COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Josh Freeman hit 21 of 26 passes
and ran for four touchdowns as Kansas State snapped its five-game
losing streak against Texas A&M with a 44-30 win over the Aggies.
Courtney Herndon returned a blocked punt for a touchdown for the
Wildcats (4-2, 1-1 Big 12), who moved the ball at will in the first
half and led 27-10 at the break.
Sophomore quarterback Jerrod Johnson tried to rally the Aggies,
but the comeback stalled when K-State's defense stuffed Jorvorskie
Lane twice at the goal line midway through the fourth quarter.
Freeman led a 98-yard drive the other way and sealed the win
using a short touchdown run with 4:37 left.
Starting again for the injured Stephen McGee, Johnson completed
29 of 41 passes for a school-record 419 yards. He also ran for a
score and finished with 487 yards, also a school record.
The Aggies (2-4) gave up 451 yards and dropped to 0-2 in the Big
12 for the first time.
