🏈 K-State’s Mott earns Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce ended up putting on a performance that made The Fonz proud.

Mahomes connected with Kelce for three touchdowns — including the go-ahead score with 31 seconds remaining — as the Kansas City Chiefs rallied past the Los Angeles Chargers 30-27 on Sunday night to stay atop the AFC.

Mahomes met Emmy Award-winning actor Henry Winkler before the game. Winkler, who played Fonzie for 12 seasons on the iconic television show “Happy Days”, received a signed jersey on the sideline. Kelce got in the act by wearing a t-shirt before the game that had a picture of The Fonz and said “Football. Family. Fonzie”.

When Mahomes and the Chiefs got the ball at the KC 25-yard line with 1:46 remaining, he had his usual cool and calm presence.

“When I went in the huddle, it was let’s just do it. Everyone had the mindset of take it one play at a time and get it when it counts,” said Mahomes, completed 20 of 34 passes for 329 yards.

After the Chargers had pulled ahead 27-23 on Justin Herbert’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:46 left, Mahomes directed a six-play, 75-yard drive that took just 1:15.

It was the 11th time in the regular-season that Mahomes had a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter.

Despite missing two receivers due to injuries, he completed 3 of 4 for 48 yards on the drive and scrambled twice for an additional 22.

The Chiefs also benefitted from a third-down holding call on Chargers' safety Derwin James after an incomplete pass.

After a 16-yard run by Mahomes and Kansas City timeout, Mahomes hit Kelce on a short crossing route that&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1594545449838342144">Kelce took to the end zone</a>&nbsp;for a 17-yard touchdown,

“We didn’t have our full arsenal of weapons. I was ready for the matchup,” said Kelce, who had six catches for 115 yards. “I knew they were going to play man-to-man and Patrick was going to look for me when it was 1-on-1. I was able to finish the game off on a positive note.”

Herbert and the Chargers had one final chance, but Nick Bolton intercepted a deflected pass to seal it for the Chiefs (8-2), who swept the season series from Los Angeles (5-5) and took a three-game lead in the AFC West.

It is the third straight year the Chargers have had a late lead at home against the Chiefs and were unable to finish.

“You should be frustrated. To not beat those guys is disappointing because we felt like our level was good enough to win, but we didn’t finish plays in that fourth quarter to get it done," Chargers coach Brandon Staley said after Los Angeles lost its second straight to fall to 5-5.

With a one-game lead over four teams in the conference, Kansas City is in position to claim home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Kelce scored at least three touchdowns for the second time in his career. He scored four in a Monday night win over the Raiders on Oct. 10.

Chiefs rookie Isiah Pacheco rushed for a career-high 107 yards.

“Patrick and Travis calm everything down on both sides of the ball. The good players really stepped up when we needed it,” coach Andy Reid said. "I'm proud of our guys for stepping up offensively and defensively. That’s big-time football at the right time.

Herbert went 23 of 30 for 280 yards and two touchdowns, both to Palmer, who had eight receptions for 106 yards. It was easily the Chargers' best offensive performance in nearly a month as the unit was bolstered by the return of receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

Allen, playing only his third game due to a nagging hamstring injury, had five receptions for 94 yards,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1594541687291772929">including a 46-yard catch</a>&nbsp;up the right sideline on the go-ahead drive to put the ball on the Chiefs 16-yard line.

“Mike (Williams) is about as tough as it gets, and Keenan (Allen), too. They’re special competitors, so any time that you get those guys out on the field, something good is going to happen. But, unfortunately, it didn’t go our way today,” Herbert said.

Austin Ekeler had 100 yards (83 rushing, 17 receiving) and a touchdown.

It was Kelce's 34th game with at least 100 yards receiving, surpassing Rob Gronkowski for the most by a tight end in NFL history. Eight of his 11 TDs this season have come in prime-time games.

Kelce gave Kansas City a 13-10 lead early in the second quarter on a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfl.com/videos/kelce-imitates-deion-sanders-high-skipping-dance-on-td-vs-chargers">4-yard screen pass</a>&nbsp;where he imitated Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders’ high-skipping dance on his way to the end zone.

Kelce's 32-yard touchdown on the opening play of the fourth quarter put the Chiefs on top 23-20. Kelce caught the ball at the LA 26 after Asante Samuel Jr. made a diving attempt, broke a tackle by Nasir Adderley at the 16 and went up the right sideline for the score.

After Harrison Butker's 33-yard field goal on the opening possession gave the Chiefs a 3-0 lead, the Charges promptly answered on their first drive in three plays. Palmer beat Juan Thornhill in single coverage and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nfl.com/videos/can-t-miss-play-herbert-flashes-his-cannon-on-50-yard-td-pass-to-palmer">Herbert found him for a 50-yard touchdown</a>.

It was the first time in 20 regular-season games that Kansas City had allowed a touchdown on an opening drive.

Chiefs: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter, Thornhill had a calf injury in the second quarter and WR Kadarius Toney strained a hamstring in the third quarter. None returned to the game.

Chargers: Williams' return was short-lived. He reinjured his ankle after a 15-yard reception in the first quarter. ... LB Kenneth Murray came out in the third quarter with a neck injury. ... S Nasir Adderley had a thumb injury in the fourth quarter.

Chiefs: Host the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday.

Chargers: Return to the road to face the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.

🏈 Kelce scores 3 touchdowns, Chiefs rally past Chargers

DENVER (AP) — Derek Carr hit a wide-open Davante Adams with a 35-yard touchdown pass on the third play of overtime, powering the Las Vegas Raiders to a 22-16 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

The Raiders (3-7) never led in regulation but sent the game into OT when Daniel Carlson kicked a 25-yard field goal with 16 seconds left after a crucial blunder by Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson.

The Broncos (3-7) were clinging to a 16-13 lead at the 2-minute warning but Wilson rolled right on third-and-10 from his own 34 and instead of sliding to burn more time, he pulled up and fired out of bounds.

That saved crucial seconds for the Raiders, who didn't have any timeouts left and got the ball back with 1:43 left instead of about a minute.

Carr drove them 71 yards, hitting running back Josh Jacobs for 43 yards to the Denver 7 to set up Carlson's game-tying kick.

The Raiders won the overtime coin toss and Brandon McManus kicked it to the 5-yard line instead of blasting the ball out of the back of the end zone. Ameer Abdullah returned it 28 yards to the Las Vegas 33.

After Jacobs — who had 109 yards rushing and 51 receiving — lost a yard, Carr hit tight end Foster Moreau for 33 yards over the middle to the Denver 35. From there, Adams confused the Denver defense and was all alone for the game-winner, which gave him 141 yards and two TDs on seven catches. Carr finished 23 of 37 for 307 yards.

McManus' 48-yard field goal put the Broncos ahead 16-13 with 3:30 left in the fourth quarter and Denver's defense forced the Raiders to go three-and-out. But Wilson couldn't burn enough time off the clock before the Raiders got the ball back.

Embattled first-year Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett relinquished offensive play-calling duties to Klint Kubiak, his QB coach and passing game coordinator.

The move paid off immediately when the Broncos scored a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time under Wilson, whose 32-yard throw to Kendall Hinton set up Latavius Murray’s 1-yard TD run.

After that, the game settled into the grind-it-out defensive affair expected of two teams that have been riddled by injuries and ineffective offensive play.

Maxx Crosby came up huge in the final seconds of the first half, preventing a touchdown and then a field goal as the Raiders turned back the Broncos and kept their deficit to 10-7 at the half.

Crosby punched the ball out of fumble-prone running back Melvin Gordon's arms at the 1. Although guard Quinn Meinerz recovered for Denver at the 7, Crosby blocked McManus' 25-yard field-goal try as the first half expired.

That was Crosby's&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFLonFOX/status/1594458094649606145?s=20&amp;t=_92Pc4H4eMMixcgULO-MZQ">third career blocked field goal</a>, and all three have been against the Broncos. He had two against Denver on Jan. 3, 2021.

Crosby's big plays atoned for his personal foul call earlier in the drive when he hit a sliding Wilson, drawing a 15-yard flag on third-and-12 in Broncos territory.

Crosby added a sack on Denver's opening drive after halftime and another on their final snap of the third quarter. Las Vegas has 14 sacks this season and Crosby has nine of them.

McManus kicked a 52-yard field goal after that second sack, giving Denver a 13-10 lead, and Carlson knotted it up again with a career-long 57-yarder with 7:06 remaining in the fourth quarter.

In the first quarter, Carlson's 48-yard try sailed wide right for his first missed field goal since Nov. 7 2021, against the Giants in the Meadowlands.

After McManus' 48-yarder, Adams blew Broncos past star cornerback Patrick Surtain II and hauled in a&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1594450993378271232?s=20&amp;t=cXPdauKggLD0X0HxpQkwMQ">31-yard touchdown</a>&nbsp;catch from Carr to make it 10-7.

There was a moment of silence held before kickoff in honor of the dozens of people shot and five killed when a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/shootings-colorado-springs-e098d88261db6bcfc0774434abbb7a8f">22-year-old gunman</a>&nbsp;opened fire overnight at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, about 70 miles south of Denver.

The Raiders were without TE Darren Waller and WR Hunter Renfrow. ... S Duron Harmon was carted off with a leg injury early in the fourth quarter. Harmon was playing in his 154th consecutive game.

The Broncos were without WRs Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) along with slot CB K'Waun Williams (wrist/elbow/knee). They lost RB Chase Edmonds (ankle) on their first drive and DT D.J. Jones (hand) and DL Jonathan Harris (knee) in the second quarter.

The Raiders visit Seattle next Sunday, their fourth road game in five weeks.

🏀 Tigers hold off MSU Denver

By COLE REIF Great Bend Post

After five years as head football coach at Larned High School, Tad Remy
announced his resignation at the end of the 2022-2023 school year. Tad and his
wife recently welcomed their fourth child, and felt the timing was best to
pursue other goals for their family. 
“There are things we’ve wanted for us and for our family,” said Remy. “There’s
probably never a perfect time to pull the trigger, but we had some
conversations and felt like we needed to make the move now.” 
Remy graduated from Kansas State University in the fall of 2011, wrapping up
his student teaching in his pursuit to become a teacher and coach. He applied
for jobs at Moundridge, Hill City, West Franklin and Larned. 
“Larned was the first one to call me,” said Remy. “I accepted the job and went
to Larned right before spring break in 2012. I was introduced to A.B. Stokes,
who was just hired as the head coach at the time. I didn’t know if I was going
to be able to get onto the high school staff.”

After talking with Stokes over football philosophy and what they valued 
in a
football program, Remy was hired to join the high school staff. Stokes 
would eventually leave, now the coach Bethel College, and Remy took over
 as Larned head coach in
2018. 
Remy posted a 14-31 record in his five years at Larned and qualified for the
playoffs three times. Spending 11 years overall with the Larned
program, telling players and community members the news was not easy. 
“I was running some errands Thursday morning, and I saw Luke Fischer (junior
running back this fall for the Indians) around the corner,” said Remy. “I
thought I was going to be good and stay composed. I saw Luke and knew it was
going to be tough.” 
Prior to telling the team, Remy walked down a different hallway and went to the
gym the backway through the laundry room to compose himself before relaying the
message. 
“It was tough,” said Remy. “I wanted the message to be my conversation and not
for people to hear it from other avenues. Ultimately, I had to do it for real
and look them in the eye.” 
Remy is completing a master’s degree in history and said his plans after the
school year are unknown, but he still wants to coach going forward. 
“Coaching kids and teaching kids is a big part of who I am,” said Remy. “Everyone
probably thinks I’m going to go to Bethel College and coach with Stokes, and I
have had conversations with him. Eventually, things will filter out there,
hopefully sooner rather than later. I’m excited for the future.”&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

MSU Denver (2-1) at Fort Hays State (2-1) Sunday, November 20 - 2 PM Hays, Kan. - Gross Memorial Coliseum Radio - KJLS (103.3)

<a href="https://radio.securenetsystems.net/cwa/KJLS">CLICK TO LISTEN</a> Fort Hays State Men's Basketball will face an old rival from their days in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference on Sunday (Nov. 20), taking on MSU Denver. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. at Gross Memorial Coliseum. Both teams enter the contest at 2-1 overall. Fort Hays State and MSU Denver have not met since the 2005-06 season, which was FHSU's last in the RMAC. The last meeting was in the semifinals of the RMAC Tournament that year with the Roadrunners claiming an eight-point win in Pueblo, Colo. The Tigers won both regular season meetings that year, a season in which the Tigers finished 27-4 overall and reached No. 1 in the national rankings during the regular season. That was the best record in a season recorded by the Tigers under head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/mark-johnson/1143">Mark Johnson</a>, who was just in his fifth season of what is now an impressive 22-year tenure. Both FHSU and MSU Denver were often among the nation's best teams in Division II during Fort Hays State's tenure in the RMAC. MSU Denver owns a 14-11 advantage in the all-time series, but FHSU has won the last two meetings in Hays. The Tigers are coming off a 90-59 win over Bethel College on Thursday night in their home opener.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/jaheim-holden/6906">Jaheim Holden</a>&nbsp;broke out with a 21-point performance off the bench, while&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/elijah-nnanabu/6902">Elijah Nnanabu</a>&nbsp;produced a new career high 19 points.

Five Tigers are still at 100 percent for the season. The Tigers held all three of their opponents so far this season inside 60 points. Opponents are averaging just 55.7 points per game. The Tigers are outrebounding opponent by an average of 6.7 per game. MSU Denver fell in its season opener to Oklahoma Christian before winning its last two against Arkansas-Fort Smith and Barclay College (Kan.). The Roadrunners were supposed to play Barclay in their home arena on Friday evening, but had to play the game at Colorado Christian's home venue since MSU Denver is hosting a regional of the NCAA Tournament in volleyball. Tyrei Randall leads the Roadrunners in scoring at 24 points per game, while Jaden Kennis and Caleb McGill each average double figures as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;

🏀🎙️ LISTEN - FHSU men host MSU Denver Sunday

KANSAS CITY (7-2) at LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (5-4)

<a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl">FANDUEL SPORTSBOOK NFL LINE: Chiefs by 5 1/2</a>.

AGAINST THE SPREAD: Chiefs 4-5; Chargers 5-4.

LAST MEETING: Chiefs beat Chargers 27-24 on Sept. 15 in Kansas City.

LAST WEEK: Chiefs beat Jaguars 27-17; Chargers lost to 49ers 22-16.

CHIEFS OFFENSE: OVERALL (1), RUSH (21), PASS (1), SCORING (1).

CHIEFS DEFENSE: OVERALL (16), RUSH (5), PASS (25), SCORING (19).

CHARGERS OFFENSE: OVERALL (15), RUSH (30), PASS (5), SCORING (16).

CHARGERS DEFENSE: OVERALL (20), RUSH (30), PASS (13), SCORING (29).

TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Chiefs minus-4 (27); Chargers plus-2 (10).

CHIEFS PLAYER TO WATCH: RB Isiah Pacheco, a seventh-round pick out of Rutgers, has supplanted 2020 first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire atop the Kansas City depth chart. Pacheco ran 16 times for 82 yards a week ago against Jacksonville, which kept the Jaguars from selling out to stop Patrick Mahomes and the passing game. Edwards-Helaire was targeted twice without a catch and did not have a carry in the game.

CHARGERS PLAYER TO WATCH: OLB Khalil Mack, who got his seventh sack of the season against San Francisco, tends to save his best when facing Kansas City. He has 7 1/2 sacks in 10 meetings, picking up at least a half sack in six straight games. Mack brought down Mahomes once in the Week 2 loss, and he also had one of his nine tackles for loss for the season.

KEY MATCHUP: Chargers LT Jamaree Salyer vs. Chiefs DE Frank Clark. Los Angeles has been one-dimensional on offense, as demonstrated by its 37 drop-backs to 16 rush attempts against San Francisco. That imbalance puts a premium on pass protection, with rookie Salyer in a critical role. The Chargers gave up two sacks in the first half against the 49ers that forced them to settle for field goals when touchdowns could have put the game out of reach early. Clark had his best game of the season with 1 1/2 sacks against San Francisco before serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. He is expected to return to the starting lineup, giving him a chance to end a run of three straight games against Los Angeles without a sack.

KEY INJURIES: Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and CB Chris Lammons are in concussion protocol. WR Mecole Hardman is dealing with an abdominal injury. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling missed practice with an illness this week. ... Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) are back at practice this week. Allen missed seven of the past eight games, making a brief return against Seattle in Week 7 before aggravating the injury. OLB Chris Rumph II should play after sitting out the past two games because of a sprained MCL. RT Trey Pipkins III (knee) has a better chance of playing this week after being pulled following warmups in San Francisco.

SERIES NOTES: Kansas City has won in overtime in both of its visits to SoFi Stadium, outlasting Los Angeles 23-20 in 2020 and 34-28 last December. ... This has mostly been a series of streaks since 2012. There was a run of four straight wins for the Chargers, followed by nine straight for the Chiefs in a stretch where they claimed 12 of 13. Los Angeles then took two in a row, before Kansas City won the past two meetings. ... In the past eight meetings, six have been decided by one possession.

STATS AND STUFF: Kansas City has won 11 straight games in November, a streak that began with a 24-17 win over the Chargers on Nov. 18, 2019, in Mexico City. ... The Chiefs have eclipsed 300 yards in 14 consecutive games, the third-longest streak in franchise history. ... Kansas City was not penalized last week against Jacksonville for the fourth time in its history. ... Mahomes threw four TD passes against the Jaguars, giving him 16 such games in his first 75 starts. He also has won 57 of his first 75 starts, trailing only Ken Stabler (58) for the most over that span to begin a career. ... Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney scored his first NFL touchdown last week in his second game since arriving in a trade with the Giants. ... Chiefs DE Carlos Dunlap had a half-sack against Jacksonville to give him 100 for his career. He is the 41st player to reach that plateau since sacks became an official stat in 1982. ... Kansas City has 13 sacks over its past three games. It had 31 sacks all of last season. ... The Chiefs’ Travis Kelce could break a tie with Rob Gronkowski for most 100-yard games by a tight end with his 33rd. Kelce has caught a pass in 136 straight games. ... While the Chargers have used a revolving lineup at the two offensive tackle spots, Matt Feiler and rookie Zion Johnson have been on the field at guard for all 635 snaps. ... QB Justin Herbert threw for a season-low 196 yards against San Francisco. It was just the third time in 41 starts he threw for fewer than 200 yards. ... RB Austin Ekeler has 67 receptions this season, fifth most in the league and tops for a non-WR. Kelce’s 63 catches are the next-highest tally for a non-WR. ... Getting Allen back would be a big boost even if he wasn’t highly productive against the Chiefs. Allen has at least five receptions for 50 or more yards in 12 of 13 games against the AFC West rival, averaging 6.3 catches for 71.8 yards. ... Williams has topped 100 yards receiving in three of his past four games versus Kansas City. ... The Chargers have three strip-sacks this season after leading the league with 11 last season. ... Los Angeles has outscored its opponents 109-54 in the second quarter. It has a minus-83 point differential in the other three quarters.

FANTASY TIP: Ekeler seems likely to get back into the end zone this week after having his run of five straight games with at least one touchdown snapped by San Francisco. His 30 scrimmage touchdowns over the past two seasons leads the NFL.

🏀 Big second half carries Tiger women past Colorado Mesa

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Bijan Robinson ran for career-highs of 243 yards and four touchdowns, helping Texas earn a bit of revenge against Kansas with a 55-14 victory Saturday that kept alive the Longhorns' hopes of playing for the Big 12 championship.

The Longhorns (7-4, 5-3), who lost a 57-56 overtime thriller to the Jayhawks a year ago in Austin, need to beat Baylor next weekend while, coincidentally, getting some help from Kansas. The Jayhawks (6-5, 3-5) must also beat Kansas State in their rivalry game for Texas to play fourth-ranked TCU in the title game in Arlington.

Quinn Ewers added 107 yards passing and a touchdown, and Jonathon Brooks ran for 108 yards and two scores, as the Longhorns bounced back from a dismal game against the Horned Frogs in which they didn't score an offensive touchdown.

They scored on nine straight possessions after an opening punt and finished with 427 yards rushing.

The Jayhawks' Jalon Daniels, starting for the first time since a shoulder injury six weeks ago, threw for 230 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Devin Neal ran 13 times for 51 yards.

Robinson, who was held to 29 yards rushing by the Horned Frogs, eclipsed that total midway through the first quarter Saturday, then kept on going. He bulldozed into the end zone from 2-yards out to give the Longhorns the lead, then ripped off two long runs on their next possession to extend the advantage to 14-0.

Robinson nearly had a third first-half TD run, but it was called back by a penalty and Texas had to kick a field goal.

The Jayhawks were hoping to get a boost from the return of Daniels, who had them off to a 5-0 start before his injury on Oct. 8. But they went 3-and-out on their first two drives, failed on fourth-and-2 on the next one, then had a TD wiped out by a penalty and watched Jacob Borcila miss the ensuing field-goal try.

Ewers added a touchdown pass to Keilan Robinson later in the second quarter. And after Daniels was picked off by Jaylan Ford, the Longhorns turned again to Robinson, who appeared to have scurried 25 yards for a touchdown but was ruled out at the 1-yard line with 1 second left in the half — then leapt over the pile on the next play anyway.

Robinson had 172 yards and three touchdowns as Texas took a 31-0 lead to the locker room.

The junior tailback scored from 32 yards out on the first possession of the second half for his first career four-touchdown day, and Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian soon gave Robinson the rest of the night off.

But despite playing just 2 1/2 quarters, his big game against the Jayhawks sent him climbing through the school record book. Robinson tied Chris Gilbert for fifth in career rushing with 3,231 yards, and Robinson’s 39 career scores is tied with Jamaal Charles and Roy Williams for fourth in school history.

It was senior day at Kansas, where the Jayhawks bid farewell to a senior class that included several players who endured multiple coaching changes. That included defensive tackle Sam Burt, who played two seasons for David Beaty, two more for Les Miles and the past two seasons for Lance Leipold.

The Longhorns face the Bears next Saturday. The Jayhawks head down Interstate 70 to play the Wildcats.

🏈 Robinson runs for 243 yards, 4 TDs as Texas routs KU

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Will Howard threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Cincere Mason returned an interception for a TD and No. 19 Kansas State moved closer to a berth in the Big 12 championship game by beating West Virginia 48-31 on Saturday.

Kansas State (8-3, 6-2 Big 12, No. 15 CFP) can clinch a title game spot alongside No. 4 TCU on Dec. 3 with a win in its regular season finale at home against Kansas.

West Virginia (4-7, 2-6) failed to become bowl eligible for the second time under fourth-year coach Neal Brown and for only the fourth time since 2000.

Both team's quarterbacks played well in a battle among backups.

Howard, starting in place of the injured Adrian Martinez, completed 19 of 27 passes for 294 yards.

West Virginia's Garrett Greene got the nod ahead of JT Daniels after Greene's solid play in the second half of a win over Oklahoma a week ago. Greene threw three TD passes to Sam James and finished 15 of 27 passes for 204 yards. He was intercepted twice. Greene also scored on a 13-yard run.

Kansas State led 28-19 after the first quarter. Mason’s 37-yard interception return put the Wildcats up 14-0 a little more than 3 minutes into the game. Later in the quarter, West Virginia’s Malachi Ruffin returned an interception 43 yards for a score. But West Virginia couldn't mount a comeback.

By halftime, Kansas State had 312 total yards and led 41-25. It was the highest scoring first half by the Wildcats since scoring 45 against Montana State in 2008, and the most allowed by West Virginia since allowing 56 to Baylor in 2013.

The offenses slowed down considerably after halftime.

West Virginia ate up nearly nine minutes of clock time on its opening possession of the third quarter, but Casey Legg's 44-yard field goal try fell short, his first miss in 14 attempts this season. He also missed two earlier extra-point kicks.

Howard threw a 43-yard TD toss to Malik Knowles in the fourth quarter. He also had a 15-yard scoring pass to Ben Sinnott in the second.

Kansas State: The Wildcats have won three of their last four. Behind Howard, Kansas State tied its biggest output of the season against the league's worst scoring defense and improved to 4-1 on the road.

West Virginia: Approximately 37,000 fans showed up in the cold, and it will be up to the school to decide whether it was the final home game for Brown, who has a 21-25 record with four years remaining on his contract. Athletic director Shane Lyons was fired last Monday, and WVU President Gordon Gee said no other changes will be considered until after a new athletic director is hired in the next few weeks.

Kansas State hosts Kansas next Saturday. The Wildcats have won 13 straight in the Sunflower Showdown and are 4-2 at home this season.

West Virginia plays at No. 24 Oklahoma State next Saturday. The Cowboys have won four of five meetings in Stillwater, Oklahoma, since the Mountaineers joined the Big 12 in 2012.

Texas (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) at Kansas (6-4, 3-4), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (FS1)

<a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/ncaaf">FANDUEL SPORTSBOOK COLLEGE LINE:</a>&nbsp;Texas by 9 1/2

Texas needs to win its last two games and get some help from the rest of the Big 12 if it wants to sneak into the Big 12 title game. The Longhorns also are out for revenge after an embarrassing overtime home loss to Kansas late last season. Both teams are bowl-eligible, and the winner could have a step up on the loser in the pecking order.

Texas RB Bijan Robinson against Kansas RB Devin Neal. Sure, they won't directly face each other, but two of the best running backs in the Big 12 will be on the field and whoever has more success will have their team in good position. Robinson had a streak of seven straight 100-yard games end last week, when he carried 12 times for 29 yards against TCU. Neal went for 224 yards and a touchdown against Oklahoma State, then followed up with 190 yards rushing last week against Texas Tech.

Texas: QB Quinn Ewers is coming off arguably his worst game of the season, when the Longhorns were held under 200 yards didn’t score an offensive touchdown against TCU. The freshman has completed just 45% of his passes the past three games.

Kansas: QB Jalon Daniels could return for the first time since hurting his shoulder in a loss to TCU on Oct. 8. He warmed up before the past three games, but QB Jason Bean has played every snap. Bean has thrown for at least 200 yards in five straight games with 14 TDs and four interceptions. Bean also has 222 yards and four TDs on the ground.

🏈 Texas tries to keep Big 12 title hopes alive at Kansas

No. 19 Kansas State (7-3, 5-2 Big 12, No. 15 CFP) at West Virginia (4-6, 2-5), Saturday, 2 p.m. EST (ESPN+)

FANDUEL SPORTSBOOK COLLEGE LINE:&nbsp;<a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/ncaaf">Kansas State by 7 1/2</a>.

Kansas State has the inside track at earning a spot in the Big 12 championship game against No. 4 TCU. The Wildcats are alone in second place and will play for the title if they win both of their remaining games. They also could get in with a win Saturday and a loss by Texas at Kansas. West Virginia needs two more victories to become bowl eligible — and perhaps save embattled coach Neal Brown's job.

Kansas State backup QB Will Howard vs. West Virginia's defense. Howard, a junior, will get his second start of the season and the 12th of his career due to a lower body injury to Adrian Martinez. In three games, Howard has thrown for nine touchdowns with one interception. West Virginia is allowing 268 passing yards per game and has given up a total of 42 TDs, the worst in the league.

Kansas State: RB Deuce Vaughn. The junior is among four Big 12 backs averaging more than 100 rushing yards per game. West Virginia allowed 211 yards to Oklahoma's Eric Gray last week.

West Virginia: QB Garrett Greene. Whether the sophomore even plays remains to be seen, but he was superb in his most extensive action of the season, a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-football-sports-west-virginia-oklahoma-sooners-morgantown-8eb2ff9d7ff5cc67f9db6ba1e6b213e1">23-20 win</a>&nbsp;over Oklahoma. Playing the second half in relief of starter JT Daniels, Greene ran for two scores and threw for a third. Brown won't announce a decision on his starter for Saturday.

Kansas State safety Kobe Savage will miss the rest of the season with an undisclosed injury.

 </figure>LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Jalen Wilson scored a career-high 33 points and No. 6 Kansas survived a letdown against Southern Utah, hanging on for an 82-76 victory on Friday night.Wilson set a career best for a second straight game after scoring 25 points in&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/sports-college-basketball-kansas-duke-blue-devils-mens-5be2b7ba78167ca521fe8b8e7b866fb7">the Jayhawks' 69-64 win over No. 7 Duke</a>&nbsp;in Indianapolis on Tuesday night. The Thunderbirds (3-2) didn't figure to provide as tough a challenge, but they hung with Kansas (4-0) until the final minute at Allen Fieldhouse.Good thing Wilson came to play.“He was terrific,” interim coach Norm Roberts said. “He was really efficient. He made some big plays for us.”That was about it for praise from Roberts after the game.“We weren’t very good, but give them credit,” he said. “They played really well. They made some key shots. We were just off in everything we did.“They played exactly how we thought they were going to play. We just didn’t have good body movement and we talked about that before the game. We had so many ill-advised turnovers that they did nothing to cause. We’ve got to clean up a lot of that.”The Jayhawks had their biggest lead of the game, 77-69, with 2:11 remaining. Southern Utah responded with a 7-0 run, including five straight points by Tevian Jones, to get within one point with 1:03 left.Gradey Dick's 3-pointer with 40.6 seconds remaining made it 80-76 and Southern Utah didn't make another basket.“I knew it was a close game, obviously,” Dick said. “KJ (Adams) got the offensive rebound. I felt open and took the shot.”Roberts coached his final game for Kansas in place of Bill Self, who served the last of his school-imposed four-game suspension stemming from recruiting violations first uncovered in a federal investigation.He said he's not concerned about how the Jayhawks will respond to their close call.“We always turn negatives into positives,” he said. “I know Coach (Self) can’t wait to get into practice and get that started. It’s always good when you can get a win and learn from a win, rather than learning from a loss.“Coach talks about this all the time. There’s going to be 10 games that you’re going to play lights-out and there’s no way you’re going to lose. There’s going to be 10 games that you’re going to be average and you’ve got to find a way to win. And then there’s going to be 10 games when you’re going to play bad. Now you’ve got to find a way to be 7-3 in those 10 games.“Tonight was definitely one of those games.”Jones scored 25 points for Southern Utah, Maizen Fausett added 14 and Harrison Butler had 12.The Jayhawks got 18 points from Dick and 14 from Dajuan Harris.Southern Utah outrebounded Kansas 45-41, including 14-6 on the offensive glass. The Thunderbirds hit four of their first seven 3-point attempts to build a 22-16 lead in the first half. Wilson had the final two baskets before halftime to give the Jayhawks a 41-39 edge.“I was just trying to get the ball moving and get to the paint,” Wilson said. “I didn’t want to settle for shots. That’s something we emphasized. We knew they didn’t have any shot-blockers, so we decided to attack the paint.”THE TAKEAWAYSouthern Utah: The Thunderbirds were not intimidated. They answered every early Kansas run and led in the final minute of the first half.Kansas: The Jayhawks need another scorer besides Wilson and Dick. The duo scored 27 of the team’s 41 points in the first half and finished with 51 of the Jayhawks' 82.UP NEXTSouthern Utah: Heads to the Islands.
