LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Freshman Darryn Peterson scored 21 points in 22 minutes in his debut to lead No. 19 Kansas past Green Bay 94-51 in the season opener for both teams Monday night.

Peterson shot 7 of 11 from the field, including 3 for 7 from 3-point range, before sitting most of the second half.

Kansas' Flory Bidunga led all scorers with 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field and 5-of-6 sniping from the line. Melvin Council added 10 points for Kansas, which was 33 of 58 from the field (56.9%).

Green Bay was led by Marcus Hall's 17 points.

The Jayhawks, who led by 21 points at the break, put any thoughts of a Green Bay comeback to rest by scoring the first seven points of the second half. The Jayhawks extended their lead throughout the second half and their final 43-point margin was their largest of the game.

Peterson made an impact early. His first bucket, a 3-pointer from the top of the key at the 18:31 mark, put Kansas in front and the Jayhawks never looked back. He also had two steals before the first media timeout. He finished the first half with 18 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals.

Bidunga picked up his second foul with 6:44 left, which earned him a spot on the bench. He finished the half with 16 points. He was 6 for 6 from the field and 4 for 4 from the line.

The Jayhawks were 17 of 29 from the field in the first half, and missed 11 of their 14 3-point attempts. They still led 48-27 at intermission.

Green Bay was led by C.J. O’Hara's nine points before halftime. The Phoenix hit just 34.6% of their shots.

Kansas: At No. 25 North Carolina on Friday.

WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State women's basketball opened the 2025–26 season in emphatic fashion Monday night, rolling past Lincoln 96–42 in Charles Koch Arena.

"Great first night out," head coach Terry Nooner said. "It was a total team effort. We had contributions from a bunch of different people."

The Shockers shot 57 percent from the field and forced 31 turnovers en route to their largest margin of victory since 2022.

Graduate guard and Wichita native Jaila Harding led a balanced Shocker attack with 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including five three-pointers. Sophie Benharouga added 15 points off the bench, while Abby Cater and Taya Davis each chipped in 12 and 7 points, respectively, with Davis dishing out a game-high nine assists.

In total, 12 Shockers found the scoring column and six finished with at least eight points. Wichita State's bench poured in 50 points, and the Shockers turned Lincoln's miscues into 39 points off turnovers.

Wichita State (1–0) jumped out to a 26–12 lead after the opening quarter and never looked back, extending the margin to 56–19 by halftime behind a 30-point second period fueled by stifling defense and crisp ball movement. The Shockers' defense held Lincoln (0–1) to just 22 percent shooting for the game, including 17 percent from beyond the arc.

The Shockers dominated the paint 54–12 and ran the floor effectively, outscoring the Blue Tigers 26–5 in fast-break points.

Jaida McDonald added 10 points and seven rebounds, while Bre'Yon White filled the stat sheet with eight points, four rebounds, and four steals. Maimouna Sissoko added nine points and seven rebounds for the Shockers.

Wichita State will continue its homestand Thursday night when it welcomes Northwestern State to Charles Koch Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;
MANHATTAN, Kansas &ndash;&nbsp;K-State opened its 58th season of women's basketball on Monday night, as the Wildcats dashed by Omaha, 100-35, at Bramlage Coliseum. This was K-State's 15th straight win in a season-opener. The Wildcats carded 100 points in a season-opener for the second time in five seasons, as K-State notched a 103-40 win over Central Arkansas to begin the 2021-22 season. This was the sixth time K-State has scored 100 or more points in the first game of a season. K-State (1-0) saw five players reach double figures and were led by sophomore guard&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/izela-arenas/12623" rel="smarttag" rev="12623">Izela Arenas</a></dfn>&nbsp;with a career-high 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting and added four rebounds, three assists and three steals. The 18 points were the most in a K-State career debut since Gabby Gregory tallied 19 against Central Arkansas on Nov. 7, 2022. Junior guard&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/taryn-sides/12613" rel="smarttag" rev="12613">Taryn Sides</a></dfn>&nbsp;narrowly missed a triple-double as she tallied her second career double-double and her first with points and assists as she tallied 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting, 12 assists with zero turnovers, seven rebounds and four steals. Freshman guard&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/aniya-foy/12617" rel="smarttag" rev="12617">Aniya Foy</a></dfn>&nbsp;carded 13 points, four steals and three rebounds.

FROM THE HEAD COACH K-State Head Coach&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/coaches/jeff-mittie/2670" rel="smarttag" rev="2670">Jeff Mittie</a></dfn> Opening Statement&hellip; "I thought it was a solid performance. [It was]Important that we got out on the court, first time for a lot of these players. We obviously had a closed scrimmage here. We had the road [exhibition at Tarleton State], but it's different at home, with different emotions, energy and nerves that go into that. I thought our group really did some things that were pretty solid. Most of the night, you could see we were kind of excited to play, so I think that led to a lot of early fouls. We have to clean those things up and do those things better. We fundamentally missed some shots that I think we'll make over time. So we have to clean those things up, but all in all, it was a pretty good performance." On set connections on the court&hellip; "I don't know if I found any tonight. I think through practice and through this early fall, we'll start to get some answers. I still think that one of the things when we're going into these games&ndash; is that it's important we get these players minutes together. It's why I'm changing the lineup a lot, it's why I'm changing rotations a lot. I think every opportunity to get them some different connections with each other on the floor. We still have a lot of things we have to answer. Can we rebound against size? Tonight we really weren't challenged in that area. So we have to do those things better in practice." On some things they will work on in practice following game one&hellip; "Well they'll be excited, there's no practice tomorrow. We got the day off, but when we get back to work, I'm not going to like our box outs when I just look at them. I'm going to say that we just rebounded the ball because we chased it better and we were bigger and more athletic. I'm probably going to be pretty nitpicky on that, and because we didn't get tested in that area tonight, it's probably going to be a pretty big part of practice going forward, because I think we'll be tested more in the coming weeks. Offensively, I don't know how to gauge the half court. We weren't in the half court enough tonight, I didn't like our pace at times in the half court. It felt like one person would do something, then we'd go, 'Oh, okay, it's time for me to do something.' 'Oh, wait, it's time for me to do something.' And our timing has got to be better. Now that's just my eyes watching it. I'll evaluate it tonight, but I think the half court is going to be tough for me to evaluate." On&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/taryn-sides/12613" rel="smarttag" rev="12613">Taryn Sides'</a></dfn>&nbsp;performance&hellip; "You look at her stat line, I mean she's very efficient, 12 assists and no turnovers. Just a little bit of everything, and more importantly for her, it's just those that have watched her grow and play with a confident pace out there. You saw it last year, we've seen it continue to grow. This year, it'll be interesting as we progress as a basketball team, whether she's off the ball more or with the ball more, that's something that we're still experimenting with, but it was a really good performance by her." On fundamentals paying off in practice&hellip; "Yeah, I've said this a couple times. Whatever you invest in practice, you want to see that those things are good. So when you talk about us, we've spent a lot of time on just the fundamentals defensively. From that standpoint, I was a little disappointed, because we had way too many fouls and too many hand checks. That's an area that we've invested time in, not doing those things right, so that's disappointing. I did think our communication defensively, with some of our switch outs, some of our ball screen coverages were really pretty solid. From that standpoint, I saw that it was really good. I did not think Omaha pushed it against us, so it's difficult for me to judge transition defense. &nbsp;That would have been an area that I would have liked to have been tested more tonight. They did a pretty good job of that. Can they stay unselfish and can they keep sharing the basketball to the right player? All in all, pretty solid. Most of the night's effort is something that we saw for 40 minutes. I thought it was pretty good. I think you saw the same thing I saw because I'm judging that, with three or four minutes to go, do we have our hands up? Are we talking? I really thought, for the most part, I didn't think we had a whole lot of lapses. Some of the threes that they hit late, those were more credit to them and our coverage of who got those threes, we were going over some stuff, and they finally started knocking some things down. So I thought our effort was pretty good with the freshmen." On the performance of the freshmen&hellip; "I think all of them did good things. All of them did good things tonight. I thought Jordan [Speiser] improved defensively. It's an area that she's working harder at improving. I thought her recognition of things was better. She did not shoot it great, but she made good moves off the bounce. [Brandie] Harrod got off to a rough start, and she had some layup opportunities. She didn't finish, but I liked her activity. You saw as the game went on, what kind of versatile player she is. Gina [Garcia] had foul trouble early. You saw her make a really good adjustment in the second half to get the hands off. And then you saw&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/aniya-foy/12617" rel="smarttag" rev="12617">Aniya Foy</a></dfn>&nbsp;have a really good fourth quarter, and I thought she played really well. I thought all the freshmen did some nice things." On the adjustments to the hand check ruling&hellip; "I have to look at that on film. I didn't think we were as bad as they were calling it, so I have to really look at that. There was an adjustment to the rule, but it was actually a more aggressive adjustment in that you could measure them up a couple times now, so you can get multiple touches. So I have to look at it, I don't know that. You know we can do that in practice to officiate that better and teach it better. Yeah, I don't know. All three officials, though., kept talking about [Gina] Garcia, how handsy she was, and they kept telling us, so I've really got to take a look at that, because she picked up three pretty quick ones [fouls]. Fortunately for her, we're in a game where I can still get her minutes because, if it was a really tight game, I would have probably not gotten her some extra minutes there." On stretches when shots stopped falling&hellip; "I think in that stretch, we just had some steals and were able to get some layups that way. I think watching us tonight, it would be hard to gauge in the half court what we're good at. I don't mean that critically of our team, I just don't think we were in it very much. I just don't think we were in it enough to really gauge what kind of rhythm that was going to take. So I'll look at it on film and see and certainly we'll get back to the drawing board against our practice squad and see if there's some things that we can get better at." On&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/gina-garcia/12618" rel="smarttag" rev="12618">Gina Garcia's</a></dfn>&nbsp;performance&hellip; "I thought she was really efficient, what she's really given us is an ability to score one on one. She's got a good step back. If she gets to that left hand, she's got a nice floater. She can also get to the rim there. We're still evaluating Garcia, [Taryn] Sides and [Izela] Arenas on how to best utilize them together, because all three of them bring some things. Garcia is really the only true point guard that thinks past first&ndash; both Sides and Arenas, they go look for their shot, but I thought Arenas played really well, and I liked her defense better tonight. It's an area that we've asked her to be peskier. It's an area that we've asked her to be more disruptive and I thought she was pretty good." On&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/taryn-sides/12613" rel="smarttag" rev="12613">Taryn Sides</a></dfn>&nbsp;and what she needs to improve on&hellip; "I wasn't really happy at the end of the first quarter, because we messed that end of quarter play. I got to see those things better from her. We had messed up a couple of them at Tarleton. We spent some time on it this week. Those things got to be better, because she is a veteran, and she has been in a lot of different environments, she's got to use those experiences. She's played at Kentucky, she's played at Iowa, she's played in the biggest games in the Big 12. We got to draw from those experiences. And what I've loved about her from the summer on, we were running her off as a shooter this summer. She was more of a scorer and she started to show that ability to play with pace that is required as a scorer. So I want to see her continue to do that, because I think there's a lot more in her." On&nbsp;<dfn><a href="https://www.kstatesports.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/jenessa-cotton/12624" rel="smarttag" rev="12624">Jenessa Cotton's</a></dfn>&nbsp;performance&hellip; "I like the way Jenessa played, I really did. I thought she was a little calmer than she's played. I thought she was rushed at Tarleton. A lot of the things that we're doing offensively puts her into a decision making spot on the floor. She's going to be in the middle of the floor a lot, which, depending on how the defense plays us, she's going to be in that spot to make decisions. We have constantly talked to her about slower is better, and tonight you saw that be better. I think it's a good step for her, because she was rushed at Tarleton. She wasn't seeing it very well, so I really thought she got off to a nice start. And I thought she had a good practice, I thought she's had a good couple days of practice. It looked like she was starting to see things better, and it looked like the game was slowing down for her. She's a player that only played about 45-50 minutes last year at Duke, had the injury, and didn't play all summer for us. She just needs time, she needs minutes, she needs reps, she needs time. She's going to be a heck of a player. We just got to keep getting her out there and giving her some time." UP NEXT K-State makes its first regular season road trip of the 2025-26 season, as the Wildcats visit SMU on Saturday at 4 p.m. The game will be streamed live on ACCNX and can be heard on the K-State Sports Network, online at kstatesports.com and on the K-State Sports app and the flagship stations of K-State women's basketball in Manhattan, Sunny 102.5 and 1350 KMAN.</div>

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and third baseman Maikel Garcia were named winners of 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, as announced tonight by Rawlings Sporting Goods Inc. on ESPN’s Baseball Tonight.

The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards honor the best individual fielding performances at each position in the American League and National League. Winners were chosen by a combination of votes from MLB Managers and coaches, and the SABR Defensive Index.

This is Witt Jr.’s second straight Rawlings Gold Glove Award and Garcia’s first. The Royals now have 42 Rawlings Gold Glove winners by 18 different players. Over the last 15 seasons since 2011, the Royals lead Major League Baseball with 24 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards.

Witt Jr. is the first two-time Rawlings Gold Glove winner at shortstop in Royals history, and is the first American League shortstop to win the award in consecutive seasons since Andrelton Simmons with the Angels from 2017-18.

Witt Jr., 25, made 153 starts at shortstop in 2025, 3rd most in the American League. He ranked 2nd among AL shortstops in assists (382) and fielding percentage (.983), and he was charged with just 10 errors in 578 chances, 2nd fewest among AL shortstops (min. 125 starts).

Witt Jr. tied for the Major League lead among all players in 2025 with 24 Outs Above Average, according to Baseball Savant. Witt Jr.’s 18 Runs Prevented ranked 3rd in the Majors to Pete Crow-Armstrong (22) and Ceddanne Rafaela (19). Baseball Savant’s Fielding Run Value ranked Witt Jr. 5th among all defenders (20) and 1st among shortstops.

Garcia is the second Royals third baseman to win a Rawlings Gold Glove, joining George Brett in 1985.

Garcia, 25, ranked 3rd among American League third basemen with 130 starts, but ranked 1st in total chances (346), putouts (105) and fielding percentage (.980). He was charged with just 7 errors in his 346 chances at third base, fewest among American League players at the position (min. 125 starts). He committed only 1 error in his final 75 games at third base from June 25 through season’s end.

Garcia ranked 4th among all American League players with 17 Outs Above Average, and his 18 OAA as a third basemen led all players at the position in the American League, well ahead of 2nd-place José Ramírez (7) and Ernie Clement (7). Baseball Savant’s Fielding Run Value metric also ranked Garcia 1st among American League third basemen (14), ahead of Ramírez (6).

⚾ Royals' Witt Jr., Garcia Gold Glove winners

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass and ran for two scores to outduel Patrick Mahomes and the Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28-21 on Sunday in a rematch of last season’s AFC championship game.

James Cook had 114 yards rushing and Buffalo’s defense did the rest in harassing Mahomes, who was sacked three times, hit 15 more and finished with the worst completion percentage of his career.

The game was decided in the final 17 seconds, when Mahomes threw three straight incompletions from Buffalo’s 40. The last throw fell short of the end zone and was batted down by rookie Maxwell Hairston. The drive began at Kansas City's 42 after Matt Prater's 52-yard field goal attempt for the Bills struck the right upright.

Allen was 23 of 26 for 273 yards for Buffalo, which improved to 6-2 and has won two straight since losing consecutive games. The Bills have defeated Kansas City in five straight regular-season meetings, but are 0-4 in playoff matchups dating to the 2020 postseason — including last season's AFC title game.

The Chiefs (5-4) had a three-game win streak snapped after winning five of their last six.

Mahomes, who entered having passed for three touchdowns in each of his past three outings, finished 15 of 34 for 250 yards and no scores and an interception.

Mahomes, a two-time NFL MVP, had previously never finished a regular-season outing completing fewer than 50% of his passes over his nine-year career. His previous low was going 19 of 38 for 159 yards in a 21-7 win at Cleveland on Dec. 15.

Rashee Rice scored on a 3-yard run and Kareem Hunt had a 2-yard run to account for the Chiefs’ two touchdowns. Mahomes did convert a 2-point play with a completion to Travis Kelce, while Harrison Butker made field goals from 19 and 46 yards.

Allen opened the scoring with a 23-yard TD pass to Dalton Kincaid — the seventh time Buffalo has scored a touchdown on its opening drive this season. The quarterback also scored on a pair of 1-yard runs in an outing during which the teams traded leads twice.

After the Chiefs built a 10-7 lead on Butker’s 46-yarder 5 1/2 minutes into the second quarter, the Bills responded by scoring touchdowns on their next two possessions.

Ty Johnson capped a five-play 70-yard drive with a 3-yard run for the go-ahead score.

The Chiefs then gave up the ball on downs at Buffalo’s 40 when Cole Bishop broke up a pass attempt to Rice on fourth-and-3. Allen then marched Buffalo on a seven-play, 60-yard drive that he capped with the first of two touchdowns.

Allen’s TD run was the 78th of his career, including the playoffs, breaking the NFL record for quarterbacks he shared with Cam Newton. With his three TDs, Allen has 282 (passing and rushing), moving ahead of Mahomes for second among players before the age of 30. Allen, who turns 30 in May, now trails only Peyton Manning (288).

Chiefs: RB Isiah Pacheco sat out after hurting his knee last week. ... Starting RT Jawaan Taylor hurt his right ankle.

Bills: Starting nickel cornerback Taron Johnson, who hurt his groin in practice Friday, was inactive. ... DE Michael Hoecht hurt his Achilles tendon in a non-contact situation in the fourth quarter and was ruled out.

Chiefs: Bye week before they travel to play the Denver Broncos on Nov. 16.

Bills: Travel to play the Miami Dolphins next Sunday.

EL DORADO – Twice down one set on Saturday at Butler, the Hutchinson Community College volleyball team battled back to force a fifth set, but the Grizzlies outlasted the Blue Dragons in the 2025 regular-season finale at the Power Plant.

🏐Dragons drop 5-set heartbreaker to Butler

EL DORADO, Kan. — No. 1 Hutchinson (8-0, 4-0) scored 21 unanswered points to pull away from No. 9 Butler (5-2, 3-2) Saturday night.

The Dragons and Grizzlies were deadlocked at six after a pair of Alejandro de la Poza field goals (from 46 and 37) and a Butler 30-yard touchdown.

Butler looked ready to take the lead after a Tate McNew touchdown pass to Nakai Poole with 1:42 before halftime.

However, an unsportsmanlike penalty after the score pushed Hunter Rioux's extra-point attempt back 15 yards.

Brady Whitman managed to block the kick and keep the scored tied.

Christian Johnson and the offense worked quickly with little time left in the first half.

Johnson marched the Dragons down the field on a 10-play, 75-yard drive that left just two seconds on the clock.

Johnson capped the drive with a seven-yard touchdown run.

Hutchinson went into the locker room with a seven-point advantage.

Kade Smith got the nod at running back for Hutchinson and saw his first work in the backfield this season.

Smith led the Dragons with 98 rushing yards on 25 carries. His touchdown from five-yards out with 3:23 left in the third put Hutchinson up 20-6.

Johnson scored again on the ground from one yard away early in the fourth quarter to complete the 21-0 run and put Hutchinson up 27-6.

Butler running back Markellus Bass scored on a fourth-down carry late in the game to pull the Grizzlies within 15.

It was a rough day for Rioux. He had an extra-point attempt blocked, a field-goal attempt blocked (by Jlynn Allen) and an extra-point attempt miss wide.

The Dragons now have a record nine blocked special teams attempts this season, a program record.

Bass ran for 108 yards and became the first runner with 100-plus yards against the Dragons since the semifinal against Georgia Military last season.

Bass, the nation's leading rusher with 130.8 yards per game, came into the contest averaging 7.1 yards per touch, but was held to just 4.5 yards per carry.

The Dragons have now won 12-consecutive games (since last year's only loss to Butler) and 24 straight on the road (dating back to 2021).

This is the fourth Top-10 win for Hutchinson. The Dragons now have wins over No. 2 Iowa Western, No. 9 Iowa Central, No. 10 Coffeyville and No. 9 Butler.

Hutchinson has a bye next week before hitting the road to face Highland on Nov. 15.

🏈 No. 1 Dragons win another Top-10 battle

LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Kansas Jayhawks secured a Homecoming victory for the fourth-straight season with a 38-21 win over Oklahoma State Saturday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.

Celebrating the 113th Homecoming in University of Kansas history, the Jayhawks now have the program's longest Homecoming win streak since winning four-straight from 1997-2000.

The Jayhawks rushed for more than 200 yards for the fourth time this season, finishing with 232 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Leshon Williams led the way with 77 yards and a touchdown, while Daniel Hishaw Jr. went for 65 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries. 

Jalon Daniels was 13-for-19 for 110 yards and tossed two touchdowns, finding Bryson Canty and Boden Groen in the end zone. Cam Pickett caught a team-high three passes as seven different receivers caught a pass for the Jayhawks.

Defensively, KU was led by Bangally Kamara with eight tackles and Trey Lathan with six. Marcus Calvin and Blake Herold both recorded sacks, while Lyrik Rawls and Syeed Gibbs each had pass breakups. 

With the win, Kansas improved to 5-4 on the year and 3-3 in Big 12 play, while Oklahoma State fell to 1-8 (0-6 Big 12) this season.

Oklahoma State struck first, receiving the opening kickoff and driving 75 yards in 10 plays to take a 7-0 lead on a 12-yard touchdown pass with 10:40 to play in the first. Kansas responded with a 13-play scoring drive that ended with a 39-yard field goal from Laith Marjan, who set a new school record in the process with his 12th-consecutive made field goal. Following the two scoring drives, OSU led 7-3 at the end of the first.

OSU's second drive was 14 plays, spanning into the second quarter as the Cowboys reached the red zone. The Jayhawks' defense got OSU behind the chains with the first career sack by Calvin, and KU forced the Cowboys to attempt a 44-yard field goal, which was missed wide left. Kansas answered with another long scoring drive, this time getting in the end zone as Hishaw ran it in from three yards out to give KU its first lead, 10-7 with 3:23 to play in the half. OSU again drove deep into Jayhawk territory before KU blocked a field goal on the final play of the half to maintain a 10-7 advantage at the break. 

The Jayhawks opened the second half with another methodical scoring drive. KU marched 75 yards in 10 plays, taking 4:41 off the clock as Daniels found Groen for a three-yard touchdown pass to put the Jayhawks up 17-7. After forcing a quick three-and-out, Kansas struck quickly with a three-play, 54-yard scoring drive that saw Daniels find Canty for a five-yard touchdown and a 24-7 lead with 6:55 to play in the third. OSU closed the quarter with a 10-play touchdown drive, but KU's advantage stood at 24-14 entering the fourth quarter. 

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. returned the ensuing kickoff 56 yards, giving the Jayhawks possession in OSU territory. Kansas needed six plays to cover the next 44 yards, which Hishaw capped off with another three-yard touchdown run to extend the lead to 31-14 with 13:49 to play. Williams added a five-yard touchdown run with 6:04 to play and OSU answered with a touchdown at the 1:19 mark to provide the final margin of 38-21. 

Kansas continues Big 12 Conference play next Saturday, Nov. 8, as the Jayhawks travel to Tucson, Arizona, to take on the Arizona Wildcats at 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2. The game will be Kansas' 10th game of the season and the fourth of five road games.

Jayhawks celebrate homecoming with a win over Oklahoma State

🎧🏈 Under the Helmet with HutchCC OL Rashad Smith

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Behren Morton threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns in his return from an injury, J'Koby Williams ran for 135 yards and a score, and No. 13 Texas Tech romped past sloppy, mistake-prone Kansas State 43-20 on Saturday.

Cameron Dickey also had a touchdown run for the Red Raiders (8-1, 5-1 Big 12), who forced five turnovers while snapping an eight-game losing streak against the Wildcats (4-5, 3-3) with their first win in Manhattan since the 2008 season.

“That was a huge win,” said Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire, who arrived for his postgame news conference wearing a T-shirt with a photo of former Kansas State linebacker-turned-Red Raiders athletic director Kirby Hocutt across the front of it.

“This is no disrespect to K-State,” McGuire said. “It's a tip of my hat to my AD who played linebacker here, and it's been a long time since we beat Kansas State. ... I know it was a big win for him and a huge win for this team.”

Texas Tech is off to its best start in conference play since that year, when Mike Leach guided the team to the Cotton Bowl.

“Winning the turnover battle is a huge thing for us," said Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, the preseason Big 12 defensive player of the year, who forced two of the fumbles. "And we knew we had to do that to win.”

Avery Johnson threw for 199 yards and a touchdown while running for 86 and two more scores. But Kansas State's quarterback also threw two interceptions and was responsible for a late fumble that Texas Tech returned for a touchdown.

Along with the slew of turnovers, the Wildcats also were 0 for 4 on fourth down.

“I thought our guys battled on defense,” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said. "We just didn’t have enough.”

Morton, who had been out of the lineup with a leg injury, opened the game with an interception of his own. But Johnson threw a pick right back, and it was the beginning of a messy first half in which both failed on fourth down, Kansas State lost a fumble and Texas Tech nearly did the same.

The Red Raiders eventually made Kansas State pay for its mistakes, though.

They turned a fumble by Jayce Brown into a touchdown to take a 9-7 lead. They turned a three-and-out late in the first half into a 55-yard field goal. And they turned another fumble, this time from Garrett Oakley on the fourth play of the second half, into a 41-yard run by Williams that silenced the crowd and gave Texas Tech a 19-7 lead.

“Some things happened that absolutely can’t happen when you play a team like that,” Klieman said.

Johnson tried to answer with his second TD run for Kansas State, but Texas Tech's offense kept on going. Stone Harrington drilled another field goal and Caleb Douglas hauled in a short touchdown throw to make it 29-14 heading into the fourth quarter.

Texas Tech's defense took care of the rest.

After the Wildcats scored with 12:44 to go, the Red Raiders stopped the 2-point try to keep it a two-score game. Later in the quarter, they stuffed Johnson for a loss on fourth down near midfield. And when the Texas Tech offense fumbled the ball right back, the Red Raiders again stopped the Wildcats on fourth down with less than 6 minutes to go.

Texas Tech linebacker John Curry returned Johnson's fumble for a touchdown with 4:52 left to put the game away.

“I’m really, really proud of the way we handled adversity today," Morton said. “We got down and we fought back.”

Texas Tech hardly played a clean game — the turnovers hurt, as did some penalties. But with Morton back under center, the Red Raiders were able to overcome them against a team that was coming off an emotional win over rival Kansas.

Kansas State simply made too many mistakes, and not just the turnovers and penalties. Brown and Oakley dropped passes at key points in the game, the latter when the Wildcats turned it over on downs late in the fourth quarter.

And when the Texas Tech offense fumbled the ball right back, the Red Raiders again stopped the Wildcats on fourth down with less than 6 minutes to go.Texas Tech linebacker John Curry returned Johnson's fumble for a touchdown with 4:52 left to put the game away.“I’m really, really proud of the way we handled adversity today," Morton said. “We got down and we fought back.”Texas Tech hardly played a clean game — the turnovers hurt, as did some penalties. But with Morton back under center, the Red Raiders were able to overcome them against a team that was coming off an emotional win over rival Kansas.Kansas State simply made too many mistakes, and not just the turnovers and penalties. Brown and Oakley dropped passes at key points in the game, the latter when the Wildcats turned it over on downs late in the fourth quarter.
