NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Kyle Kempt passed for 343 yards and three touchdowns, including a 25-yarder to Allen Lazard that put Iowa State ahead with 2:19 left and Joel Lanning made plays on offense and defense to lead the Cyclones to a stunning 38-31 victory over No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday.

The loss snapped Oklahoma’s nation-leading 14-game winning streak and the Sooners’ 18-game run against the Cyclones that dated to 1990. It was just Iowa State’s second victory over Oklahoma since 1961, and the Cyclones (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) did it without their starting quarterback.

Kempt, the senior who had thrown just two passes in his career before Saturday, played because regular starter Jacob Park went on leave for undisclosed personal medical reasons late this week. The Cyclones remained confident, despite having lost 20 straight against ranked opponents. Iowa State’s last win over a Top 25 team came against TCU in 2012. It was Iowa State’s first road win over a Top 5 team.

Lanning, who switched from quarterback to linebacker in the offseason, played both positions Saturday. According to the Des Moines Register, he’s the first Iowa State player since 1971 to get significant action both ways in a game. He ran for 35 yards, passed for 25 and had eight tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery. He played 78 snaps.

Iowa State quarterback Jacob Park will not play against No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday for undisclosed medical reasons.

The school announced Friday that Park is taking a leave from the team to work through personal health issues. He remains a member of the squad.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell is not certain of a timeline for Park’s return, and said he cannot discuss issue. Campbell said Iowa State is focused on “supporting one another in difficult times.”

Park has completed 62 percent of his passes and has nine touchdown passes and five interceptions this season.

The Exira-EHK Spartans scored first but the Fremont-Mills Knights took over from there in a 43-12 victory on Friday night in Exira.  The Spartans scored on the fourth possession of the game with a four yard touchdown run from Jayden Goodwin but the PAT was no good. The Knights would answer back on the next drive. Jaeger Powers moved the chains on a long 3rd down and then ripped off a 31-yard touchdown run on the next play. The PAT from Conner Alley put the Knights ahead to stay.

Mason Vanatta hit Tristan Vanatta on a 44 yard touchdown pass and then had a 55 yard touchdown run to put the Knights up 21-6. Exira-EHK had a great opportunity to cut the deficit to a one possession game at the end of the first half but failed to score on two attempts from the Knights 8 yard line. The final play of the half was a bad low snap that the Spartans just had to cover up, leaving the score at 21-6.

The Spartans did get the first score of the second half on a Cole Burmeister 15 yard touchdown run but the two point conversion failed to make it 21-12. The Knights would answer back two possessions later with a 10 yard touchdown pass from Vanatta to Austin Gartner. The Knights would also convert a big 2 point conversion to make it a three possession game at 29-12.

Mason Vanatta iced the game with a tight-roping 64 yard touchdown run down the left sideline with 8:16 left to make it 36-12. James Switzer added a late touchdown run for the Knights to cap the scoring.

Fremont-Mills improves to 5-2 and 4-1 in the District. They take a stranglehold on the 2nd playoff spot in District 7 with the win.

The Spartans fall to 4-2 overall and 3-2 in the District.  Exira-EHK travels to CAM next week.
