Adrian Martinez ran down the sideline for a 55 yard gain in the fourth quarter. Kansas State's win was sealed when he punched in a touchdown. There is a time and a place for it.
Kansas State has done it many times.
Adrian Martinez ran for a career-high 148 yards and four touchdown in the upset of the 6th ranked Oklahoma Sooners.
It was unlikely that Kansas State would beat Oklahoma for the fourth time in a row, despite the fact that they had beaten the Sooners in each of the last three years.
"Our kids believe that they're a good football team, and they have to go out there and prove it," Chris Klieman said. Tonight they proved it.
The quarterback passed for more than 200 yards and a touchdown. The Cornhuskers lost to Oklahoma in the same stadium last year, and he was their quarterback.
It was the best performance of his college career.
He said it was a special feeling to beat a team like this.
The man ran for 116 yards for the Cats.
Venables lost his first game as a head coach against his alma mater.
He said that they didn't play like they have these first three weeks. The man in the mirror is the beginning of it. We didn't get our guys ready to play. We weren't very good at handling success. The other team may be the only one. They did a better job than you did.
Venables said that they were the better team. I thought they played better than us because they were more physical and they played better on both sides of the ball.
Gabriel passed for 330 yards and four touchdown and Gray ran for 114 yards for the Sooners.
Kansas State took a 14-7 lead about nine minutes into the game on a 6-yard touchdown run and a 6-yard touchdown pass.
Coming out fast helped us as a unit. We knew we could score.
In the first half, the Cats gained 347 yards and took a 24 17 lead.
With eight minutes to go in the game, Kansas State was up 34-20, thanks to a third touchdown run byMartinez.
The score was tied at 27 with 4:36 to go when Gabriel found the receiver for a touchdown. He ran for 55 yards on a third-and-16. He scored his fourth touchdown of the game on the final drive.
The Sooners cut the deficit to 41-34 but Kansas State's Kade Warner recovered the onside kick.
"They kicked it to the kid that's got the best hands on our team in Kade Warner, and I felt good," he said. I was really happy when he recovered that. We are going to win this time. This is the second time in a row that I've done this.
