Corey Coleman (Baylor), Patrick Mahomes (Texas Tech), Zack Sanchez (Oklahoma) and Daje Johnson (Texas) were named Big 12 Football Players of the Week by a panel of media that covers the Conference.

Mahomes (offense) was recognized for the second-consecutive week and third time in his career. Coleman (offense) and Sanchez (defense) were each honored for the second time while Johnson (special teams) picked up his first career award.

Big 12 Offensive Co-Players of the Week
Corey Coleman, Baylor, WR, Jr, Richardson, Texas

Corey Coleman had six catches for 182 yards and a school-record four touchdowns in No. 4 Baylor’s 66-31 win over Lamar. His touchdown grabs covered 42, 21, 61 and 34 yards. Coleman leads the country in receiving yards (180 ypg) and touchdown catches (5). The junior posted his sixth-career 100-yard receiving game for the ninth-most in program history. His 182 receiving yards tied for the 12th-most in a game and second-highest in his career (224 yards at Oklahoma in 2014). Coleman has 18 career TD receptions for seventh on BU’s all-time list and he became the eighth Bears receiver to eclipse 2,000 career receiving yards (2,006). He also took over the school record for average receiving yards per game (80.24). Coleman leads the Big 12 in scoring with 15.0 points and is second in all-purpose yards with 182.5 per contest.

Big 12 Offensive Co-Players of the Week
Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech, QB, So, Whitehouse, Texas

Patrick Mahomes accounted for six touchdowns with four passing and two rushing in Texas Tech’s 69-20 win over UTEP. He completed 18 of 33 passes for 361 yards, including 297 yards in the first half alone, and had no interceptions. The sophomore also ran for 27 yards on six carries. Mahomes has now thrown for 300 or more yards and four or more touchdown passes in five-consecutive games. Over the first six starts of his career, he has thrown for 2,214 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Mahomes leads the nation in points responsible for (60), ranks No. 2 nationally in total offense per game (428.5), passing yards (786), passing yards per game (393.0) and passing touchdowns (8).

Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week
Zack Sanchez, Oklahoma, CB, Jr, Fort Worth, Texas

Sanchez recorded six tackles, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hurry and the game-clinching interception in No. 17/19 Oklahoma’s 31-24 come-from-behind double-overtime win at No. 23 Tennessee. The interception was the ninth of the junior cornerback’s career and marked the final play of the game as OU rallied from a 17-0 deficit. The team trailed 17-3 with less than nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. Sanchez helped the Sooners’ defense hold the Volunteers to just 125 passing yards (4.0 yards per attempt) and 254 total yards (3.3 yards per play).

Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week
Daje Johnson, Texas, PR/KR, Sr, Pflugerville, Texas

Johnson returned three punts for 119 yards, including an 85-yard touchdown and a separate 31-yard return that setup another TD. His 85-yarder marked a tie for the fourth-longest punt return in school history, matching his 85-yard TD vs. Oklahoma in 2013. Johnson became just the eighth player at UT to record at least two career punt returns for a touchdown and moved into a tie for fourth on the Longhorn career chart for most punt returns for a TD with two. The school career record of three is shared by three players. The senior added a kickoff return for 35 yards to record a team-best 154 all-purpose yards on just four touches (38.5 avg). Johnson currently leads the Big 12 in punt return average (24.4) and ranks fourth in all-purpose average (133.0 ypg).

K-STATE RETURNS HOME FOR FINAL NON-CONFERENCE TEST
Following another stellar performance on defense in a 30-3 win at UTSA, Kansas State returns home on Saturday to wrap up non-conference play as Louisiana Tech visits Bill Snyder Family Stadium in a FOX Sports Net-televised matchup. The game, which kicks off at 2 p.m., will be shown across the nation on FSN with Brendan Burke (play-by-play), former Wildcat great Ben Leber (analyst) and Christian Steckel (sideline) on the call. The game can also be heard across the K-State Sports Network with Wyatt Thompson (play-by-play), Stan Weber (analyst) and Matt Walters (sideline) on the call.
A LOOK AT K-STATE

• Guided by 2015 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Bill Snyder, K-State has opened the season with two wins and a defense that has yielded a total of just three points.
• The shutout in the opener marked the third for the Wildcats since Snyder returned in 2009 and also was the first shutout in a season opener since 1999.
• Last week, the Cats held UTSA to just 229 total yards, including just 72 in the second half. UTSA was coming off a school-record 525 yards the previous week at No. 22 Arizona.
• The last time K-State held two straight opponents to a total of three points was back in 2002 following a 48-3 win over Western Kentucky to open the season and a 64-0 blanking of ULM the next week.
• A 100-yard kickoff return from Morgan Burns to open the 2015 season sparked the Cats in the opener and was believed to be the first return for a score to open a season.

A LOOK AT LOUISIANA TECH

• The Bulldogs enter the game with a 1-1 record and a very prolific offense, averaging 583.5 yards a game including 215.0 on the ground and 368.5 through the air.

A LOOK AT THE SERIES

• K-State leads the series, 2-1, following a 40-7 win in 2001, a 54-10 win in 2000 and a 31-28 loss in 1988.
• The 2001 game was originally scheduled to be played on Sept. 15, but it was postponed until Nov. 17 due to the terror attacks that year.

  NON-CONFERENCE NOTABLES

• Since 1990, K-State has won 71 of its 80 (.888) regular-season non-conference games under Bill Snyder, including 61-of-65 (.938) at home.

The Junction City Lady Jay volleyball team went 4-2 in the William Chrisman Tournament in Independence, Mo.  on Saturday to finish third out of seven teams.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis hit his league-leading 42nd home run, Jonathan Schoop added a pair of solo shots and the Baltimore Orioles took the three-game series against the Kansas City Royals with an 8-2 victory Sunday night.

The Orioles have won four of their past five as they try to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Royals lost seven of nine and dropped their third straight series for the first time this season.

Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (9-7) kept the Royals off-balance with his slider and changeup. He allowed two runs on six hits with two strikeouts over seven innings.

Schoop had three hits and has 14 home runs on the season. Adam Jones had two hits, including his 27th homer, with four RBI.

Royals right-hander Johnny Cueto (2-6) lost his fifth straight start. He allowed a season-high eight runs on 11 hits with three strikeouts and one walk over 6 1/3 innings. He tied a career-high by allowing four homers and has given up 28 runs over his past 26 1/3 innings.

Cueto’s struggles began in the first when Manny Machado walked and Chris Davis singled before Jones delivered a towering 450-foot shot to center. The Royals pulled to within 3-2 in the second when Salvador Perez and Alex Rios hit a pair of two-out doubles followed by a single by Alcides Escobar.

Schoop responded by delivering solo homers in the second and fourth innings to boost Baltimore’s margin to 5-2. Cueto has given up three home runs in a game twice this season-both times against the Orioles.

Davis added the fourth homer against Cueto with another solo shot in the sixth and Baltimore led 6-2. Meanwhile, Chen retired 10 in a row before allowing a double to Perez in the seventh.

The Orioles added a seventh run that inning on a fielder’s choice by Machado that ended Cueto’s night. Louis Coleman entered and allowed an RBI-single to Jones.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Royals: Right-hander Louis Coleman left with two outs in the eighth with an undisclosed injury.

Orioles: C Matt Wieters was behind the plate for the second straight night after missing the previous two games with a sore left wrist. It was just the third time this season Wieters caught back-to-back games.

ON DECK

Royals: Edinson Volquez opens the four-game series Monday at Cleveland looking to extend his team-leading 13 wins. The right-hander also has a 3.49 ERA with 130 strikeouts over 29 starts.

Orioles: Right-hander Kevin Gausman faces Boston’s Eduardo Rodriguez in the series opener between the AL East foes. Gausman is looking for his first victory since Aug. 1.

RAUL DOMINGUEZ, Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Making his first career start at quarterback on any level, Joe Hubener led the Kansas State Wildcats to a 30-3 victory against the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday afternoon at the Alamodome.

The victory snapped Kansas State’s seven-game losing streak at indoor facilities. The Wildcats’ previous victory indoors was 1993 against Minnesota in the now-defunct Metrodome.

Hubener had a career-high 243 yards passing, completing 12 of 23 attempts, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.

He is taking over for Jesse Ertz, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on the third play of Kansas State’s opener last week.

UTSA’s (0-2) defense appeared to fluster Hubener early, sending multiple defenders on blitzes.

Hubener settled in after the initial drive, guiding Kansas State (2-0) to three straight scoring drives to open the second half.

The Wildcats amassed 418 total yards.

HOUSTON (AP) – Alex Smith threw for 243 yards and three touchdowns in the first half as the Kansas City Chiefs built a big lead and held on for a 27-20 victory over the mistake-prone Houston Texans on Sunday.

Travis Kelce caught two touchdown passes in the first quarter, the first one coming after Kansas City intercepted Brian Hoyer on his first throw as a Texan.

The Chiefs were up by 14 in the second quarter when Justin Houston sacked Hoyer, forcing a fumble. Kansas City recovered it and a 7-yard touchdown reception by Jamaal Charles pushed the lead to 27-6.

Hoyer struggled in his debut before Ryan Mallett took over with about six minutes left and led Houston on two scoring drives to cut the lead to a touchdown.
