Iowa State 3	Oklahoma 17

The Sooners still aren't up to the task versus the Cyclones.  Remember
two years ago in Norman?  ISU stunned OU with a 4th quarter rally to
beat them 33-31.  It almost happened again this year.  Luckily for
the Sooners, OU had Gundy.  In his second best outing, he had 333yds
with 21-28 passing.  ISU moved the ball 46yds for their first score
of a 27yd FG.  OU responded in the 2nd quarter with a FG of their own
to tie it at 3-all at the half.  OU started the 2nd half by fumbling
inside ISU's 5.  But then OU held ISU and marched down field for 75yds
and a TD, which included a pass interference call on 3rd-n-8.  Coach
Walden said, "When a guy falls down in front of a guy and he falls over
him, I used to think that was not pass interference.   It broke my heart
to see that."  But ISU had two big chances in the 4thQ.  ISU recovered
a fumbled punt at OU's 26.  But OU's defense held and ISU missed the FG.
Then OU fumbled again on their next possession in which ISU returned it
to OU's 20.  But Utter was intercepted on a 4th-n-4 from OU's 14.  ISU
had held OU to only 27yds rushing and 47yds thru 4quarters.  But ISU left
the passing game open for OU.

Missouri 44	Marshall 21

Mizzou blasted out in this game.  Finding Freeman as their tailback
who tied the school record with 4 rushing TDs in 90yds on 18carries.
He almost doubled his production on the ground, coming into the game
with 102yds.  Freeman credited the line with opening huge holes 
allowing him into the secondary.  Johnson was the QB for this game
and did a fine job, but Stull still won't make him the starter over
Handy(both have been splitting time).  MU's 641 total yds is one of
their best(665 over KU in 1949 is the record) games.  This also broke
MU's 8-game losing streak.  Bailey dislocated his thumb, but not after
catching 8passes for 134yds(his second straight 100+yd receiving game).
Jacke's 3FGs puts him 2nd on MU's FG kicking list with 33....11 behind
Tom Whelihan(1984-87).  Marshall's coach said this is the worst game by
his team.

Oklahoma State 11	Texas Christian 13

Quick notes by Teresa:
Once again, the Oklahoma State defense didn't play all that badly. I would
have to say that the weakest spot for the pokes is at the corners, where
the pokes give a lot of cushion on every play. Teams are going to be able
to gain some yardage on them, but the defense seems to come up with the
big play to stop their opponents, at least early in the game. TCU played the
entire first quarter with their backs against their own goal line.

For TCU, they alternated the QB's on every posession in the first half
between Leon Clay and Knackey (pronounced Knock-EEE), and then stuck with
Knackey in the second half. Knackey, too his credit, did not play like the
freshman that he is, but had his success against an Oklahoma State defense
that once again had to spend the entire game on the field due to the lack
of offense.

Oklahoma State gave Gary Porter the surprise start, and Andy Loveland did
not play at all at QB. Porter, looked like a true freshman. He was sacked
10 times, a number so large that I have trouble giving the TCU defense
credit for it. Porter seemed oblivious to any other that his primary receiver,
and when the rush got close, rather than lofting the ball out of bounds, would
duck his head and run backards, turning a 5 yard sack into a 15 yard loss.
I haven't seen any stats on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he lost at
least 100 yards on sacks and I bet the number is closer to 150 yards.

Denson continues to impress me this year. Despite the fact that Oklahoma State
never established the passing game, and the fact that TCU was controlling the
line of scrimmage defensively, he gained 96 yards on 18 carries, most of
it on his own. I would say that he continues to be the only bright spot in
am otherwise dismal offense, but I believe that the receiving corps of 
Milliner,Culver, Cheatwood, and Copeland (TE) to be a pretty decent 
assortment, just unproven due to the lack of a quality starting QB.

I have to give Pat Jones credit for the fake field goal that went for a TD
as well as the following 2 point conversion. Late in the fourth quarter,
trailing by 2, Oklahoma State was in long field goal range, but Porter
was sacked for a 15 yard loss, thus removing the possibility...

Kansas St 19	New Mexico State 0

KSU won their 6th game in a row.  But folks, KSU is looking pretty
damn bad on the offensive side of the ball.  One bright spot is
that KSU finally scored in the 3rd Q.  But NMSU had let other teams
score big:WeberSt 21, UTEP 24, NMex 39 and UtahSt 48.  But KSU did
have 355yds.  The defense was good.  NMSU only broke the KSU 30 once.
NMSU made it to KSU's 2 before they got hammered.  NMSU was only down
12-0 with a 1st-n-goal at the 2.  KSU stopped them for a no gainer.
Then sacked the QB for a 9yd loss, then an incomplete pass.  Then came
the icing, on NMSU's 29FG attempt, the holder couldn't handle the snap
and KSU recovered it at the 36.  NMSU's AD wants out of next year's
game with KSU.  So far there isn't any word one way or the other about
it.  Jamie Mendez intercepted another one for 5 in the last two games.
Synder unhappy with Smargiasso, finally benched him in the 4th for Garber.
