Manhattan ? Kansas State coach Bill Snyder believes that cornerback Bobby Walker accomplished a rare feat Saturday night.

Walker intercepted two Seneca Wallace passes and returned them for touchdowns 23 seconds apart as No. 12 Kansas State routed No. 21 Iowa State, 58-7, Saturday night.

“I told Bobby he’s the only defensive player in the history of college football to score on consecutive downs,” Snyder said.

“We’ll labor under that assumption until somebody proves otherwise.”

Walker intercepted a Wallace pass and sped 45 yards for a touchdown about five minutes into the third quarter. After the Wildcats kicked off, Wallace fired a pass toward his tight end that Walker picked off and took 26 yards into the end zone.

On the first, he fumbled the ball as he approached the goal line and the ball rolled out of the back of the end zone. Officials ruled it a touchdown although replays showed he lost control of the ball before crossing the goal line.

“The officials called it and I went along with it,” said Walker, who set a school record with two interception returns for touchdowns in a game and tied a school mark with three in a season.

The Wildcats (8-2, 4-2 Big 12) followed those two plays with two more quick touchdowns off turnovers in a 28-point third-quarter burst that led to their biggest margin of victory in a series that’s been played every year since 1917.

It was the Cyclones’ most lopsided loss since a 56-3 setback to Oklahoma in 1987. Iowa State (7-4, 4-3), which has enjoyed a rebirth in coach Dan McCarney’s eighth season, came into the game still hoping to compete for the Big 12 North title.

But in their ninth straight loss to Kansas State, the Cyclones lost three fumbles, threw three interceptions and were penalized 12 times for 100 yards.

“That didn’t feel like us at all,” said wide receiver Lane Danielsen, had 133 yards on eight catches.

Kansas State tight end Thomas Hill (88) congratulates running back Darren Sproles (43) after Sproles scored a touchdown against Iowa State. The 12th-ranked Wildcats blew away the No. 21 Cyclones, 58-7, Saturday in Manhattan.

“We tried to come out fast but we kept turning the ball over and couldn’t get anything going at all. We were playing uphill all game.”

Wallace, who had a school-record 493 yards of total offense the week before against Missouri, was 11-of-26 for 162 yards and three interceptions and had 4 yards rushing.

“I just played bad, basically. I played sorry,” he said. “There’s nothing more I can say. I made a lot of mistakes I usually don’t do and they capitalized on them.”

The week before, Kansas State crushed Kansas 64-0 in the most lopsided win in the 100-game history of that rivalry.

“We’re playing very well now,” offensive coordinator Ron Hudson said. “But the story of this game is their six turnovers and 12 penalties.”

Ell Roberson and Darren Sproles each scored two touchdowns and Sproles became the sixth Kansas State running back to go over 1,000 yards in a season.

Sproles, who had 103 yards on 18 carries, hit the 1,000-yard plateau on his 159th carry of the season, breaking the school record of 1,000 yards on 192 carries set by Isaac Jackson in 1973.

His sixth straight 100-yard game tied Jackson’s school record.

The Cyclones had a dismal first half, committing 10 penalties for 74 yards and rushing for 17 yards on 17 carries.

The Cyclones were called for having 12 men on defense on Kansas State’s second touchdown, a 1-yard run by Roberson following Josh Buhl’s recovery of Wallace’s fumble on the Iowa State 12.

At that point, the Cyclones had run four plays and had minus-3 yards and a turnover while Kansas State had a 13-0 lead. Roberson’s 28-yard run on Kansas State’s fourth play of the game put the Wildcats up 7-0.

After Walker’s second TD, Sproles scored on a 5-yard run and Travis Wilson scored on a 4-yard run, both following Iowa State fumbles.

No. 4 Texas 41, Baylor 0

Austin, Texas – Chris Simms threw for three touchdowns, including a 73-yarder to Roy Williams on the second play of the game, as No. 4 Texas rolled.

Texas (9-1, 5-1 Big 12) has crept back into the national championship picture by winning four in a row since losing to No. 1 Oklahoma on Oct. 12.

Baylor (3-7, 1-5) which fired coach Kevin Steele after a 62-11 loss to Texas Tech a week earlier, was shut out for the fourth time this season. The Bears have lost 29 of their last 30 conference games.

Texas has outscored Baylor 200-24 in winning the last four games in the series.

Simms finished with 254 yards on 18-of-23 passing with one interception in three quarters.

Williams had eight catches for 172 yards, extending his streak of consecutive games with at least one catch to 32. He had 13 catches for 161 yards a week earlier in 27-24 win at Nebraska.

The win gave Texas a school-record fifth straight season with at least nine victories.

Texas Tech 49, Oklahoma State 24

Lubbock, Texas – Kliff Kingsbury passed for 425 yards and four touchdowns, becoming the No. 5 passer in NCAA Division I history for Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders (7-4, 4-2 Big 12) became bowl eligible for the third time in three seasons under coach Mike Leach.

Kingsbury moved to No. 5 on the NCAA career passing list with 11,394 yards, passing Eric Zeier of Georgia, Peyton Manning of Tennessee and Tim Lester of Western Michigan. He completed 38 of 49 passes against the Cowboys.

Tech led the entire game, but Oklahoma State (4-5, 2-3 Big 12) stayed close thanks mostly to Tatum Bell and Raushaun Woods. Bell finished with 165 yards on 22 carries, including a 67-yard touchdown run. Woods had 111 yards on eight catches.

Tech went up 21-0 early in the second quarter, but special teams allowed the Cowboys to come back.
