MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Sam Ehlinger helped Texas get that elusive win over a ranked opponent.

Thompson, Pringle lead Kansas St. past Oklahoma St. 45-40

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Looks like 78-year-old Kansas State coach Bill Snyder still knows how to reach young people.

Snyder made it a point to tell his team it was a heavy underdog heading into Saturday's matchup with No. 10 Oklahoma State, and it was the perfect button to push. Byron Pringle caught three touchdown passes and returned a kickoff for another score to help the Wildcats stun the Cowboys 45-40 on Saturday.

At one point he told Kansas fans behind the bench to "go cheer on basketball," and after throwing his third and final touchdown pass, video cameras caught him grabbing his crotch and cursing at the opposing sideline.

Iowa State ends 2-game skid with 23-13 victory at Baylor

WACO, Texas -- Hakeem Butler made an over-the-shoulder catch and then broke away from two defenders for an Iowa State touchdown.

Butler's highlight 67-yard catch-and-run score on a pass from freshman Zeb Noland just before halftime put the Cyclones ahead to stay, and they clinched a winning conference record for the first time since 2000 with their 23-13 victory at Baylor on Saturday.
