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 Vapormax Ale .

LOS ANGELES -- As Vin Scully closes out his career broadcasting Los Angeles Dodgers games, his successor is waiting in the wings.Joe Davis has been working road games for the team this season, warming up for next year when the 28-year-old moves into Scullys old booth full-time.Davis shares a philosophy with Scully: Its not about the broadcaster, its about the game. That should come as a relief to Dodgers fans who for 67 years havent heard anyone except Scully wax lyrical about their beloved team.Early on in my career I obsessively tried to nail the basics, Davis said, citing time, game situation and score, pronouncing names and getting the facts right. If youre not good fundamentally than you lose all credibility before anyone knows what you sound like.Davis was hired by the team last November to work with former Dodgers Orel Hershiser and Nomar Garciaparra calling 50 road games on SportsNet LA, the teams television channel that isnt widely seen in Los Angeles because of an ongoing dispute between Time Warner Cable, which carries it, and other pay TV providers.This year there were plenty of nerves going into it because of the unknown and how people would accept me, he said. Its exceeded expectations with how positive people have been.Some critics have pounced on social media, telling Davis that hes no Scully.Im always happy to remind them that nobody is, he said.Next year, Davis will do play-by-play with Hershiser and Garciaparra analyzing the action.Its ridiculous how confident he is, how prepared he is, how much passion he has for the job, Hershiser said of his young sidekick. Thats going to serve him really well.Scully called Davis the night before his hiring was announced to welcome him and assure him it was a great gig.Ive saved that voicemail in about a hundred different places, he said. A part of me is glad I missed the call.This season, Davis has flown from his home in Michigan to whereever the team is on the road.dddddddddddd When the Dodgers are in Los Angeles, Scully works the games with Davis listening to the icon from long distance. He looks forward to being around the team full-time.Theres something romantic about baseball broadcasting, he said, and how that story writes itself over the course of an entire season.Davis grew up in tiny Potterville, Michigan, near Lansing, as a Chicago Cubs fan, listening to Pat Hughes call their games. Nationally, hes been influenced by Fox Sports announcer Joe Buck.Although Davis hasnt sought out Scully for advice, not wanting to badger him in his final months, the Hall of Famer was asked recently if he had any.Be himself, Scully said. Thats the hardest thing in the world to be.Like Scully, Davis has strong support at home.He and wife Libby, along with their 3-month-old daughter, Charlotte, are house hunting in Los Angeles in preparation for moving here full-time. The couple met as students at Beloit College in Wisconsin, where he earned a communications degree while playing quarterback and wide receiver on the football team.Shes seen me do games for nothing and make $16,000 a year doing minor league baseball, he said. She is the real star in the whole thing.Davis has called baseball, college football and basketball for Fox Sports, something he will continue to do, which means he wont broadcast the Dodgers entire 162-game schedule. He declined to specify how many games hell miss.That was a big thing for me, he said. I didnt want to give up the national stuff.Davis is six years older than Scully was when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers radio and TV booth as a 22-year-old in 1950.The Dodgers are not ones to change much, Hershiser said. Once the audience gets used to him and likes him, maybe hell be here forever. ' ' '
