Norman, OK (Sports Network) - John Hubert rushed 23 times for 130 yards, including a decisive 9-yard score in the fourth quarter, as No. 15 Kansas State defeated No. 6 Oklahoma, 24-19, on Saturday at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Kansas State trailed 13-10 entering the final quarter, but got a 5-yard touchdown run from Collin Klein early in the frame to take a four-point lead.

After a quick three-and-out from the Sooners, Hubert capped an 8-play, 77-yard drive with his touchdown surge to give the Wildcats a two-score edge.

Landry Jones responded by hitting Sterling Shepard for a 10-yard scoring strike, but OU elected to kick it deep and Klein was able to run out the clock with a pair of third-down conversions to seal the victory.

Klein finished 13-of-21 passing for 149 yards, while also rushing 17 times for 79 yards a score for the Wildcats (4-0, 1-0 Big 12), who won for the first time in Norman since 1997.

Jones passed for 298 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 28-of-43 passing, while Shepard hauled in seven passes for 108 yards and a score, as the Sooners (2-1, 0-1 Big 12) lost their first regular-season contest against KSU under coach Bob Stoops.
