Die Macht » 2001 because it conflicted with Yom Kip

NORMAN, Okla. -- Baker Mayfield and Dede Westbrook have become a dynamic duo for the Oklahoma Sooners.Mayfield completed all but six of his 31 passes for 346 yards and four touchdowns, Westbrook had nine receptions for 184 yards and three scores and No. 19 Oklahoma pulled away to beat Kansas State 38-17 on Saturday.One week after Mayfield passed for 390 yards and Westbrook had a school-record 232 yards receiving, they were electric once again as Oklahoma (4-2, 3-0 Big 12) won its third straight game after starting out 1-2.When Mayfield hit a wide open Westbrook for an 88-yard touchdown -- the longest pass play at home and fourth-longest overall in Oklahoma history -- in the fourth quarter, it was Westbrooks eighth TD in the last three games, a new school record.Two talented guys, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. Of course, Bakers just great. Im just looking at 25 out of 31 -- thats a great day against a good defense. And then Dedes just got that speed and polish in his route running to get open.With Samaje Perine sidelined by a muscle injury in the first quarter, Joe Mixon stepped up for Oklahoma. He rushed for 88 yards, caught three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown and became the first Sooners running back since Joe Washington in 1973 to throw a touchdown pass. The 26-yarder to Westbrook in the second quarter put the Sooners ahead 21-7.We trust Joe, Mayfield said. We were able to come out there and still run the same plays, even when Samaje wasnt out there, so thats why you saw some success in our passing game because those guys were still worried about our run game.Stoops noted that Perine was held out for precautionary reasons.Samaje just had a slight pulled muscle, and if forced to play, he could have, Stoops said. We wanted to see if we could get away with it, and hopefully allow it to heal this week.Kansas State (3-3, 1-2) had its own injury issues as starting quarterback Jesse Ertz left for good just after halftime with an apparent problem with his right throwing shoulder. He completed 8 of 14 passes for 68 yards and ended the game as the Wildcats leading rusher with 40 yards and a touchdown on seven carries.Joe Hubener came in and threw for 157 yards on 12 of 23 passes, with a spectacular 54-yard touchdown to Dominique Heath early in the fourth quarter that pulled K-State to within 31-17. Heath ended up with seven receptions for 101 yards, both career-highs.Its never as good as I would like, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said of his quarterbacks. I think Jesse did some good things, Joe did some good things, but they made some mistakes. Its still a work in progress.TAKEAWAYKansas State: K-State entered the game with the Big 12s top defense, allowing just 17.6 points and 310.2 yards per game, but Oklahoma had 21 points less than five minutes into the second quarter and piled up 510 total yards.You have to stay aggressive against a defense like K-State, said Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley. If you start to get conservative and hand it off every time, they will prey on you, and theyve done it against everybody, theyre one of the best run defenses in the country.Oklahoma: The Sooners need to keep feeding the ball to Mixon, even when Perine is healthy. Even as Perines backup, Mixon entered the day ranking fourth in the nation averaging 179 yards per game in all-purpose yards, and put up 177 in this one. His 19 rushes were a career high.Joe was sensational running the football, Stoops said, making a really good defense miss him on a good number of occasions to get extra yards. He ran tough in a lot of instances, caught the ball well, had a big kickoff return, and then goes and throws a touchdown pass.PLAY OF THE GAMEWhich Mixon play to choose? There was the 8-yard touchdown reception where he made a one-handed catch on a short shovel pass from Mayfield and then hurdled over K-State safety Dante Barnett on his way to the end zone, which made it 14-0. Or would it be his 26-yard touchdown pass to Westbrook early in the second quarter?Well have to work on his spiral, Mayfield said of Mixons pass. That was a pretty ugly duck, but he got it there, thats all that matters.UP NEXTKansas State: The Wildcats host Texas next Saturday.Oklahoma: The Sooners visit Texas Tech next Saturday.---This story corrects Oklahomas overall record.

When it began to look as if Laetitia Beck would represent Israel at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero, the second-year LPGA golfer was reminded about the sports very low profile in her country as she inquired about her apparel and equipment for the Games.My Olympic committee doesnt know much about golf, said Beck, Israels only LPGA player. Im responsible for everything. They told me to do what I want as long as its according to the rules, and they would reimburse me. I had to find someone to make my uniform, order a bag and get my hats. Im a very independent person, but it was a little stressful because I want to represent Israel and its culture the right way.With so much attention having been focused on which stars wont compete for various reasons in golfs return to the Olympics after 112 years, players like Beck are a reminder that its a big opportunity -- and a priority -- for others. Although currently ranked outside the top 200 in the Rolex Rankings, Beck was 42nd in the final Olympic qualifying list for the 60-player womens golf field because individual countries are allowed a maximum of four, and in most cases, two, entrants.This is special to me, being able to represent my country and help Israel have a bigger overall Olympic team, said Beck, a two-time golf gold medalist (2009, 2013) at the Maccabiah Games for Jewish athletes. We tend to be big in judo, track and field and wind surfing, but the numbers are pretty small, around 45 people. Being able to be an ambassador for Israel is important. And it will be great to be part of the team.Beck, 24, moved from Belgium to Israel with her family when she was 6 years old. They settled in Caesarea, in the Israeli coastal plain between Tel Aviv and Haifa, home to the countrys only 18-hole golf course, Caesarea Golf Club. From age 8 to 12, golf became part of Becks active sports life along with tennis and soccer.My mom says, I dont how you happened because youre so different from all of us. But Im super athletic and always had very good hand-eye coordination, Beck said. I would play golf twice a week, tennis three times a week and soccer at school. When I was 12, the pro at my club encouraged my mom to sign me up for the Israeli Ladies Championship. I was not good -- I only broke 90 the last round -- but I won in a playoff.Inspired by the victory, Beck dropped other sports and concentrated on golf, becoming a scratch player in a year. At 13, she won the national title by 30 or 40 shots, Becks prowess prompting her family to send her to the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, the following year. Beck continued to improve at the Academy, also the training ground for fellow LPGA players Paula Creamer and Jessica Korda. Beck earned a womens golf scholarship to Duke University, where she was a two-time All-American and a key member of the Blue Devils sixth national championship in 2014.dddddddddddd Later that season she tied for 11th at LPGA Q-School.After finishing 111th on the 2015 LPGA money list, Beck has struggled for consistency in 2016 -- she is currently 223rd in earnings -- although she had consecutive top-20 finishes in May at the Yokohama Tire Classic and Kingsmill Championship.I think I have as much talent as the best players, Beck said. With me, it seems to be in my head. Im a long way from my potential, and I think I can beat them all. I want to be the best, but I want to do something with it too.Beck has worked with some golf mental coaches but hasnt found the right fit.Its hard for me. I can get a little tough on people. I definitely need to find someone I can trust.That can take time, as Becks college coach, Dan Brooks, recently told the schools student newspaper, The Chronicle.When she came in as a freshman, I didnt know if she and I were going to make it, Brooks said. I probably have had no greater evolution of a relationship than she and I had. By the time she left, we were real tight and continue to be.Said Beck of her attitude: Im such a big perfectionist. Thats what gets me coming back the next day, to see if I can get better.Now living in a community with a large Jewish population in Miami-Dade County, traveling home to the Middle East for only a few weeks a year, Beck is proud of her heritage.Being the only Israeli golfer out here, I want people to know where I come from, she said.Beck always wears a Star of David necklace and has the symbol stitched on her golf bag, which is in the Israeli colors of blue and white.Im not too religious, Beck said. Its more about the culture than religion. On the high holy days Ill go to temple.Beck bypassed a college tournament in 2001 because it conflicted with Yom Kippur, and she adheres to a Kosher diet.It was interesting at Passover during the Swinging Skirts event this year, she said. No bread and no yeast, and I usually eat pasta and make a peanut butter sandwich or have an energy bar on the course. The only thing I could have was fruit.Diet doesnt figure to be a problem at the Olympics. The news of how Beck fares in Rio will travel back to Israel, if awkwardly.Slowly, there are more articles back home if I do well, Beck said. But the articles are pretty funny because they dont know much about golf. Theyll say things like, She advanced into the final. In judo, you advance.By whatever description, though, Beck will be glad to be there representing her country.The first time I was at the Maccabiah Games, when I was 13, the opening ceremony was very emotional, she said. I was born in Belgium and live in the U.S. But I consider Israel home. ' ' '
