Oklahoma State Is Riding High at 6-0

Tony Lindsay threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Alonzo Mayes with 1:56 left to give No. 20 Oklahoma State a 33-29 victory over No. 24 Colorado Saturday night at Stillwater, Okla.

Colorado (2-3 overall, 0-2 in the Big 12) seemed to be in good shape after recovering a fumble at the Buffaloes’ seven with 3:52 left, leading 29-26.

But on third down, John Hessler’s overthrown pass was intercepted by Maurice Simpson at the Colorado 23. Two plays later, Lindsay hit the 6-foot-7 Mayes with a looping pass for the game-winner.

The Buffaloes drove to the Oklahoma State 46 on their final drive, but a last-second pass fell incomplete.

The Cowboys are 6-0 for the first time since 1945. Oklahoma State (3-0 Big 12) had lost nine consecutive games to Colorado.

No. 3 Nebraska 49, Baylor 21--Ahman Green scored four touchdowns and rushed for 158 yards as the Cornhuskers overwhelmed the Bears at Waco, Texas.

Green, unfazed by the occasional rain and slick artificial turf, scored on runs of three, 58, two, and 30 yards as the nation’s top-ranked offense had its way with the NCAA’s 94th-rated defense.

Nebraska is 5-0 and 2-0. Baylor fell to 1-4 and 0-2.

No. 15 Texas A&M; 56, Iowa State 17--Sirr Parker scored on an 80-yard run and a 78-yard kickoff to lead the Aggies at College Station, Texas.

Texas A&M; (5-0, 2-0) scored three touchdowns in the first quarter and added three more in the second, building a 42-10 lead and amassing 386 yards in the first half alone.

The Cyclones (0-6, 0-3) lost their 13th consecutive game, the longest current losing streak in Division I-A.

No. 22 Kansas State 41, Missouri 11--Michael Bishop rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns and threw a 44-yard touchdown pass as the Wildcats rebounded from last week’s loss to Nebraska at Manhattan, Kan.

Bishop carried 14 times and consistently found big holes up the middle as he set a Kansas State (4-1, 1-1) record for rushing yardage by a quarterback.

Missouri (3-3, 1-2) lost its fifth consecutive game to Kansas State and has lost 19 in a row to ranked teams.

Texas 27, Oklahoma 24--Ricky Williams ran a school-record 40 times for 223 yards and two touchdowns and Bryan White caught a 19-yard touchdown pass, allowing the Longhorns to hold off the Sooners at Dallas despite 291 yards and three touchdowns from De’Mond Parker.

Williams had the fourth-highest yardage total in school history. Two weeks ago he put up the No. 2 mark, 249 yards against Rice.

The Longhorns are 3-2 and 1-1. Oklahoma is 2-4 and 0-2.

Texas Tech 17, Kansas 7--Freshman Ricky Williams rushed for 179 yards to lead the Red Raiders at Lubbock, Texas.

Texas Tech (3-2, 2-0) finished with 365 yards, 223 rushing.

Kansas (4-2, 2-1) averted a shutout when cornerback Jamie Harris intercepted Rob Peters’ pass and returned it 64 yards for a touchdown.
