Colorado 25	Kansas 18

What an up and down game.  Colorado jumps out quickly with a 14-0
lead and seemingly in control.  It started when Hilleary's screen
pass was tipped and intercepted for a TD.  The next CU TD was setup
by a 15yd punt.  KU closed the gap to 17-7 by halftime along with 
the news that Nebraska had lost to Iowa St.  KU poured it on in
the 3rd quarter with 11 unanswered points for a 18-17 lead.  But
the 4th quarter belonged to the Buffs.  Colorado held Kansas to
just 2 1st downs.  CU also missed a FG early in the 4th.  But finally
drove in from 42yds out setup by a 29punt and 15yd penalty against
KU.  KU had stopped CU's running game but not the passing game.

Iowa State 19	Nebraska 10

ISU took Nebraska to task at their own game.  Seiler, a 5th year
Sr, got his first start.  ISU ran a triple option rushing game.
The Cyclones got 373yds on the ground with by controlling the lines
of scrimmage.  ISU's Stewart kicked 4 first half FGs for an ISU 12-10
lead.  Osborne tried to warn his team of the emotional letdown.  And
that they were only as good as last week's game, even though people
were talking about how great this team is.  Well, ISU came out with
the emotion.  ISU wanted to run, to grind out the game and the clock.

Missouri 27	Kansas State 14

Well, an overconfident Wildcat team strolled into Columbia, only
to have their tails whipped.  Mizzou sacked KSU 7times for 55yds
and got 4turnovers.  One of those turnovers was a costly one: 38
seconds left in the first half, Benton's foot gets caught in the
turf as he tries to catch a punt that ends up going off his facemask.
MU recovers at KSU's 48.  The Tigers cash in with 15seconds left
for a 17-7 lead.  This forced KSU to pass more than they liked.
And Smargiasso threw 2ints. Add to this that Mizzou could run
while MU stopping KSU's running game.  Ofodile was Mu's surprise,
little known second string TE caught 7pass for 108yds.

Oklahoma 15	Oklahoma State 15	tie

Well, the Bedlam Series lived up to its name.  A tie for the first
time since 1942 and OU's unbeaten streak over OSU is at 16.  Both
teams are curious to what might have been.  As OSU never trailed.
OSU blocked an extra point and returned it for the 2pts.  Yet, OU
marched from their own 35 with 1:15 left in the game to kick a
game tying FG.  Gundy returned from a 2game injury to lead the
Sooners.  The Sooners are frustrated and disappointed in their two
ties(Colo earlier in the year).

From Teresa Merklin(thanks):
OU scored on each posession after Oklahoma State scored. Oklahoma State
never trailed. An interception led to OkStates only TD of the game,
and Denson lowered his helmet and rolled over two OU defenders to get
to the endzone on that one. That interception was the only Turnover of the
game.

Oklahoma had the extra point blocked and returned for 2 by the pokes
following their only TD, as the "fluke" play of the game.

Oklahoma State made a very impressive goal line stand in the fourth quarter
that prevented the Sooners from taking the lead, when Gundy was stuffed on
fourth an goal, and then fumbled the ball. An OU fan mentioned this as one
of the lucky breaks that kept OSU in the game, but really the only break
here was taking over on the 9 after the fumble rather than on the 1 inch line.

OU was finally "healthy" on defense, but several Sooner defenders, most
notably Barnes, were limping around noticibly between plays, so I really
don't think every one was 100%. Still I have to give some credit to Porter
for having a good game, as the offense looked OK in a semi balanced attack.
The pattern here is that Porter plays very well at home, and extremely
poorly on the road, meaning that next week at K State....

Gundy went the whole way for OU, took several hard hits, and showed no signs
of the separated shoulder. Gundy is an very good passer, as evidenced by
by the final drive of the game, but the real problem for the Sooners is that
they just never established the running game, and of course Gibbs called
extremely conservative plays. (I still think Mike had a better career than
Cale has had so far...)

Without a doubt, Gibbs played for the tie, and although I would like to think
that Jones would have played for the win, I really can't be sure. At first
I was really angry at Gibbs for playing it that way and thought that he made
a mistake, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that a win
against Oklahoma State is taken for granted, a tie is bad, but a loss would
be intolerable. Frankly I really don't feel any different between a tie and
a loss.

This was the cleanest Bedlam matchup that I can remember in a long time, with
only 2 (deserved) personal fouls, one on each team. This is not the same OU
team I saw last year in Norman, which was always jumping up and down and
attacking the ball with such enthusiasm that there were borderline late hits
on almost every play. In fact, there wasn't a single time in the game when
I thought "Gee, that was close to a late hit..." on either team, which is
extremely unusual for OU-OSU. The officials even had a good game.
