MANHATTAN, Kan. – Jason Taylor II returned a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, and Oklahoma State stopped Kansas State’s 2-point try that would have tied it with 2:08 to go, allowing the Cowboys (5-1, 4-1) to escape with a victory.

The Cowboys’ Spencer Sanders was held to just 108 yards passing without dynamic wide receiver Tylan Wallace and with running back Chuba Hubbard slowed by an injury.

The Wildcats (4-3, 4-2) were forced to try for a 2-point conversion after Will Howard’s short TD run because of their odd decision to attempt a 2-point try to stretch a 12-0 lead in the first half.

AMES, Iowa – Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes in the second half after throwing three intercepti­ons in the first, and Iowa State came from behind to beat Baylor (1-4, 1-4).

The Cyclones (5-2) are 5-1 in conference play for the first time in the program’s 128-year history and are first in the Big 12 by a half-game.

NO. 19 OKLAHOMA 62, KANSAS 9

NORMAN, Okla. – Rhamondre Stevenson ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns as Oklahoma (5-2, 4-2) routed winless Kansas (0-7, 0-6) on Saturday.

Stevenson, in his second game back from a suspension, also caught four passes for 60 yards.

NO. 22 TEXAS 17, W. VIRGINIA 13

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas stopped West Virginia on fourth-down passes into the end zone twice in the fourth quarter, enabling the Longhorns to escape with a victory.

Texas (5-2, 4-2 Big 12) overcame an offense that produced nearly 100 yards and 27 points fewer than its average.

TCU 34, TEXAS TECH 18

FORT WORTH, Texas – TCU quarterbac­k Max Duggan ran for 154 yards and three touchdowns on a day when he threw for only 73 yards, and the Horned Frogs (3-3, 3-3) snapped a fivegame home losing streak with a win over Texas Tech (2-5, 1-5).

Duggan, who finished 11-of-23 passing with an intercepti­on, had a 3-yard keeper for a score in the first half. He sprinted 48 yards for a touchdown in the final minute of the third quarter, then had a game-clinching 81-yard TD on his 19th and final carry with 1:42 left.
