Kansas State 31, CU 28: Four turnovers (to none by K State) are killers. Buffs fall to No. 17.

CU 34, No. 3 Oklahoma 24: OLB James Harrison gets a sack, forces a fumble and recovers one along with seven tackles. Oklahoma's Aaron Richardson gets 360 passing yards, but it takes him 52 passes to do it and gets picked off twice.

Cal Harrell gets his second straight 3,100-yard passing season with 25 Tds.

Eddie King inches over 1,000 rushing yards before taking his 97 speed to the pros.

Brian Perry racks up another 60-catch season and the other receiver, Russell Carter, wins Returner of the Year with a ridiculous six kicks returned for scores.

Recruiting class is another top-10 job, leading Coach Nibble to impose house rules against anything over a three-star recruit unless he's a pipeline guy.
