a touchdown on a whopping 43
carries to lead the Cyclones to a 23-
20 victory over Kansas.
Davis became just the sixth
player in school history to rush for
more than 1,000 yards in consecu
tive seasons, a feat last accom
plished by his brother, Troy.
Rideau, who was coming off a
two-interception game against
Baylor, made eight tackles, seven
of them unassisted, recovered a
fumble and broke up two passes
as the Sooners overcame a 10-0
deficit in the first half to beat
Texas Tech 20-17.
Kohl’s career-long 54-yard field
goal provided the margin of victo
ry in ISLJ’s win over Kansas.
In his final college game, the
senior also booted field goals of
29 and 47 yards and made two
extra points. He also put three
kickoffs into the end zone.
