KANSAS STATE 30, OKLAHOMA 42 October 31, 2009 • Norman, Okla. • Memorial Stadium Attendance: 84,021
SCORING SUMMARY GAME NOTES The 84,021 fans in attendance on Saturday evening at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium marked the largest crowd to see a K-State game this season. Brandon Banks returned six kickoffs for a career high 195 yards and one touchdown. It was his fourth kickoff return for a touchdown this season, which broke the Big 12 record... It was also the fifth of his career, which is one shy of the NCAA record (Clemson’s C.J. Spiller has six). Banks improved his school record total for kick return yardage on Saturday to 953 yards on 30 returns (31.8 yards/return). Running back Daniel Thomas rushed 16 times for 88 yards and a touchdown. Thomas also completed two passes in the third quarter, one to Jeron Mastrud on a two-point conversion and a 41-yard pass to Brandon Banks. True freshman defensive back Darious Thomas ended the contest with a career best seven tackles... He came into the game with just one career tackle, which he collected against Texas A&M. Troy Butler also set a career high in tackles with nine. Josh Cherry converted a 31yard field goal to end the scoring in the first half. After beginning the season just 2for-7, Cherry has now converted his last five field goal attempts and is perfect on his attempts in Big 12 action.

GAME 9 NORMAN, Okla. - Senior Brandon Banks tied the KState school record with 351 all-purpose yards, including 98 on his fifth career kickoff return for a touchdown, but it wasn't enough as the Wildcats fell to No. 22 Oklahoma, 42-30, at Memorial Stadium. Banks totaled 195 yards on six kickoff returns to go with nine catches for 156 yards against the Sooners. The 351 all-purpose yards tied Darren Sproles' school record, which he set against Louisiana on Sept. 18, 2004. Banks, who helped the Wildcats' close the gap with his return, increased his Big 12 and school records with his fifth career kickoff return and fourth this season. K-State (5-4, 3-2 Big 12) fell behind 21-0 to Oklahoma (5-3, 3-1 Big 12), but rallied to within five points on two occasions, including 35-30 after Banks' 98-yard return. However, the Sooners put the game away with a 3-yard run by DeMarco Murray with 6:27 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Sooners stopped Kansas State on downs at the K-State 41 with 4:10 left and Quinton Carter intercepted a pass from Grant Gregory at the Oklahoma 2 with 42 seconds left. Despite the loss, the Wildcat offense totaled 30 points on the stingy Sooner defense, which previous opponent high was 21 points against Miami. The squad tallied 364 yards of total offense, including 215 through the air, and posted 20 first downs. K-State also remained atop the conference's North Division. Senior quarterback Grant Gregory was solid on the night, completing 19-of-30 passes for 174 yards to go with 46 yards on the ground on nine carries. It marked season-high for Gregory in passing yards, completions and attempts. Junior running back Daniel Thomas, who is 98 yards from 1,000 yards this season, rushed for 88 yards on 16 carries. He also completed one pass for 41 yards and had a 2-point conversion to Jeron Mastrud on the Wildcats' second touchdown. Senior running back Keithen Valentine had just four carries, but two of those went for scores, including a 14-yard scamper on fourth-andone in the third quarter.
