Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops would be just fine if he didnt have to face one of his most respected mentors, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, each year. Doug Kotar Womens Jersey .No, I dont enjoy coaching against coach Snyders teams, Stoops said emphatically. Theyre too good all the time.Oklahoma (3-2, 2-0 Big 12), ranked No. 19 , faces Kansas State (3-2, 1-1) on Saturday, and as often has been the case, the winner will be well positioned early in the conference race.Stoops and Snyder go back to the late 1970s. Stoops played at Iowa when Snyder was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under coach Hayden Fry. Stoops joined Iowas coaching staff as a graduate assistant while Snyder was still there.Stoops was an assistant coach on Snyders first seven Kansas State teams from 1989 to 1995, when they helped the program emerge as a powerhouse.Ive got great admiration and respect for coach, and I loved my time there, Stoops said of Snyder. I say it all the time -- those were a great seven years I was there, and learned a ton being there from the ground up.Snyder returns the respect for the Oklahoma program.Theyre a good football team, always have been, and better than good, he said.Both have continued to excel since Stoops left Kansas State to become defensive coordinator at Florida, then took the job at Oklahoma in 1999. They rank first and second among active FBS coaches in career wins at their current schools. Snyder, in his 25th year, has 196 wins at Kansas State. Stoops, in his 18th season at Oklahoma, has 182 victories. They have combined for 11 Big 12 championships in the leagues first 20 years -- Stoops has nine and Snyder two.Stoops said Snyder has remained successful at age 77 because he still connects with the people around him.He does a good job relating with his players, with his coaches, his coaches relate with the players, Stoops said. All of it together. I think theres great respect there from players to him.Snyder has the Wildcats competing. Kansas State has the No. 1 scoring defense, total defense and rushing defense in the Big 12.Theyre really sound, Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. They play their gaps so well. Its a four-man front. I think Coach Snyder will do that until the day hes done. Its incredible. They know what theyre doing. They know what their holes are. They know how to cover them up. They just dont beat themselves.Snyder said this years Oklahoma team is formidable, despite its early losses to Houston and Ohio State.They had some injuries that tempered that a little bit, but theyve come through that quite well, he said. The replacements -- you watch them on videotape, and they are very fine players and good athletes. Bobby would probably temper that thought. Yes, they have gotten better, and if there are any exceptions to that statement, they are probably injury based.Stoops has a 9-3 record against Snyder, but Kansas State has won the past two games in Norman -- 24-19 in 2012 and 31-30 in 2014. And Snyder was responsible for one of the most stunning losses in recent Oklahoma history, when the Wildcats beat the top-ranked Sooners 35-7 in the 2003 Big 12 championship game.Last year, the Sooners outgained Kansas State 568 yards to 110 in a 55-0 win at Kansas State. The Sooners seemed eager to push that game into the rear-view mirror.Theyre a sound team, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield said. Theyre well coached. They always are. Theyre definitely a lot better than they were last year.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP Mark Bavaro Jersey . But what about the officials?

He neednt have worried. These days, the Dodgers can do no wrong, even if its late. Mark Ellis hit a two-run homer to highlight a five-run 10th inning as the Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep. "Were rolling right now. Were going to see how long this roll lasts," said Los Angeles reliever Brandon League, who beat his former team for the second straight game. Yasiel Puig also went deep in the 10th for the Dodgers, who have won six straight and 23 of 28 to go from last in the NL West on June 21 to first place. Los Angeles won its 10th straight road game, the franchises longest streak since the Brooklyn Dodgers won their first 11 away from home in 1955. League (5-3) pitched two innings and Kenley Jansen finished for the Dodgers, who left 13 runners on base and went 2 for 17 with runners in scoring position. "It was one of those games where youre going Man, were letting too many opportunities get away from us," Mattingly said. "That game scared me from the second on, just the way it went. Its nice to come back and get that." The Dodgers loaded the bases in the second but scored just one. They stranded runners at first and second in the fourth and left the bases loaded in the fifth, coming up empty both times. "Early in the year we didnt come back in any games, I dont think," Mark Ellis said. "Lately weve been able to do that. Thats the sign of a good team." Juan Perez (1-2) gave up all five runs and four hits in the 10th inning for Toronto, snapping his streak of 22 innings without an earned run since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo in late May. The Blue Jays were swept for the second straight series, and have lost a season-high seven consecutive games and 14 of 18. Toronto led 8-3 after six innings Tuesday before the Dodgers rallied to win 10-9, but manager John Gibbons said this one was even more cruel. "I thought we were rock bottom last night," Gibbons said. "I guess not." This time, the Blue Jays were up 3-2 heading into the ninth before the Dodgers rallied against closer Casey Janssen. Puig drew a leadoff walk before Janssen struck out Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez, then got two strikes on Andre Ethier. When Ethier hit a sinking liner to centre, Colby Rasmus charged the ball but couldnt catch it, then had it bounce off his glove, allowing Puig to score. "I saw with Hanley and Gonzo that (Janssen) kind of forced them to chase some bad pitches out of the zone," Ethier said. "I wwas just trying to get something over the plate to drive. Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey. " The blown save was Janssens second in 20 opportunities. "I shouldnt have walked Puig in the first place," Janssen said. "Leadoff walks always hurt and tonight it got me." In the 10th, Juan Uribe drew a one-out walk and Ellis homered into the second deck in left, his fifth. One out later, Puig hit his ninth homer and first since July 2. Gonzalez walked, Ramirez doubled and Ethier followed with a two-run double. "It felt good to win this game after having so many opportunities early," Ellis said. Torontos bullpen allowed two home runs for the second straight game. Toronto relievers allowed 18 earned runs in the three games against Los Angeles. "Its frustrating, its demoralizing but weve got to come back tomorrow," Gibbons said. Ethier went 4 for 5 with two RBIs and Puig was 3 for 5 with a walk and two RBIs. "He looked more like himself tonight," Mattingly said of Puig. The Blue Jays broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth against Ronald Belisario when pinch runner Rajai Davis scored from second on a throwing error by Gonzalez. Los Angeles opened the scoring on Uribes bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the second, and Puig made it 2-0 with an RBI double in the third. Dodgers starter Ricky Nolasco held the Blue Jays without a hit until the bottom of the fifth, when Rasmus and Maicer Izturis drew consecutive walks and Brett Lawrie drove them in with a two-out double off the wall. Making his fourth start since being acquired from Miami on July 7, Nolasco allowed two runs and two hits in 5 2-3 innings. He matched a season-high with four walks and struck out five. Toronto starter Esmil Rogers allowed two runs and 10 hits in seven innings, matching his longest outing of the season. The right-hander, who walked one and struck out four, has not won since June 18 against Colorado, a span of six starts. "His back against the wall all night long," Gibbons said. Before the game, the Dodgers placed outfielder Matt Kemp on the 15-day disabled list and activated left-hander Ted Lilly. Kemps move is backdated to July 22, meaning hes eligible to return Aug. 6, but manager Don Mattingly said Kemp might need more time. NOTES: The game was briefly halted in the fourth after home plate umpire Will Little was hit on the left arm by a pitch from Nolasco. Little remained in the game, but left the field for treatment between the top and bottom of the sixth. ... Blue Jays RHP Brandon Morrow will have more tests on his sore right forearm. Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos said its hard to be optimistic that Morrow will be able to return this season. ' ' '
