FORT WORTH, Texas -- Oklahoma State running back Chris Carson bulled through one defender and then broke two tackles for his touchdown. Chris Lacy almost dragged another TCU player into the end zone on a long catch-and-run that set up another score.After running all over TCU in a 31-6 victory Saturday, the No. 11 Cowboys will be playing for the Big 12 championship in their next game. They have won seven in a row since losing their conference opener at Baylor.Its just been a great stretch for us, said Mason Rudolph, who ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score. Its a good position to be in.The Cowboys (9-2, 7-1, No. 13 AP) became the first team with two 100-yard rushers against TCU since 2007. Freshman running back Justice Hill (154 yards on 16 carries) and Carson (146 yards on 17 carries) combined for 182 yards after halftime when Oklahoma State added to a 10-6 lead.I told our team that in 2006-07-08-09, thats how we used to finish games. Thats what we were known for around here a long time, coach Mike Gundy said. It makes it a lot easier for me to sleep when we know we can run the ball.And its a big reason the Cowboys, who finished with 334 yards rushing and 541 overall, can become Big 12 champions if they beat Oklahoma in their regular-season finale after an open date.Oklahoma State scored on its only two drives in the third quarter to go ahead 24-6. Carson had his bruising 19-yard TD run and Rudolph scored on a 2-yard keeper after a 63-yard catch-and-run by Lacy , who dragged a defender almost 15 yards before finally being brought down.I was just trying so hard to drag him into the end zone, said Lacy, inspired by Carsons hard-running style. I was trying to do the same thing. He just brings some physicality to the team and its spreading.TCU (5-5, 3-4) had a chance to take the lead in the final minute of the first half after a 40-yard run by quarterback Kenny Hill . But Kyle Hicks took direct snaps in a wildcat formation on consecutive plays from the 1, getting stopped short on a third-down run and then overthrowing an open receiver.The Frogs, who have two more chances to get bowl eligible, suffered their most lopsided home loss in their 16 seasons under Gary Patterson. It was Pattersons 200th game as head coach.We definitely got our butts kicked. It was embarrassing, said Hicks, who was held to 47 yards on 25 carries after he had 192 yards and five TDs against Baylor in TCUs previous game. You just have to make sure you bounce back next week and be more prepared.THE TAKEAWAYOklahoma State: Gundy and the Cowboys won their only Big 12 title five years ago. And they werent going to be denied a chance at another. After their last two wins by a combined seven points, the Cowboys responded with 31 unanswered points following TCUs only score. Rudolph is 21-5 as their starting quarterback.TCU: There were more designed runs as expected for Hill (eight carries for 79 yards), but he threw two interceptions. The Horned Frogs were coming off a 40-point win over Baylor in their previous game two weeks ago, but reverted back to the kind of inconsistent play that hampered them in losing three of four before that and escaping Kansas with a one-point win.HE SAID ITIm not even mad. Im embarrassed because we got our butt kicked. Simple as that. Im not just talking about the players. Its our job as coaches to find the answers. Im embarrassed for them and for me, Patterson said.SETUP RECEIVERLacy had four catches for 109 yards, including a 3-yard TD in the first quarter that put Oklahoma State ahead to stay. That score was set up by his leaping 30-yard catch with both hands extended over his head before he came down with a foot in bounds.POLL IMPLICATIONSOklahoma State could move up a spot or two , but is in position to make a significant move in the final poll of the regular season if it wins that game and the Big 12 title.UP NEXTOklahoma State finishes the regular season with Bedlam at No. 9 Oklahoma on Dec. 3.TCU goes to Texas on Friday.

Sneakers Nz Cheap . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose.SEATTLE -- Jozy Altidore continued his scoring run. Eddie Johnson earned a moment to remember getting a goal before his raucous home crowd that matched the hype that came with playing a World Cup qualifier in Seattle. It became a perfect night for the United States to collect three points and vault into first place halfway to another World Cup trip. Altidore scored in the first half, his third straight match with a goal, Eddie Johnson thrilled his home club fans with a score in the 53rd minute, and the United States took over first place in its World Cup qualifying group with a 2-0 win over Panama on Tuesday. "Right now were having fun. But most importantly were on the same page and have one common goal which is qualifying for the World Cup," Johnson said. "Weve got one more game to put ourselves in a good position to make that happen." Altidore scored in the 36th minute on a perfect cross from Fabian Johnson, moments after a potential penalty kick for the Americans was denied. Eddie Johnson then gave the U.S. some cushion when he collected Geoff Camerons pass over the top of Panamas defence and slid a left-footed shot past Jaime Penedo less than 10 minutes into the second half. "Obviously very pleased with our performance," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "Throughout the entire game, we were in control of every area on the field. The guys did their job." The U.S. holds a two-point lead over Costa Rica and Mexico in the qualifying group in the 10-game final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region. They will host Honduras next Tuesday night in Sandy, Utah. The U.S. improved to 9-1-2 all-time against Panama and is 22-0-2 in home qualifiers since losing to Honduras in September 2001 at RFK Stadium. They are 36-1-7 since losing to Costa Rica in 1985 at Torrance Calif. The match was played before 40,847, the seventh-largest crowd for a World Cup qualifier in U.S. soccer history, in exactly the atmosphere U.S. Soccer hoped it would get by playing the qualifier in Seattle. Giving Seattle the match came with logistical obstacles -- none bigger than a temporary grass field that was far from ideal -- but a huge pro-American crowd, most of which stood the entire match, made up for the questionable surface. They were rewarded with an impressive performance by the U.S. that built off its late winner in Jamaica last Friday. The Americans (3-1-1) are two points clear of Costa Rica (2-2-1) and Mexico (1-0-5) who played to a 0-0 tie in Mexico City earlier Tuesday. The U.S. also haas a game in hand on Mexico.dddddddddddd "Best crowd Ive played in in the United States, without a doubt," midfielder Michael Bradley said. "People dont know what a difference it makes when you play in an atmosphere like this." Altidore scored for a third consecutive match after goals in wins over Germany and Jamaica. He appeared to earn a penalty kick in the 34th minute when he was chopped down in the penalty area by Roman Torres after a quick turn. Referee Roberto Garcia quickly decided he wasnt awarding a penalty kick, although replays clearly showed Torres never got the ball. Any uproar over the non-call was replaced moments later by deafening cheers. Bradley ran free through the middle of the field and played a ball into space for Johnson to run on. Johnson didnt take a touch, immediately sending a cross through the box. Penedo was forced to stay in his net with Clint Dempsey making a run to the near post and his dive to deflect the cross was late. Altidore was wide open at the back post for his 16th national team goal. "I know how forwards think. These guys live for goals. They can give the same performance, but if one game they score, in the other game they dont, theyre going to be happy when they score," Bradley said. "Hes such an important guy for our team, even on nights when he doesnt (score)." The cushion the U.S. needed came early in the second half. Cameron played a perfect pass over the top to Johnson, who timed his run to stay onside. He controlled the pass with his right foot, then deftly slid his shot past Penedos charge for his 11th career goal in World Cup qualifying. "I saw Geoff had time with the ball and it was on his strong foot. ... I knew I could make a run in behind and I like my chances running without the ball behind the defence," Johnson said. Panama nearly got an equalizer in first-half stoppage time when Luis Tejada slipped free behind the U.S. defence and scored on Tim Howard, but the offside flag was up before Tejadas shot was in the net. Panama nearly scored in second-half stoppage time, but Howard deflected Rolando Blackburns shot. Cameron and Eddie Johnson were the two changes Klinsmann was forced to make to his lineup. Jermaine Jones (concussion) and Graham Zusi (suspension) were unavailable and the U.S. changed to a 4-2-3-1 alignment to bring on Cameron and Johnson. Panama (1-1-3), which played to a 0-0 draw against Mexico last Friday at home, played without top scorer Blas Perez, who missed the game with gastroenteritis. ' ' '
