LUBBOCK, Texas — By the time they emerged from the locker room, the Kansas State Wildcats were no longer talking about their frustrations. That emotion had left their psyche long ago.

No, after losing to Texas Tech in humiliating fashion 66-14 on Saturday night at Jones AT&T Stadium, they needed a much stronger word to describe their feelings.

Coach Bill Snyder and his players tossed around more than a few in the aftermath of their worst defeat of the season, but to put it simply they felt disgusted.

LAWRENCE — Fresh off another career day that saw them trade the school's career receptions record in the span of a few minutes, Kansas wide receivers Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe entered the locker room after No. 16 KU's 41-36 victory over Iowa State and began trading jokes.

"Just about who's on top right now," Meier said.

Elsewhere in the room, the Kansas defensive players sat silent. Defensive end Jake Laptad said nobody spoke up after the Jayhawks gave up 512 yards.

PHILADELPHIA — It happens in the NFL almost weekly: A veteran gets hurt and a younger player gets his chance.

Sometimes the veteran returns to assume his spot, other times he does not and the change becomes "the moment when one player began to descend and the other started to rise.

Last week, might have been that moment for Kevin Curtis and Jeremy Maclin, the University of Missouri product. For the second straight game, Maclin will start at wide receiver in place of the injured Curtis.

The Wichita Thunder's feel-good preseason continued with a 3-2 shootout victory over the expansion Missouri Mavericks on Saturday night.

After last season's 20-41-3 showing, second-year coach Brent Bilodeau seemingly improved recruiting efforts dramatically, signing several players who have excited the fan base.

The enthusiasm likely only increased with the Thunder's 3-0 victory on Friday, followed by the shootout win in front of a standing room-only crowd of more than 700 fans at the Wichita Ice Center. It marks the first time since 1992-93, the franchise's first year, that the Thunder has won two exhibition games.

Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford wasn't sure how his injured shoulder would hold up to a full day's work.

After 49 throws in No. 19 Oklahoma's 33-7 win against Baylor on Saturday in Norman, Okla., Bradford is ready for next week's rivalry game against No. 2 Texas in Dallas.

"I think that's something that we were all curious around here is how I would react to 3 1/2-4 hours in my pads, on and off, not throwing the whole time, kind of sitting on the bench, coming back and making some throws," Bradford said. "I felt like my arm responded great, and I felt good out there."

ARCADIA, Calif. —Zenyatta did it again, running her record to 13-0 with a victory in the $300,000 Lady's Secret Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita.

The stellar mare tied Personal Ensign's record streak of 13 consecutive wins set 20 years ago.

Ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, Zenyatta covered 1 1/16 miles on the synthetic Pro-Ride surface in 1:42.89. Sent off as the 2-5 wagering favorite, she won by 1 1-4 lengths and paid $2.80, $2.40 and $2.10.
