B2 Sunday, October 22. 1995 The Manhattan Mercury SPORTS Kansas keeps rolling, 38-17 over Sooners Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. Mark Williams threw three touchdown passes and Dorian Brew made two huge interceptions as No. 7 Kansas overcame an early two-touchdown deficit and beat No. 15 Oklahoma 38-17, the Jayha wks' first victory in Norman since 1975.

Brew returned an interception 41 yards to set up a touchdown that tied the score at 14 midway through the third quarter. Then he picked off a deflected pass in the fourth quarter and brought it back 25 yards for a touchdown that made it 31-17. Kansas (7-0 overall, 3-0 Big EighO is off to its best start since 1968. Oklahoma (4-2-1, 1-2) is now 0-11-1 against Top 25 teams since beating Texas in September 1993. Jerald Moore ran for a career-high 219 yards and gave the Sooners their 14-0 lead with touchdown runs of 60 and 72 yards.

But he was held to 61 yards after gaining 158 in the first quarter. The Jayhawks, after being stung by Moore's long runs, took control with a patient ground game and accurate, timely passing by Williams. He had touchdown throws of 1, 6 and 4 yards and wound up 18 of 26 for 155 yards. Kansas, which failed to gain even 20 yards the first four times it got the ball, seemed to find its stride with a remarkable second-quarter drive that brought the Jayhawks within 14-7 at halftime. Starting at their 20, the Jayhawks used 22 plays and converted four fourth downs, including Williams' 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Hosea Friday.

The longest play of the 12-minute drive was the first a 14-yard run by June Henley, and 15 of the plays went for five yards or less.

The score was 17-all in the fourth quarter when Kansas drove 70 yards and scored on a 4-yard pass to tight end Jim Moore.

Brew's second interception return gave the Jayhawks a two-touchdown lead, and L.T. Levine added a short TD run in the fina.1 minute. Moore only touched the ball twice in the Sooners' first two series, and one of those was wiped out by a penalty.

We're going home 6-1; it could have been 7-0." As for the Cornhuskers' pass rush that ended up with a total of nine sacks for a negative 60 yards, Kavanagh said, "They're just relentless. They just keep coming, and coming, and coming." While the 'Cats did come back, Gastrins said, "That means nothing. We lost That's the bottom line." But the bottom line was also the fact that after Clyde Johnson scored on a blocked punt with 3:10 remaining to make it 42-23, Nebraska returned its starters to the field to finish the game. And they scored on a 12-yard pass to Ahman Green, who rushed for 109 yards and caught three passes for 41.

Nebraska quarterback Tommie Frazier attributed the 'Cats' come-backtoNU's lack of intensity. "They came ready to play in the second half, and we didn't," Frazier said. In assessing the Wildcats, NU coach Tom Osborne said, "I think this is a very good team. They're very good on defense and probably offensively, they're a decentteam." Frazier, who Snyder called "a difference maker" ended with 10 of 16 passing for 148 yards, plus rushed for 36 yards. Kansas State returns to action Saturday against Kansas in a 12:10 kickoff at KSU Stadium.

estate able to Continued from Page Bl the punt and it was recovered by Clyde Johnson for a Wildcat touchdown. Nebraska still held a comfortable lead at 42-25, but nevertheless on to the field trotted quarterbackTommie Frazier and members of the first-team offense. Osborne got the results he wanted as Frazier led the Huskers to another score on a 12-yard pass to Ahman Green. "I probably brought bur guys out too early," Osborne said. "I shouldn't have substituted so early.

I felt I had to put them back in." Frazier, a Heisman candidate who set an NU record Saturday with four passing touchdowns, agreed with Osborne's decision. "I didn't like coming back into the game," Frazier said. "Coach thought Ipnght to, and I had betteicome back in to." Miller hit on 10 of 24 passes for 109yards and Kavanagh 12of 22 for 136 yards. Most of Kavanagh 's play came againtNU reserves. KSU punter James Garcia threw, and completed, two fourth down passes of 18 yards to Deder-ick Kelly and 12 yards to Mario Smith for first downs.

Kevin Lockett now has nine TD receptions, which ties the school record of Greg Washington in 1988. Mitch Running had a career-high of 10 catches for 110 yards. He has now caught passes in 30 straight games, which is two shy of the record held by Frank Hernandez.

as good," Tomich said. "He likes to drop back in the pocket which gives us a chance to put pressure on him." Miller was sacked seven times and often hit the Memorial Stadium turf even after getting the pass off in time. "Their quarterback got hit a lot" Osborne said. "He did a good job of staying in there. That had to be unnerving for him." Frazier said the Wildcat defense played hard, but he couldn't say whether it was the toughest defense the Cornhuskers have faced this season.

"I go out and prepare myself whether we're playing the top defense or the last defense," Frazier said. By the end of the third quarter, the Husker defense had held Kansas State to 128 yards of offense, compared to NU's offensive output of 289 yards. Kansas State finished the game with 256 yards of total offense. Fogle was taken to the hospital for precautionary x-rays. Missing the game was KSU center Jason Johnson (arm) and receiverback Andre Anderson (unknown injury).

Associated Press AMES, Iowa In beating Iowa State 50-28, it might look like Colorado had an easy time. Far from it Iowa State threw a scare into the ninth-ranked Buffaloes, leading 28-27 in the fourth quarter Saturday before Colorado regrouped and won going away with three touchdowns and a field goal in the final 11:10. Coach Rick Neuheisel was delighted, especially after his team had been upset by Kansas 40-24 in its previous game. "I thought we did a nice job of rallying when the game got into question," said Neuheisel, who can now turn his attention to next Saturday's showdown with No. 2 Nebraska.

"We found ourselves, I'm hoping, as a team." Lendon Henry ran for three touchdowns and the defense added two scores as Colorado (6-1 overall, 2-1 Big Eight) defeated Iowa State for the 12th straight time and kept the Cyclones (2-5, 0-3) winless in their last 12 conference games. But Iowa State kept it interesting. The Cyclones rallied from a 27-10 halftime deficit to take the lead on Troy Davis' 45-yard touchdown run with 14:12 left Davis, who leads the nation in rushing, finished with 203 yards in 33 carries and three TDs. Cowboys beat Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. As the seconds ticked down on the end of Oklahoma State's marathon dry spell, one player found it hard to contain his emotions.

"I was screaming," senior offensive guard Scott Waterbury said after the Cowboys beat Missouri 30-26 Saturday in a battle to escape the Big Eight basement. "This is a feeling I just can't explain. "Nothing I could have prepared for could have been this great," he said. Andre Richardson ran for 171 yards and two touchdowns as Oklahoma State (2-5, 1-2 Big Eight) ended a 20-game conference winless streak, winning for the first time since a 27-21 victory over Iowa State Oct 24, 1992. It was the school's first conference victory on the road since a 25-17 victory over Iowa State in the 1990 finale.

Missouri (2-5, 0-3) appears headed for its 12th consecutive losing season, with three ranked opponents remaining on the schedule. Richardson, a sophomore backup, needed only 17 carries to Wildcats get volleyball win The Kansas State volleyball team upped its record to 16-5 by besting Missouri Saturday night 15-5) at Ahearn Field-house. "Everything I wanted to accomplish tonight was accomplished," said KSU coach Jim Moore. "We never did quit playing hard and never assumed we had the match in control. That is a good sign." The Lady 'Cats hit .370 with 42 kills in the match.

Toie Young led the team with 10 kills, while Jill Dugan added nine and Kate DeClerk chipped in eight. Young committed only one error in 17 attempts for .529 hitting percentage. With the win, Kansas State upped its Big 8 record to 3-3. K-State will prepare for another league game Wednesday, when they travel to Ames, Iowa to bat tle the Iowa State cyclones at 7:30 p.m. Nebraska has now won 27 straight games against KSU dating back to 1968.

The win was also NU's 28th straight on their home field against all opponents. Summing up the effort, KSU coach Bill Snyder said, "Every dog has its day and we didn't have ours." ABC's coverage included only 16 percent of the televisions in the United States. The game was shown in the Big Eight states, plus Texas, North Dakota and South Dakota. Snyder put to rest any questions about the quarterback position by saying, "Matt (Miller) is our No. 1 and Brian is our No.

2." Overall, Osborne was pleased with the performance of his defending national championship squad. "Anytime you win by three touchdowns, or whatever it was, you feel good about the effort We're happy to get out of here with a good, solid win. "When you're playing a good football team, and you can pull your first team out, you've got to be satisfied." Osborne rated the Wildcat defense as "good" and the offense as 'decent'" "That was a real good football team we beat," Osborne said. Jared Tomich, a junior outside linebacker for the Huskers, said the Big Red defense enjoyed playing the 'Cats. He said many of the teams Nebraska has faced this season feature quarterbacks who use two-step drops.

"With No. 6 (Matt Miller) if he plants his feet he's a good passer, but when he runs around he's not was a season low. Their previous low was 475 against Missouri. The Cornhuskers rushed for 190 yards, while their season average was 352. The $25 face-value tickets were being sold for between $65 and $85 prior to kickoff.

'Saturday's crowd of 76,072 was the largest for NU since 76,131 watched the Colorado game in 1994. It was NU's 206th straight sellout dating back to 1962. DeShawn Fogle suffered a head injury in the final minutes of the game, but Snyder said that he had feeling in his limbs when he was carted off the field. Snyder added, "I want to believe he's all right".
