went in there to encourage their players to listen to their coaches, because they are headed in the right direction," Snyder said. "I told the seniors I felt sorry for them, because they won't be around to see the results of their work. But they are headed in the right direction."
At Columbia, Mo., there were no apologies from Missouri football coach Larry Smith about the way his team won. The Tigers (2-2) got 222 rushing yards from Brock Olivo had to had to weather a rally before dispatching underdog Northeast Louisiana 31-22.
"I don't care how it looked," Smith said. "We had to fight and scratch, but we got the job done. So I'm not going to make any excuses for anybody."
Northeast Louisiana (1-3) is in its second year in Division I A-I and was coming off a 66-14 loss at Colorado. But the visitors got within 28-22 with 11:21 left, Olivo, who had three first-half touchdowns, had the third-greatest rushing total in school history.
Chiefs' winning streak blasted by Byner
CLEVELAND — In another time, under other circumstances, Kansas City Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer would have been proud of Earnest Byner. Not yesterday.
The Associated Press
Schottenheimer was on the opposite sideline when Byner ran for one touchdown and caught a short pass for another as the Cleveland Browns handed the Chiefs their first loss, 35-17.
Testaverde also threw a 4-yard scoring pass to Andre Rison in the third quarter — Rison's first touchdown reception in
terback Vinny Testaverde for the clinching score with 10 minutes to play.
Byner spun 7 yards up the middle for a touchdown on Cleveland's second drive of the game, then caught a 3-yard pass from Cleveland quar-
four games with the Browns (3-1), who made him the highest-paid receiver in the NFL by signing him to a five-year. $17 million contract.
The Browns added two quick touchdowns on defense just 19 seconds apart late in the fourth quarter. Gerald Dixon stepped in front of Steve Bono's pass and returned it 18 yards for a score with 4:45 left, and Mike Caldwell duplicated that with a 24-yard interception return before the Cleveland Stadium crowd had time to catch its breath.
Kansas City (3-1) was trying to go 4-0 for the first time in franchise history. Schottenheimer dropped to 0-2-1 in three trips back to Cleveland since he left to coach Kansas City in 1989.
Testaverte became one of 10 active passers to surpass 20,000 career yards passing, completing
The Chiefs, meantime, were stung by the loss of running back Marcus Allen on their first offensive play of the game. Allen was cut over the left eye on a 3-yard rush, and he watched the rest of the game from the bench with his eye badly swollen.
Lin Elliott kicked a 25-yard field goal late in the second quarter, pulling Kansas City to 7-3 at the half, and Bono threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Keith Cash that closed it to 21-10 midway through the fourth quarter. Bono added a 3-yard touchdown pass to Webster Slaughter with 14 seconds to play.
21 of 35 for 204 yards without an interception. He entered the game as the AFC's top-ranked passer, and through four games, he now has thrown for eight touchdowns with only one interception.
The 33-year-old Byner has been used mostly in third-down situations since returning to the Brown's from Washington last year. But he was much more versatile than that yesterday, catching seven passes for 59 yards and rushing nine times for 38 yards.
Bono, who had been picked off only once in the previous three games, was 29 of 49 for 272 yards. Cash caught eight passes for 111 yards.
But Byner was also the culprit in one of the biggest disappointments of Schottenheimer's career. His fumble at the goal line stopped Cleveland's last-gasp drive for a tying touchdown in a loss to Denver in the AFC Championship Game after the 1987 season.
It was Schottenheimer who first gave Byner a chance to make it in the NFL after Cleveland drafted him in the 10th round in 1984. The next year — Schottenheimer's first full season as the Brown's head coach — Byner rushed for 1,002 yards, the first of his three career 1,000-yard seasons.
