Football Falls To Kansas In Second Overtime, 34-31 

Kingsbury pulls Tech back from a 10-0 deficit to a half time lead by throwing two touchdown passes.

LUBBOCK, Texas - Freshman Johnny Beck kicked his fourth field goal in the second overtime as Kansas rallied for a 34-31 win over Texas Tech on Saturday night. 

Trailing 24-13 in the third quarter, the Jayhawks (2-2, 1-1 Big 12) rallied with two scores in a span of 4:11 to send the game into overtime. Beck kicked a 44-yard field goal and Mario Kinsey threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Termaine Fulton. Reggie Duncan's run for the 2-point conversion tied the game at 24. 

Kinsey put Kansas ahead in the first overtime with a 9-yard pass for a 31-24 lead. But the Red Raiders (2-2, 0-2) tied it on a 9-yard quarterback draw by B.J. Symons, who entered in the fourth quarter after starter Kliff Kingsbury sprained his right thumb. 

Beck then kicked a 37-yard field goal for the go-ahead points and Marcus Rogers secured the victory for the Jayhawks by intercepting Symons' pass on Tech's second overtime possession. 

Beck is 9-for-10 on field-goal attempts this season. His only miss came on a 48-yard attempt that hit the left upright in the fourth quarter. 

Kingsbury pulled Tech back from a 10-0 deficit to a 17-13 halftime lead with touchdown passes of 3 yards to Cole Roberts with 30 seconds left in the first quarter and 35 yards to Wes Welker early in the second quarter. 

Kingsbury's third touchdown pass came with 3:26 to go in the third quarter, a 24-yard screen pass to Ricky Williams, giving the Raiders a 24-13 lead. 

Robert Treece kicked a 27-yard field goal for Kansas with 4:55 left in the first half and Beck kicked a 42-yarder with 1:57 to go. 

The Jayhawks drove 78 yards on the first drive of the game and scored on Zach Dyer's 1-yard pass to Austine Nwabuisi. Reggie Duncan's 45-yard run to the Tech 25 was the big gainer. 

Moments later, Carl Ivey blocked a Tech field goal attempt and Andrew Davidson ran it back 36 yards to the Tech 34 setting up Beck's 42-yard field goal. 

Middle linebacker Lawrence Flugence, the Red Raiders' leading tackler, sprain his knee in the first quarter and did not return.
