Wildcats’ win ‘very satisfying’

? In his 15 years at Kansas State, Bill Snyder has turned one of the nation’s worst programs into one of the best, but he couldn’t win at Nebraska.

That changed dramatically Saturday.

Kansas State not only won in Lincoln for the first time since 1968 with its 38-9 victory, but also handed the No. 18 Cornhuskers their worst home loss since 1958.

“It was a very satisfying game for our players and coaches,” Snyder said. “Extremely important to me is the fact that long-suffering Kansas State football fans are happy this evening. There are a lot of people who have had some great anguish over the years, and this is something of a reward for them.”

Ell Roberson passed for 313 yards and the two touchdowns that broke open the game in the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats would go on to deal the Huskers their worst loss at Memorial Stadium since a 31-0 setback against Missouri on Nov. 1, 1958.

Kansas State (9-3, 5-2 Big 12) became only the sixth visiting team to beat the Huskers (8-3, 4-3) in the last 107 games in Lincoln. The Wildcats’ last win at Nebraska was, 12-0, Nov. 9, 1968.

No. 6 Texas 43, Texas Tech 40

Austin, Texas — Chance Mock hit B.J. Johnson with a nine-yard touchdown pass with 46 seconds left, keeping the Longhorns in the hunt for a BCS bowl. Mock, who began the season as the starter for Texas (9-2, 6-1 Big 12), relieved Vince Young after Texas Tech (7-4, 4-3) took a 40-35 lead on Taurean Henderson’s third touchdown run of the night. Faced with 86 yards to cover with 1:57 on the clock and no timeouts, Mock ran Texas’ two-minute offense to perfection. The Longhorns’ fifth straight win will keep them ranked high in the BCS standings. They were No. 5.

Oklahoma 41, Baylor 3

Norman, Okla. — Jason White threw for 307 yards and four touchdowns, and Oklahoma’s defense didn’t allow a touchdown for the third straight week. The Sooners (11-0, 7-0 Big 12) clinched the Big 12 South Division title, earning a spot in the Dec. 6 conference championship game for the third time in four years. Baylor is 3-8 overall and 1-6 in the Big 12.

Missouri 45, Texas A&M 22

Columbia, Mo. — Brad Smith bounced back from a four-turnover game with 136 yards rushing, three touchdowns and no giveaways. Smith, a sophomore, became the first player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in two seasons and had scoring runs of 7, 19 and 9 yards. Zack Abron had 141 yards on 20 carries with a two-yard run to break the school record for career touchdowns and scoring for Missouri (7-3, 3-3 Big 12).

Colorado 44, ISU 10

Ames, Iowa — Joel Klatt threw two touchdowns passes and Brian Calhoun ran for two more scores. Colorado (5-6, 3-4 Big 12) led 37-0 at halftime and held the Cyclones (2-8, 0-6) to one net yard until late in the half when Waye Terry completed three passes for 27 yards and ran for two to give Iowa State 30 yards. Terry led the Cyclones with 72 yards rushing in 13 attempts, mostly on scrambles in the second half. Stevie Hicks gained 56 yards on 15 carries.
