(UPI) Quarterback Thomas Lott rushed for 96 yards and three touchdowns in just 33 minutes of action Saturday to spur third-ranked Oklahoma to a 42-7 victory over Kansas State. Lott scored on runs of 3, 1, and 3 yards before departing with 12 minutes left in the third quarter after tallying his third touchdown to give Oklahoma a 28-0 lead.

Kenny King, who rushed for 99 yards before leaving with Lott, scored the first touchdown of the game on a 29- vard run at 11:18 of the first quarter and Oklahoma got two other touchdowns from backups, a 2-yard run by quarterback Dean Blevins and 55-yard run by halfback Freddie Nixon. The Oklahoma defense was brilliant in intercepting four passes, recovering a fumble and sacking Kansas State quarterbacks seven times. But the Sooners were deprived of a shutout when Kansas State corner back Homer Thomas returned an interception of a Blevins pass 53 yards with 6:25 left in the game. Oklahoma asserted its dominance in its first possession by driving 58 yards in six plays capped by King's run. King, who carried the ball three times in the drive for 46 yards, finished the first quarter with 60 yards and had 96 by the half.

The Sooners drive 66 yards again in six plays late in the first quarter before Lott's first touchdown. The junior quarterback rushed 16 yards in the third play of the drive, hit tight end Victor Hicks with a 38- yard pass on the next play and took it in from the three on the sixth play of the drive. Daryl Hunt set up only touchdown of the second quarter with an interception at the Kansas State 36 and a Mike Babb interception set up final score. The Sooners upped their record to 7-1, including 4-0 in the Big Eight, while Kansas State fell to 1-7 and 0-4. performance of our offensive team was the best it's been all said Coach Barry Switzer said after a 42-7 victory Saturday over Kansas State.

Cornhusker Quotes Compiled by Dave Sittler and Virgil Parker Cornerback Ted Harvey On OSU's 55-yard touchdown pass from Harold Bailoy to Gerald Bain missed the play. I was inside him and thought I was going to intercept the pass, But the ball hung up there and hung up there.

It's always great to get beat deep on national On his interception of a Bailey pass from OSU next offensive series "I wish I could have scored on that. It felt great after getting beat earlier. That and the win are the only reasons I'm smiling right now." Wingback Curtis Craig On his 82 yards rushing and 16-yard touchdown years ago down here, I got hurt early and played only three plays. So Coach Osborne told me today that I would have to play two games to make up for that one. I guess I did.

I thought on my long run (33 yards), my knee might have touched the ground, but I just kept running." Middle guard Kerry Weinmaster On Terry Miller "I think he's better than Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh's Heisman trophy winner last year) because Dorsett played against a bunch of teams that were duds and Miller plays against some of the best teams in the country right here in this conference. On Nebraska's defensive line shifting "That was a little something new. We overshifted and put the nose guard straight up on one of their guards. That was how we freed our linebackers." Defensive Tackle Kelvin Clark On his attempt to recover OSU's on-side kickoff "That was rough. Now I know what split ends go through.

I had the ball in my hands after catching it about head high. But I didn't have time to tuck it away before about ten guys hit me." Defensive Coordinator Lance Van Zandt On his feelings of coaching against OSU's Jim Stanley "He's a good coach and good friend. He gave me a job (Van Zandt coordinated the Cowboy defense in 1973 and 1974). But I wanted to beat him. Sometimes you want to win more against a friend than somebody you don't know.

I wished him good luck in the remaining games." Safety Larry Valasek "We had a good game plan today and we stuck to it. We tried not to stunt too much, but when we did it was effective. I think the key to stopping them was not giving up any long runs especially against a team like Oklahoma State with a great back like Terry Miller. Defensive end Tony Samuel On his interception of quarterback Randy Stephenson's third quarter pass "The tight end released to the inside and I went with him. I could read the quarterback all the way.

I was surprised he tried to throw it. It's been a long time since I've had an interception. That's my first at Nebraska." Quarterback Tom Sorley On his offensive player of the game award "It's a good feeling. I just don't know how to take it because there are ten other guys on the field who probably deserve more than I do." On Oklahoma State's defense 'They really stick you So we knew we had to go out there and get mean and nasty if we wanted to win. We're taking these games one- at-a-time now, that's the only way we'll reach our goal.

Taylor ......................5 82 0 Defense Linemen Cowboy Comments Compiled by Randy York Head Coach Jim Stanley "Nebraska played the best I've seen them play all year. Anyway you cut it, they looked awfully good and I didn't think we looked good at all, I don know what happened I thought we were as ready as we've ever been emotionally.

"Nebraska just whipped us up front. It was a good of running on their part and a poor job of tackling on our P3 "I don't think going for it on fourth down in the first quarter was a turning point. We made some devastating mistakes and we don't have any excuses." On comparing I Hipp with Terry Miller "I don think there is any comparison. Who's got the best blocking? Terry has to get a lot of yards on his own Hipp played well today. I thought Terry played hard and looked like a real winner.

I'm not in the comparison business though. I just know we didn't compare very well as a team." Back Terry Miller "Mr. Hipp will be a great back. He's got a good line ahead of him this year and you know with Nebraska's program, he's going to have a good one the next two years, too." Quarterback Harold Bailey "We didn't put the ball in the air nearly enough. Our game plan was to run right at them, but we were forced out of it.

I thought that fourth-and-three situation after Gregg Johnson's second interception was the turning point We were driving for the tieing score "I was frustrated I didn't get in a little sooner We iust decided to run more outside and open up their defense I never pitched to Terry Miller once because their corner- back was taking it away. "We're not out of everything, because we don plan on losing again. I think Nebraska will lose another game. Oklahoma could lose two, too. lowa State's gotta play us.

The champion could have two loses just like last year. Safety Gary Irions "If I had to pick a Big Eight champion right now, I say Oklahoma But we're ready tor them next week. And I think we can beat them. We did it last year and it sent us to a bowl game. We know we can do it again and I think we will.

"We can defense a wishbone better than we can defense a team like Nebraska This is a young team, but we've got some juniors and seniors who know it can be done." Cornerback Gregg Johnson "I'd like to think we could have capitalized a little more on my two interceptions and fumble recovery, but you've got to take the bitter with the sweet We could have beaten Nebraska, but we didn't. Now, we ve got Oklahoma, Missouri and lowa State left. We've got to pun together as a team." Defensive end Daria Butler "We just got whipped up front. That just can't happen. Nebraska is a good, balanced ball club in my opinion, they are the best team we've played so tar.

Offensive tackle Milt Hardaway "I was really impressed with Nebraska's nose guards (Kerry Weinmaster and Oudious Lee). It seemed like on sweeps we'd knock everyone down except one guy. Usually, that was the nose guard "At this stage, the Big Eight is anybody's ban game I'd have to give the edge toOU and ISU. Nebraska is going to come out with at least one more loss. "We made too many mistakes to stay with Nebraska today.

When we play OU here next Saturday, it's going to be a different story. We're going to play an errorless game and we're going to beat them.
