Cowboys Shock Missouri

Oklahoma State stopped a Missouri offense that had been scoring at will all season, intercepting Chase Daniel three times in the second half and upsetting the third-ranked Tigers 28-23 on Saturday night.

Zac Robinson and Damian Davis hooked up on a pair of long scores in the second half, and Patrick Lavine's interception at the Oklahoma State 31 with 1:41 to go was the clincher. Missouri (5-1, 1-1 Big 12) had appeared poised to challenge for No. 1 with a strong effort after top-ranked Oklahoma lost to Texas and No. 2 Alabama had the weekend off.

Instead, it was the coming-out party for the No. 17 Cowboys (6-0, 2-0 Big 12). Oklahoma State, only 18-19 in Coach Mike Gundy's first three seasons, is 6-0 for only the second time since 1945.

NO. 7 TEXAS TECH 37,

NEBRASKA 31

LUBBOCK, Texas - Eric Morris scooted 1 yard around right end for a touchdown in overtime and Jamar Wall made that score stand up for Texas Tech with an interception, and the seventh-ranked Red Raiders defeated Nebraska.

Texas Tech (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) left the door open for the Cornhuskers (3-3, 0-2) to win it with a touchdown and extra point, when the Red Raiders botched the PAT after Morris' score.

But the mistake didn't cost the Red Raiders. Joe Ganz was scrambling and trying to throw the ball away on the Huskers' second play when Wall intercepted along the Texas Tech sideline to end the game.

NO. 8 USC 28,

ARIZONA ST. 0

LOS ANGELES - Mark Sanchez passed for one touchdown and ran for another, and the Southern California defense dominated Arizona State on Saturday.

Joe McKnight ran for a career-high 143 yards on 11 carries and Kevin Thomas returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown for the No. 8 Trojans (4-1, 2-1 Pac-10), who extended their winning streak against the Sun Devils (2-4, 1-2) to nine games, winning by an average of 20.1 points.

NO. 9 BYU 21,

NEW MEXICO 3

PROVO, Utah - Max Hall threw for three touchdowns and No. 9 BYU survived its lowest scoring game of the season with a win against New Mexico (3-4, 1-2 Mountain West), extending the nation's longest winning streak to 16.

BYU (6-0, 2-0) remained unbeaten at the halfway point of the season, but needed Hall's 8-yard touchdown pass to Austin Collie with 3:05 left in the game to seal it.

NO. 14 UTAH 40,

WYOMING 7

LARAMIE, Wyo. - Matt Asiata ran for a touchdown and caught another, Utah's special teams scored two touchdowns and its defense stifled punchless Wyoming.

No. 14 Utah (7-0, 3-0 Mountain West) remained undefeated, having no problem clearing this hurdle after needing a last-second field goal to beat Oregon State last week.

Wyoming (2-5, 0-4) lost its fourth straight game, but managed to avoid being shutout for the third time this season.

NO. 15 BOISE ST. 24,

SOUTHERN MISS 7

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Kellen Moore threw three TD passes and No. 15 Boise State rolled to an easy win with a scoring flurry in the second quarter.

Moore hit 16 of 20 passes for 144 yards and all three touchdowns in the first half, connecting twice with Austin Pettis, for the efficient Broncos (5-0).

NO. 16 KANSAS 30,

COLORADO 14

LAWRENCE, Kan. - Jake Sharp scored three touchdowns and Todd Reesing threw for 256 yards and another score, leading No. 16 Kansas past Colorado (3-3, 0-2 Big 12).

The Jayhawks (5-1, 2-0) led only 16-14 after Cody Hawkins' 1-yard TD run at the end of the third period. But Reesing quickly engineered two scoring drives to salt away Kansas' 20th win in 23 games and their 13th in a row at home.

Sharp, a 190-pound junior, had 118 yards on a career-high 31 carries and scored on runs of 1, 8 and 7 yards.

NO. 25 BALL ST. 24,

WESTERN KENTUCKY 7

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Nate Davis threw for 155 yards and two touchdowns as No. 25 Ball State overcame a slow start in its first-ever game as a ranked team to beat Western Kentucky.

MiQuale Lewis ran for 112 yards and a score for the Cardinals (7-0), who needed more than a half to find any rhythm against the pesky Hilltoppers (2-5).
