AMES, Iowa -- Baker Mayfield threw four more touchdown passes for the streaking Oklahoma Sooners.Mayfield completed 25 of 34 passes for 328 yards and 12th-ranked Oklahoma held off Iowa State 34-24 on Thursday night for its sixth straight victory.Dede Westbrook caught seven passes for 131 yards and a score for the Sooners (7-2, 6-0 Big 12). They beat the Cyclones (1-8, 0-6) for the 18th time in a row and the 74th time in 81 meetings.Mayfield threw TD passes to Westbrook and Dimitri Flowers in the final 4:16 of the first half, extending his streak of games with at least four touchdown tosses to an FBS-high four games.Mayfield has 31 scoring passes, good for second nationally, with just six interceptions.That was a big jolt. They didnt have the lead but for 10 seconds, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said about the 65-yard TD reception by Westbrook that came immediately after Iowa State jumped ahead 17-14. Dede and Baker have been doing that a bunch.Oklahomas defense stiffened after some early struggles, allowing just seven points in the second half to help the injury-depleted Sooners survive on the road.Were short a few guys. But we had some young guys step in and take full control of the game, Westbrook said.Jacob Park passed for 160 yards and two touchdowns for the Cyclones in his first career start. Theyve dropped five straight.Iowa State played without rushing leader Mike Warren. He sprained an ankle last week in a loss to Kansas State.I just think knowing that the front we were going to face, we had to throw the football a little bit, and you Jacob gave us the best opportunity to start the football game, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.THE TAKEAWAYOklahoma: The Sooners maintained their hold atop the Big 12 by avoiding the Thursday night road upset that has derailed more than a few teams in recent years. With Baylor, West Virginia and Oklahoma State up next, Oklahoma is control of its own destiny in the league title race.Iowa State: The Cyclones showed glimpses of promise yet again. But theyre not ready to beat a conference contender like Oklahoma quite yet. Still, it was the fourth time in six games that Iowa State was within 10 points in a league game.POLL IMPLICATIONSOklahoma didnt do much to impress the voters . But margins of victory arent terribly important when it comes to road league games in November. Besides, the Big 12 championship is essentially all the Sooners have left to play for -- and the rankings dont matter for that.Iowa State: The Cyclones once again showed glimpses of promise. But theyre not ready to beat a team as talented as the Sooners just yet. Still, Iowa State looked respectable for a program that had dropped its previous 11 games to coach Bob Stoops by an average score of 41-9.FLOWERS BLOOMSWith Joe Mixon (suspension) and Samaje Perine (injury) out of action Thursday, Dimitri Flowers stepped in to give Oklahoma a running game with 115 yards on 22 carries. Freshman Abdul Adams added 54 yards. I told him in the locker room in front of the whole team, I dont believe Ive ever seen a guy do all of that, what he did, so well in a game, Stoops said of Flowers. And he had two days of practice to do it.THE NUMBERSMayfield, who was 25 of 34 passing, has 19 TDs and just 2 picks last four games. ...Westbrook now has four TD grabs of at least 65 yards this season. ... Oklahoma has allowed just 27 points in its last two games. Granted the Sooners played Kansas and Iowa State, but they allowed 59 against Texas Tech before that. ... Joel Lanning is quickly becoming Iowa States backup quarterback. Lanning threw just one pass, an incompletion, though his 41-yard TD run in the second quarter gave the Cyclones a 17-14 lead. That gave Iowa State fans hope that an upset was possible, but Mayfield proved to be too tough to stop.UP NEXTOklahoma hosts the 13th-ranked Bears in a matchup with serious Big 12 title implications. The Sooners won their first 20 matchups against the Bears, but are 2/3 the past five years.Iowa State travels to face Kansas in the least appealing matchups in the Big 12 this year. The Jayhawks are 1-7 and have lost their last three games by an average of 40 points.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NHL Jerseys Online . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic . As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants. http://www.cheapnhljerseysusa.com/ . The return match will take place next Wednesday. Udinese leads Fiorentina 2-1 in the other semifinal. Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman. Wholesale Adidas Hockey Jerseys .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. Cheap NHL Jerseys China .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later. Scott Dixons quiet run to 17th place in the GoPro Grand Prix on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway brought to an end one of auto racings most enduring and successful partnerships between a sponsor and a team.Target and Chip Ganassi joined forces in 1990, when the former Indy car driver bought out Patrick Racing to establish his name as a team owner in the CART-sanctioned IndyCar championship, running a single car for ex-Formula One driver Eddie Cheever.Since then, Target Chip Ganassi Racing has become synonymous with success. Michael Andretti delivered the teams first win in 1994, and Jimmy Vasser followed with a CART championship two years later. That kicked off a remarkable streak of four consecutive CART titles, with Alex Zanardi taking the honors in 1997 and 98 and hotshot 23-year-old rookie Juan Pablo Montoya stealing the crown a year later.The accomplishments kept coming when Target Chip Ganassi Racing switched from CART to the then-IRL IndyCar Series in 2003. All told, Target/Ganassi cars have won 10 Indy car championships under CART and IndyCar Series sanction, most recently in 2015 with Dixons fourth crown.In all, Ganassi cars have won 102 Indy car races and 11 series championships, most in the colors of Target or highlighted associate sponsors. But Target recently underwent top-level management changes, and Ganassi was informed that the Indy car sponsorship program would not be renewed. Target colors will continue to appear on the No. 42 car that Ganassi campaigns in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for at least one more year.On Friday night, Ganassi, Target and the team celebrated their long association with a party at a winery near Sonoma Raceway that featured entertainment from actor Jeff Bridges and his band.Not a dry eye in the house, revealed Dario Franchitti, who won three of his four IndyCar championships while driving the No. 10 Target/Ganassi car.But while the party was held in honor of Target, the Sonoma IndyCar weekend also was important to the Ganassi organization for another reason: It marked the first time all 14 of Chip Ganassis cars competed on the same weekend.Aside from the four Indy cars at Sonoma, Ganassi entries racing this past weekend included NASCAR Sprint Cup and Xfinity Series cars at Chicagoland Speedway, IMSA and FIA WEC sports cars at Circuit of the Americas (COTA), and Global Rallycross Championship cars in Seattle.dddddddddddd.Ganassi cars have scored 10 race wins across all six platforms the team competes in this year.When you look back to where Chips business all started back in 1990 with a one-car Indy car operation, its very impressive to see the racing empire hes built, said Franchitti, who joined the Ganassi organization in 2008 to pursue a NASCAR career before successfully switching back to Indy cars for the most successful era of his career a year later.Running 14 cars in six series across the globe doesnt just happen overnight -- you have to have strong partners like Target and first-class team personnel supporting you along the way. Decent drivers dont hurt, either!Its one thing to just field that many cars, but I think Chip would be most proud of the fact that hes won this season in each of those series, Franchitti added. That is no easy feat by any means.Ganassi spent most of his weekend at Sonoma, but he did fly to COTA on Saturday for the rare opportunity to see his U.S.- and Europe-based sports car teams competing at the same track on the same weekend -- albeit in different races. He was back with the IndyCar program on Sunday.This [IndyCar] is what gets him up and running in the morning, said Franchitti, who continues to work with the Ganassi team as a driver coach and engineering advisor following his retirement as a driver at the end of 2013.Unfortunately, Dixon was unable to repeat as the Sonoma winner. He struggled with braking issues in practice and qualifying and was affected by problems with his radio during the race.Dixon won the 2003, 08, 13 and 15 IndyCar Series championships for Ganassi.Racing with Target for the last 27 years has been fantastic, said Ganassi Racing managing director Mike Hull. Weve had some great ups and some great downs together, but what has made them terrific as a partner is they lived through both of those with equal support. They havent moved from team to team, they havent moved from series to series and they have been extremely important to us.I wish we could have gone out a little higher today, but some days it just isnt your day.
