STILLWATER, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- If Todd Reesing wasn't alreadya Heisman Trophy contender, he should be following Saturday'sperformance.


Reesing threw three touchdown passes to Marcus Henry to lead No.5 Kansas to its 10th straight win, a 43-28 triumph overOklahoma State in a matchup of Big 12 Conference foes.

With top-ranked Ohio State losing to Illinois earlier, Kansas(10-0, 6-0 Big 12 North) and Hawaii are the only remainingundefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Hawaii hostsFresno State later Saturday.


Kansas is off to its first 10-0 start since 1899.


Reesing, who was coming off a six-touchdown performance a weekago against Nebraska, completed 27-of-40 passes for 313 yards.The sophomore signal-caller now has 26 touchdown passes thisseason against just four interceptions.


Reesing's day got off to a good start when he found Henry in theback corner of the end zone for a five-yard touchdown to givethe Jayhawks a 7-0 edge with 6:35 remaining in the firstquarter.


It remained a close contest until Kansas broke the game openearly in the third quarter, when Reesing connected with Henry onan 82-yard scoring strike. Reesing fired a post pattern toHenry, who made a pair of defenders miss before racing down thefield to extend the lead to 27-14 with 12:33 left.

Henry, who enjoyed the first multi-touchdown game of his career,made eight catches for a career-high 199 yards.


Brandon McAnderson's second touchdown of night - a 12-yard run -gave Kansas a 33-14 advantage midway through the third.McAnderson also plowed into the end zone from four yards out inthe first half and finished with 132 yards on 25 carries.

Zac Robinson helped the Cowboys (5-5, 3-3 South) battle back,leading back-to-back scoring drives to close the deficit to33-28 early in the fourth quarter.


Robinson connected with Tommy Devereaux on a 39-yard touchdownstrike and then ran in a three-yard score on the ensuing drive.

Reesing, however, led the Jayhawks right back down the field andcapped an 11-play drive with a four-yard touchdown pass toHenry to grab a 40-28 lead with 8:26 to play.


On Oklahoma State's ensuing drive, Robinson was intercepted bycornerback Aqib Talib, which set up Scott Webb's 23-yard fieldgoal to provide the final margin. Kansas' defense then made afourth-down stand to seal the win.

STILLWATER, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- If Todd Reesing wasn't alreadya Heisman Trophy contender, he should be following Saturday'sperformance.


Reesing threw three touchdown passes to Marcus Henry to lead No.5 Kansas to its 10th straight win, a 43-28 triumph overOklahoma State in a matchup of Big 12 Conference foes.

With top-ranked Ohio State losing to Illinois earlier, Kansas(10-0, 6-0 Big 12 North) and Hawaii are the only remainingundefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Hawaii hostsFresno State later Saturday.


"It was an outstanding performance on the part of our players,"Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "Todd Reesing played wellagain. Brandon McAnderson continues to play well for us. Theoffensive line continues to pass-protect and run-block verywell."


Kansas is off to its first 10-0 start since 1899.


"It's awesome, it's unbelievable," Reesing said of the team'sstart to the season. "To be at this point in the season and beundefeated is beyond our wildest dreams"


Reesing, who was coming off a six-touchdown performance a weekago against Nebraska, completed 27-of-40 passes for 313 yards.The sophomore signal-caller now has 26 touchdown passes thisseason against just four interceptions.

Henry, who enjoyed the first multi-touchdown game of his career,made eight catches for a career-high 199 yards.


"Marcus Henry, coming back to his home state, had a big nighttonight and I am very happy for him," Mangino said. "He is ayoung man that just wanted an opportunity to play Division Ifootball. We gave it to him and he has made the most of it."

Brandon McAnderson's second touchdown of night - a 12-yard run -gave Kansas a 33-14 advantage midway through the third.McAnderson also plowed into the end zone from four yards out inthe first half and finished with 132 yards on 25 carries.

Reesing, however, led the Jayhawks right back down the field andcapped an 11-play drive with a four-yard touchdown pass toHenry to grab a 40-28 lead with 8:26 to play.


"We were moving the ball well all night and that drive wasdefinitely a huge drive because it got us a little bit more of alead and a little more of a comfort level," Reesing said.

On Oklahoma State's ensuing drive, Robinson was intercepted bycornerback Aqib Talib, which set up Scott Webb's 23-yard fieldgoal to provide the final margin. Kansas' defense then made afourth-down stand to seal the win.


"I give Kansas a lot of credit," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundysaid. "They did tonight what they've done all year long: madeno mistakes, had very few penalties and took care of thefootball. They did a nice job on offense of mixing the run andpass."
