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 Jonathon Simmons Jersey .

EUGENE, Ore. -- Even as the middle child in a family with 11 kids, Keni Harrison always stood out.Only fitting, then, that her family stands out, too. A few of them are hoping theyll be at the stadium in Rio de Janeiro later this summer -- dressed in their familiar neon shirts to cheer on Keni, the American record holder in the 100-meter hurdles, at the Olympics.The 23-year-old Harrison used sports -- first gymnastics, then soccer, then, finally, track -- to carve her path in an oversized family that wasnt originally planned that way.At first, her mother, Karon, didnt want kids, yet ended up with one short of a dozen -- nine of whom are adopted, including Keni, who will try to secure her spot in Rio next week at Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon.I know it wasnt easy raising all of us, said Keni, who broke the American record last month. But my parents found a way. They always found a way.The Harrison crew grew up in a six-bedroom house in Clayton, North Carolina. Bathroom space was at a premium and meals were typically on the run -- many of them eaten out of the back of a hotel shuttle bus the family used to transport all the kids from one activity to another.Keni was born in Tennessee to a mother she never knew. Karon and Gary had just adopted a daughter, Tasha, when they got a call from the agency about another infant in need of a home. Were they interested?Next thing they knew, they were on their way home from a camping trip to pick up Keni. She and Tasha are 11 days apart.The Harrison house has always been filled with noise, screams, love and caring. Casey, 33, is the oldest and Kara, 18, the youngest in a family that includes kids of many nationalities -- including two from Bolivia and two of Korean heritage.It was always busy, but you dont think about it, their mom said. You had birthday parties out of the back of the car. You always keep snacks in the car. Youre running here and there.Both the parents are retired military, with Gary now working for the Transportation Security Administration and Karon as an assistant preschool teacher.They bought toilet paper in bulk, along with cereal, mac and cheese, fish sticks and milk -- lots of milk. The family went through nearly seven gallons a week.Gary and their grandpa built a large dining room table so they could congregate. One problem: They were rarely home together. Their schedules were just too frenzied; Karon memorized everything and jotted it all down for her husband.They made plentty of memories.dddddddddddd A few embarrassing ones, too.Like when the family picked pick up Casey after high school cross country practice in a shuttle bus with the word Marriott fading on the side but still visible.Theyd all yell my name and wave, laughed Casey, an Air Force major living in Anchorage, Alaska. You sort of pretend you dont know the people yelling out the window at you.It was hard to ignore the talent of Keni, though.At first, she appeared headed toward a soccer career. She was super-fast, which drew the attention of the track coach who asked her to run in a few meets.She showed so much potential even with little training and wearing tennis shoes. It didnt take long until she hit her stride, capturing 100 and 400 hurdles titles at the 2010 USA Junior Olympics. She caught the attention of Clemson, where she went before transferring to Kentucky and going on to twin two individual NCAA titles.Keni remains a volunteer assistant coach for Kentucky while training under Wildcats coach Edrick Floreal. At the recent NCAA championships in Eugene, she helped out the team before squeezing in her own workouts.Shes the kind of kid that doesnt take anything for granted, her mom said. Keni feels she has to live up to a lot of expectations and doesnt want to disappoint people. She doesnt realize that everyone will be proud of her no matter how she does.Support. This group has that in abundance.Whenever Keni competes, theres sure to be family around. Usually in bright attire. Thats the way it was when Casey graduated from the Air Force Academy, her family driving out to Colorado and wearing fluorescent green shirts.People were like, `Where is the (family) section? Casey recounted. Im like, `See all those green shirts? Its right there.Just thinking about the trials has Kenis mom on edge, especially since she has to miss it for a previously planned trip. Her husband will be there, though.Its a loaded field, too, one that includes 2008 Beijing Olympic gold medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson, Lolo Jones and Brianna Rollins, the 2013 world outdoor champion. But Harrison is the one to catch after breaking the American record last month at the Nike Prefontaine Classic in a time of 12.24 seconds. It was just 0.03 shy of eclipsing the fastest time in history.To everybody else, shes a superstar, Casey said. To us, shes just Keni. ' ' '
