Texas A&M's Jovorskie Lane (11) carries the ball against Nebraska's Armando Murillo (5). Lane ran for four touchdowns in the Aggies' 36-14 victory Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb. ? This was no way to impress the new boss.

Days after Tom Osborne took charge of Nebraska football, coach Bill Callahan’s Cornhuskers were blown out for the third consecutive week, this time by Texas A&M.

Using a triple-option offense reminiscent of the one Osborne employed during his Hall-of-Fame coaching career, the Aggies ran over Nebraska, 36-14, on Saturday.

Stephen McGee set career highs with 35 carries for 167 yards and Jorvorskie Lane rushed for 130 yards and four touchdowns for the Aggies (6-2, 3-1 Big 12).

The Huskers (4-4, 1-3) have been outscored 122-34 during their three-game losing streak to Missouri, Oklahoma State and A&M. It’s the third three-game losing streak in four seasons under Callahan, who had the heat ratcheted up on him after athletic director Steve Pederson was fired this week.

“Obviously, we’re hurting again,” Callahan said. “It’s a very tough ballgame to swallow.”

Osborne, who will wait until the end of the season to decide whether Callahan stays or goes, told the players in the locker room that he thought they played hard. The difference in the game, Osborne said, was that the Huskers were minus-three on turnovers.

“When you have turnovers like that, it gives you the impression that it’s worse than it was,” Osborne said. “The effort was better. I actually was encouraged.”

Many in the crowd of 84,473 wore T-shirts commemorating Osborne’s return to the athletic department, 10 years after finishing his Hall-of-Fame coaching career. The shirts read: “T.O. Tradition. Order.”

No. 4 Oklahoma 17, Iowa State 7

Ames, Iowa – Oklahoma came out flat against Iowa State, and the No. 4 Sooners nearly paid the price.

Chris Brown ran for two second-half touchdowns and Oklahoma survived a major scare from Iowa State.

D.J. Wolfe’s end-zone interception midway through the fourth quarter helped turn the tide for the Sooners (7-1, 3-1 Big 12), who won at Iowa State for the 20th straight time.

It wasn’t easy.

Oklahoma, which was stunned by Colorado 27-24 in its only other Big 12 road game this season, committed three turnovers and didn’t take the lead until the fourth quarter.

The Sooners nearly gave it back.

Iowa State (1-7, 0-4), aided by a shanked punt, drove to the Oklahoma 8 with 7:24 left, where Bret Meyer converted a fourth-and-1. However, Wolfe grabbed a tipped pass from Meyer to keep Iowa State from tying the score.

The Cyclones forced Oklahoma into a forurth-and-4 with 3:02 left, but Sam Bradford found Jermaine Gresham for a 14-yard reception. Garrett Hartley sealed the victory with a 43-yard field goal with 1:34 left.

No. 19 Texas, 31, Baylor 10

Waco, Texas – Colt McCoy had his problems, but they weren’t enough to keep No. 19 Texas from beating Baylor again.

McCoy overcame two interceptions, missing a wide-open receiver in the end zone and a personal foul penalty with 293 yards passing and a touchdown.

This 10th straight victory over Baylor wasn’t nearly as easy as most have been for the Longhorns (6-2, 2-2 Big 12), who won the previous nine games by an average of 41 points.

Texas still led by only a touchdown when Deon Beasley intercepted a pass with nine minutes left at the Baylor 43. Five plays later, including a 31-yard pass from McCoy to Jamaal Charles, Vondrell McGee scored on a 4-yard run to make it 24-10.

Longhorn Marcus Griffin returned another interception 91 yards for a touchdown with 5:47 left.

Michael Machen threw three interceptions while completing 25 of 44 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown in his first start for Baylor (3-5, 0-4). His only pass attempt before Saturday had been intercepted.

McCoy, finished 25-of-34 passing, including nine of his last 10.
