ADRIAN MARTINEZ

Week 9 of the college football season has three matchups between top-25 opponents, highlighted by No. 3 Tennessee facing No. 19 Kentucky and No. 2 Ohio State at No. 13 Penn State.

17 Kansas State 38-28 on Saturday night to take over sole possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference. Deuce Vaughn's 47-yard run for his first touchdown in five games capped the fourth consecutive TD drive for the K-State. After Kansas State missed a field goal attempt, the Frogs needed only four plays before Duggan's long TD to Johnston. TCU: The Frogs had lost three in a row to Kansas State without scoring more than 17 points in any of those games. Kansas State is sure to drop some, but should still be ranked when the new poll comes out Sunday.

Max Duggan threw for 280 yards with three touchdowns and Kendre Miller ran for 153 yards and two scores as eighth-ranked TCU again rallied from a big early deficit to stay undefeated.

Adrian Martinez strung together one of the best games of his college career on Saturday night as he helped Kansas State upset No. 6 Oklahoma.

NORMAN, Okla. — (AP) — Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez ran for 148 yards and four touchdowns, and the Wildcats stunned No. Martinez scored his third touchdown run of the game from 15 yards out to put Kansas State up 34-20 over Oklahoma with 8 minutes to play. Gabriel found Brayden Willis for a 1-yard touchdown pass with 4:36 remaining to cut Kansas State's lead to 34-27. Gabriel found Willis for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds left, and the Sooners cut the deficit to 41-34. Oklahoma: The Sooners' defense, which was tough during nonconference play, surrendered 509 total yards and 275 yards rushing.

Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez ran for 148 yards and four touchdowns, and the Wildcats stunned No. 6 Oklahoma 41-34.

For the third time in four seasons, Kansas State has knocked off Oklahoma. This time, the combination of Adrian Martinez and Deuce Vaughn was too much for the No. On the heels of an ugly home loss to Tulane, Kansas State was sharp from the opening kickoff. Kansas State, though, seized control later in the second quarter and took a 24-17 lead into the break. He just did it in a different uniform and added to the recent trend of Kansas State being a major thorn in Oklahoma’s side.

Texas offensive lineman Christian Jones remembers walking up to Bijan Robinson not long ago and asking for a lift, figuring it was least the All-American running back could do for one of the big guys doing all the blocking. “For sure, you have the haves and the have-nots,” said Jake Brandon, who founded a NIL collective at BYU to help put some extra money in the pockets of Cougar athletes. According to the NIL platform INFLCR, the average transaction involving a college football player is $3,396, while a similar platform called Athliance puts it at $3,391.

Tigers Athletics Baseball Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Drew Hutchison throws against the Oakland Athletics in the ninth inning of a baseball game in Detroit, Tuesday, May 10, 2022. Under MLB's original schedule announced last year, Detroit was to have played three games at Oakland from April 4-6 in its second series of the season. The Tigers reverted to the home team in the second game. Derek Hill's sacrifice fly ended Detroit's scoreless streak, and Robbie Grossman beat out a potential double-play grounder as Castro scored. Oakland's RHP Adrian Martinez was to make his major league debut against Detroit's Alex Faedo (0-0, 3.60), making his second big league start.

Nebraska has not officially named its starting quarterback but all indications point to it being Texas transfer Casey Thompson.

The San Diego Padres have acquired left-hander Sean Manaea in a trade with the Oakland Athletics.

Casey Thompson, who started 10 games and passed for 24 touchdowns for Texas last season, opened Nebraska's spring practice Monday as its No. 1 quarterback. “I think he's the best one right now,” new offensive coordinator Mark Whipple said. Among the Cornhuskers' priorities is sorting out the quarterback situation following Adrian Martinez's transfer to Kansas State.

Spencer Petras plunged 2 yards for a touchdown with 2:58 left to give 17th-ranked Iowa its first lead, and the Hawkeyes came back from a 15-point deficit in the third quarter to beat Nebraska 28-21.

Ohio State (8-1, 6-0 Big Ten) won its 24th straight game against a conference opponent but couldn't have impressed the committee that put it No. The Huskers (3-7, 1-6) dropped their fourth straight game and are assured of a fourth consecutive losing season under Scott Frost and a fifth in a row overall. His 3-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave and Smith-Njigba's 75-yard catch-and-run for a TD helped put the Buckeyes up 20-10 at half. The Buckeyes were forced to punt and Nebraska began its next possession at its 10 with 6:11 left. A Nebraska player shoved an Ohio State player in the chest before staff from both teams broke things up.

20 Michigan State unbeaten with a 23-20 win over Nebraska on Saturday night. The Spartans (4-0, 2-0 Big Ten) won despite not converting a first down in the second half. Nebraska committed four false start penalties in the first half, and Martinez fumbled the ball away in the second half. Michigan State: After squandering scoring opportunities in the first half, the Spartans couldn’t create enough chances after halftime. 18 Wisconsin mean Michigan State should move up.

Chester Kimbrough intercepted Adrian Martinez’s pass in overtime and Matt Coghlin made a 21-yard field goal to keep No. 20 Michigan State unbeaten with a 23-20 win over Nebraska.

Spencer Rattler passed for a touchdown and ran for another to help No. 3 Oklahoma beat Nebraska 23-16.

Nine of the 14 Big Ten football teams appear set at quarterback heading into the fall.

5 Ohio State shook off the rust in the first half and then buried Nebraska the rest of the way. Then came Fields' nifty touchdown run and a 55-yard scoop and score by Buckeyes cornerback Sevyn Banks, and Ohio State had it under control. “That's one heck of a run right there," Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. It is believed to be the smallest crowd to watch an Ohio State game since sometime before 1910. Ohio State: Faces No.
