RED RAIDERS EARN FIRST WIN AT COLORADO Oklahoma 2-1 6-1 L1 BOULDER, COLO. (AP) -- Matt Williams’ 36-yard field goal with 2:09 left Oklahoma State 2-1 6-1 L1 capped Texas Tech’s comeback from a 10-point deficit and gave the Red Texas 2-2 4-3 L1 Raiders a 27-24 win over Colorado on Saturday. The Red Raiders (4-3, 2-3 Texas Tech 2-3 4-3 W1 Big 12) started the game-winning drive at midfield after Austin Zouzalik Texas A&M 1-2 4-3 W1 thwarted the Buffaloes’ rugby punt strategy by grabbing the line-drive at his 47. After Williams’ field goal, the Buffaloes (3-4, 0-3) turned the ball CONF OVERALL STK over on downs at their own 22 with 1:44 left when Cody Hawkins mis- NORTH 3-0 7-0 W7 fired on three throws and completed another for 2 yards. The Buffaloes Missouri 2-1 6-1 W1 got the ball back with 16 seconds left when the Red Raiders decided not Nebraska 2-2 4-4 W1 to go for a field goal but Hawkins threw two more incompletions before Iowa State 2-2 5-2 L1 completing his final pass, which was fumbled away. Hawkins replaced in- Kansas State 0-3 3-4 L3 jured starter Tyler Hansen (ribs) late in the first half and led the Buffaloes Colorado 0-3 2-5 L3 to a field goal that gave them a 10-7 halftime lead. He then hooked up for Kansas two scores with freshman Paul Richardson as the Buffs built a 24-14 lead. Williams’ 40-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter made it 24-17, and after Aric Goodman was wide right on a 35-yard attempt for Colorado, the Red Raiders drove 80 yards in seven plays and tied it on Taylor Potts’ 7-yard touchdown pass to Lyle Leong with 11 minutes left. The Red Raiders were about to go ahead when Colorado cornerback Jalil Brown intercepted a fade pass in his end zone that was intended for Detron Lewis with six minutes remaining. But the Buffs were forced to punt and that’s when their strategy, which they hoped would result in a bouncing ball down the field, was thwarted by Zouzalik. Potts hit Lewis for 14 yards and Baron Batch ran for 14 more, setting up Williams’ game-winner.
