AMES, Iowa -- For weeks, Iowa State had quietly been improving.It all came together on Saturday for the Cyclones, who pummeled Texas Tech in one of the most stunning victories in school history -- and left the Red Raiders wondering about their own future.Quarterback Joel Lanning tied a school record with five rushing touchdowns, Jacob Park threw for 285 yards and two TDs and Iowa State clobbered Texas Tech 66-10 on Saturday.Nothing surprises me with our team. I think weve got a chance to do great things here, coach Matt Campbell said.Campbell might have been the only one in the stadium not shocked by the Cyclones.Lanning ran for 171 yards for Iowa State (3-8, 2-6 Big 12), which scored its most points since beating Colorado State 69-0 in 1980.The Cyclones entered play as a slight underdog, only to overwhelm the Red Raiders with a 45-3 halftime lead and set a school record for points in a Big 12 game.Iowa State scored touchdowns on five consecutive first-half possessions -- a stretch capped by Kamari Cotton-Moyas 48-yard interception return -- and racked up a program-best 31 points in the second quarter.Pat Mahomes had 219 yards passing for Tech (4-7, 2-6), which is guaranteed to finish with a losing record for the second time in four years under coach Kliff Kingsbury.All I can do is apologize. Its very disappointing. The program is disappointed. The players, the coaches. Its not acceptable to play like that and represent the university that way, Kingsbury said.THE TAKEAWAYTexas Tech: This was arguably the low point of Kingsburys tenure, which also includes an 82-27 loss to TCU in 2014. It was hard to believe that a team that came within a point of No. 13 Oklahoma State on the road last week could look as bad as the Red Raiders did. We just did not show up at all, Kingsbury said.Iowa State: For a fan base thats been searching for hope for over a decade, Saturdays performance was like a dream come true. Everything the Cyclones did worked -- and the result was perhaps the most dominant conference game the program has ever played. Iowa State still has a ways to go, but beating Tech by 56 points might buy Campbell an entire offseason of good will.LANNINGS MOMENTLanning had ceded the starting job to Park weeks ago. But the Cyclones still use him in rushing packages -- and the junior showed why against Texas Techs porous rush defense. Lanning was the first Iowa State player to run for five touchdowns since Troy Davis did it in 1996 against then-Division 1-AA Northern Iowa. We were just on with everything, Lanning said. It brings you back up a bit after being through a rough season.TECH TROUBLEThe Red Raiders entered play ranked third in the nation with 46 points a game. Against Iowa State, Tech had just 306 yards and was 4 of 14 on third down. It was a performance so bad that Kingsbury, who has a hefty buyout, was peppered with questions about his job status after the game. I really dont harp on that...Ive been trying to win these last two games. Thats it, Kingsbury said.UP NEXTTexas Tech will travel to AT&T Stadium in Arlington for a neutral site game against Baylor next Saturday. Given the direction both programs are headed, its hard to imagine many folks will be excited for that one.Iowa State concludes coach Matt Campbells first season by hosting West Virginia next week. Itll be a trip that suddenly looks a lot more dangerous for the Mountaineers.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale Nike Air Vapormax . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.

SAN DIEGO -- The longer he pitched, the stronger San Diego Padres left-hander Christian Friedrich got.And it just happened to be against his original team, the Colorado Rockies.Friedrich matched his career-high with 10 strikeouts in seven brilliant innings to win for the first time since June 23, leading the Padres to a 6-3 victory against the Rockies on Saturday night.Friedrich (5-10), the Rockies first-round draft pick in 2008, allowed two hits and walked one. He retired his final 13 batters and 19 of 20.Obviously, Id be lying if I said it didnt feel good to pitch well against them, Friedrich said.The Rockies got a runner into scoring position against Friedrich just once, when Carlos Gonzalez doubled with two outs in the first and advanced on a wild pitch. Nolan Arenado walked before Friedrich got Tom Murphy to fly out to left. The Rockies only other baserunner against Friedrich was DJ LeMahieu, who lined a comebacker off Friedrichs left leg for a single in the third..Its DJ, so it was really pretty funny to see him at first trying to smile at me. It was fine. It caught a lot of meat, Friedrich said.Friedrich has dominated in two starts against the Rockies this year. On June 12, he got a no-decision after holding them to one run and two hits in six innings, with nine strikeouts.Hes been tough on us a couple of times, manager Walt Weiss said. He had a good angle on his fastball. Thats one of his keys. Good breaking ball, the curveball and the slider. We couldnt figure him out.Friedrich really settled in, Padres manager Andy Green said. First inning he labored, fought just to keep them off the board.... He pretty much sailed through the next six.Green said he had some debate about sending Friedrich back out for the eighth. But it was getting kind of where we are with paying attenntion to his innings and trying to put him in a position to be successful in the future.dddddddddddd We thought it was best to cut him at seven.Friedrich had lost each of his last decisions during his previous 11 starts. His last victory was at Cincinnati on June 23.Brandon Maurer pitched the ninth for his ninth save.The Padres piled on against Jon Gray (9-8), taking a 6-0 lead after two innings and chasing him after four.Yangervis Solarte hit an RBI single in the first and a two-run double during the five-run second. His second-inning double followed a two-run double by Wil Myers that went over left fielder David Dahls head and bounced into the stands.Gray allowed six runs on eight hits. He struck out three and walked three.Gray was kind of searching for his slider tonight, Weiss aid. He was doing all right otherwise. It was a battle for him. He never really got locked in. He didnt have his `A slider. Just an off night. Nothing physically or anything like that.The Rockies scored three unearned runs in the eighth after shortstop Luis Sardinas booted Mark Reynolds grounder. Gonzalez had a two-run single.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: Friedrich was hit near his left knee by a comebacker by LeMahieu in the third inning. After being checked by a trainer and manager Andy Green, he stayed in the game.UP NEXTRockies: Chad Bettis (12-7, 4.88) is scheduled to start the finale of the four-game series. Hes coming off his first shutout. He lost his last time out at Petco Park, on June 4.Padres: Edwin Jackson (4-5, 5.55) is scheduled to make his 10th start for the Padres.
