MANHATTAN, Kan. Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping . -- Collin Klein threw a touchdown pass and ran for two scores and No. 7 Kansas State beat No. 23 Texas 42-24 on Saturday night for its third conference title in 117 years and a trip to the Fiesta Bowl. The Wildcats had never played for a conference championship in their last game at home, and had never had a player end the regular season in such close contention for the Heisman Trophy as Klein. Neither of his main competitors, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel nor Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo, played this weekend. So Klein, a multitalented senior, had the stage all to himself, one last chance to burnish his credentials for what would be Kansas States first Heisman. In front of their sixth sellout in seven home games, the Wildcats (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) tied their team record for victories in a season and matched Oklahomas Big 12 record. Kansas State has beaten Texas (8-4, 5-4) five in a row. The Sooners beat TCU earlier Saturday and immediately donned caps and T-shirts declaring themselves Big 12 champs. But Kansas States 24-19 win at Oklahoma on Sept. 22 gives them the tiebreaker and sends them into the Fiesta Bowl. After a slow start, Klein wound up hitting 8 of 14 passes for 184 yards and added 108 yards rushing on 23 carries. John Hubert scored three touchdowns. Texas, which may be headed for the Cotton Bowl, led 10-7 at halftime. But with Klein hitting a 29-yard pass and Hubert breaking free for 28 yards, Kansas State soared 75 yards in seven plays, with Hubert scoring from the 2. Hubert also had a 2-yard TD run with 47 seconds left in the third quarter and scored on a 1-yard run for a 35-17 lead with a little more than 3 minutes to go after Drew Liddle recovered Texas muffed punt. A few minutes later, Allen Chapman intercepted Case McCoys pass and ran it back 35 yards, setting up Kleins 9-yard TD run for a 42-17 lead with 1:53 left. McCoy threw a 14-yard TD pass to Jaxon Shipley in the second quarter and a 9-yard scoring pass to Malcom Brown less than 1 minute left in the game. Brown also scored on a 2-yard run in the second quarter. McCoy hit 26-of-34 passes for 314 yards, with two interceptions. He was sacked four times by a swarming Kansas State defence. The Wildcats lone touchdown of the first half came on a 1-yard run by Klein and after an embarrassing lapse by defensive back Nigel Malone. With perfect timing, Malone jumped in front of McCoys intended receiver on Texas second possession, made the interception and sped 30 yards into the end zone. But the ball only travelled the 29. The play was initially ruled a touchdown, but upon review, it was determined Malone had let go of the ball and allowed it drop to the ground just as he was about to step across the goal line. So it was placed on the 1 and Klein plowed into the end zone for his 21st rushing TD of the season and No. 54 for his career. Klein was 0 for 4 in Kansas States scoreless second quarter while McCoy was going 17 for 20 in the first half for 204 yards. McCoys longest pass play went for 70 yards, but almost all of that was the running of Daje Johnson right after Adrian Phillips intercepted Kleins pass in the end zone and gave the Longhorns the ball on the 20. Klein had led an impressive drive from the Kansas State 1 to the Texas 17, converting three third-down plays. But on the first play after Phillips pick, Johnson caught McCoys swing pass and sprinted 70 yards before stepping out on the 10. Kansas States defence pushed the Longhorns back 10 yards in three plays and Nick Jordan kicked a 37-yard field goal.

Morneau complained of pain Monday in the wrist he had surgically repaired last October.

The Michigan guard is trying to prove he can pass, too. Hardaway Jr. had 17 points and a career-high seven assists to help the 2nd-ranked Wolverines rout Eastern Michigan 93-54 Thursday night. "Im trying to mix up my game because I dont want to be just a 3-point shooter," he said. "There are more things I can do to score the ball, and there are things I can do to make passes." The Wolverines other guard, Trey Burke, had 11 points and eight assists with only one turnover in his latest strong performance. "Michigan has one of the best backcourts in the nation," Eagles coach Rob Murphy said. The Wolverines (12-0) are off to their best start since winning the first 16 games of the 1985-86 season. "I really like winning," coach John Beilein said after downplaying the feat. "It beats the alternative." The Eagles (6-4) have lost two straight since beating Purdue. Earlier this month, they lost to No. 3 Syracuse 84-48, giving Murphy an up-close look at two of college basketballs best teams. "Syracuse is extremely athletic with great size," said Murphy, a former Orange assistant. "Michigan has some great shooters and they are really efficient. "Both teams have great point guards." Michigan trailed Eastern Michigan 6-2 in the opening minutes, then took control with a 20-0 run. "Ive never coached against a team who can shoot the ball at a high rate like Michigan does," Murphy said. "Every position outside of the (centre) can really shoot." The Wolverines led 40-24 at halftime and enjoyed an even bigger cushion for much of the second half. "I thought our focus was incredible," Beilein said. Michigans Nik Stauskas made three 3-pointers in the first half and finished wiith 16 points, while fellow freshmen Mitch McGary had 10 points and 11 rebounds for his first double-double and Glenn Robinson III added 13 points. Wholesale Jerseys. Burke, the reigning Big Ten player of the week, took the ball from Jalen Ross on the first possession of the game and made a layup. Ross responded with a 3-pointer and Glen Bryant made another shot from beyond the arc to give the Eagles a four-point lead that proved to be their highlight of the night. Michigan used a balanced offence and aggressive defence to build a 22-6 lead. The Wolverines then seemed to show some mercy -- briefly playing five freshmen, including two that seldom play -- and didnt add much to their lead in the first half. Eastern Michigans Daylen Harrison scored 13 points and Bryant had 10. Ross had nine points in the first half but the rest of the Eagles starters scored just seven combined. Ross didnt score after halftime, missing all five of his shots. Jordan Morgan made a low-post shot and a mid-range jumper on Michigans first two possessions of the second half. The Wolverines led by 30-plus points with 14 minutes left and coasted to another lopsided victory. "We let a couple teams come back on us early in the season, but we didnt want that to happen again," Hardaway said. "Its a matter of mental focus and preparation. We know that we have to keep playing when we get a lead." After beating No. 25 North Carolina State by seven points, Michigan won its next five games -- against Bradley, Western Michigan, Arkansas, Binghamton and West Virginia -- by an average of 19-plus points to reach its highest ranking since the 1992-93 season, the second year of the Fab Five era. The Wolverines have a long break and one more tuneup -- Dec. 29 at home against Central Michigan -- before facing Big Ten competition. "We still have a lot of work to do," Beilein said. ' ' '
