Oklahoma State Takes Care Of Kansas 44-21
November 17, 2003 | Cowboy Football
Morency scored on runs of 19, 6 and 5 yards to help the Cowboys (8-3, 4-3 Big 12) rebound from consecutive blowout losses to No. 6 Texas and No. 1 Oklahoma.
Oklahoma State scored 21 points in the third quarter -- a period in which Morency rushed for 170 yards -- to pull away from Kansas after leading just 16-10 at halftime.
Kansas (5-6, 2-5) now must beat Iowa State next week at home to become bowl eligible for the first time since 1995. The Jayhawks lost their fourth straight game and 10th straight Big 12 road game and might have lost another quarterback.
Adam Barmann, making his third start for the injured Bill Whittemore, hurt his right ankle when Greg Richmond sacked him in the first quarter. He limped to the locker room and played just three series in the second half.
Brian Luke was 22-for-38 passing for 193 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in place of Barmann. Clark Green led Kansas with 77 yards on 18 carries.
Morency had rushes of 41, 24 and 20 yards in the pivotal third quarter as he replaced the injured Bell, the Big 12's leading rusher with 124 yards per game. Top reserve running back Seymore Shaw also missed the game with an injured thigh.
Oklahoma State scored on four of its five first half possessions, gaining 267 total yards, but had trouble getting the ball in the end zone. Luke Phillips kicked field goals from 34, 24 and 20 yards.
The offense got it going in the second half as Shawn Willis scored from 4 yards in the third quarter, and Rashaun Woods caught Josh Fields' pass for an 8-yard TD in the fourth quarter.
Kansas got two field goals from Jerod Brooks, and Moderick Johnson pulled Luke's pass in with one hand for a 13-yard second-quarter TD.
Luke hit Mark Simmons for a 19-yard score with less than a minute to play.
