Behren Morton threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns in his return from an injury, J'Koby Williams ran for 135 yards and a score, and No. 13 Texas Tech romped past sloppy, mistake-prone Kansas State 43-20 on Saturday. Cameron Dickey also had a touchdown run for the Red Raiders (8-1, 5-1 Big 12), who forced five turnovers while snapping an eight-game losing streak against the Wildcats (4-5, 3-3) with their first win in Manhattan since the 2008 season. "That was a huge win," said Texas Tech coach Joey McG uire, who arrived for his postgame news conference wearing a T-shirt with a photo of former Kansas State linebacker-turned-Red Raiders athletic director Kirby Hocutt across the front of it. "This is no disrespect to K-State," McGuire said. "It's a tip of my hat to my AD who played linebacker here, and it's been a long time since we beat Kansas State...I know it was a big win for him and a huge win for this team." Texas Tech is off to its best start in conference play since that year, when Mike Leach gui ded the team to the Cotton Bowl. "Winning the turnover battle is a huge thing for us," said Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, the preseason Big 12 defensive player of the year, who forced two of the fumbles."And we knew we had to do that to w in." Avery Johnson threw for 199 yards and a touchdown while running for 86 and two more scores. But Kansas State's quarterback also threw two interceptions and was responsible for a late fumble that Texas Tech returned for a touchdown. Along with the sl ew of turnovers, the Wildcats also were 0 for 4 on fourth down. "I thought our guys battled on defense," Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said. "We just didn't have enough." Morton, who had been out of the lineup with a leg injury, opened the game with a n interception of his own. But Johnson threw a pick right back, and it was the beginning of a messy first half in which both failed on fourth down, Kansas State lost a fumble and Texas Tech nearly did the same. - Texas Tech/AP College Football

Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton exited the No. 9 Red Raiders' game against Kansas after appearing to injure his lower right leg when he was sacked in the second quarter. Morton pounded the turf after getting his legs caught under Leroy Harris III on the sack. The injury to Morton came on third down, so the offense was coming off the field anyway. He appeared to argue with the medical staff before backup Will Hammond went out for Texas Tech's next series, which ended after three plays. Hammond threw an interception on of the next possession. It's the third time this season Morton has exited a game with an injury. He hyperextended his right knee in a 67-7 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the season opener and was sidelined in a 34-10 win over Uta h after taking a hard hit to the head. It was the second significant injury of the first half for the Red Raiders, who led 21-7 late in the first half. - AP College Football

Challenge these guys. They feel it, too.”Oregon State's Maalik Murphy threw touchdown passes in the waning minutes to Bryce Caufield and Karson Boschma. The Beavers are 0-3 for the first time since 2011. "The disappointing thing was, I thought we didn't play with much effort or willingness to be physical,” Beavers coach Trent Bray said. "That's my fault. I've allowed it to happen. Got to get it fixed.” Morton's TD passes we re 38 yards to Coy Eakin, 61 yards to Caleb Douglas, 30 yards to Williams and 23 yards to Terrance Carter.
