Too bad for Kansas State, he was in uniform Saturday.

Murray had three touchdowns, including two critical ones in the fourth quarter, to help lead the Sooners to a 42-30 win.

"I wasn't sure I was going to play this game until we were stretching," said Murray, who was limited in practice all week. "It was tough missing last week. It was a great rest for my body, but it was hard to watch."

Murray, who suffered the sprained ankle two weeks ago against Texas, also ran for a hard 62 yards on 15 carries and caught four passes for 28 yards.

"He's not quite at full strength, but he's still powerful," coach Bob Stoops said. "A lot of those short-yardage situations, he has the power to pick them up."
