Die Macht » slow start on Saturday allowed the So

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Dallas Cowboys had a gift for Bruce Arians in his first home game as Arizona coach. Six of them, actually. The Cowboys committed six turnovers, five in the first half, and the Cardinals sputtered to a 12-7 preseason victory Saturday. Arizonas Jay Feely kicked field goals of 25, 53, 40 and 22 yards. He missed one from 30. Dallas Tony Romo completed 7 of 10 passes for 142 yards but was undone by two fumbles by his receivers. He also overthrew a wide-open Terrance Williams for what looked to be a sure touchdown. "Obviously, turnovers are going to get you beat in this league. It is paramount that we dont let that happen again," Romo said. "We are going to have some hard teaching sessions going over this tape, and it will be good for guys." The Cowboys scored on a 5-yard pass from fourth-string quarterback Alex Tanney to Gavin Escobar with 10:55 to play, the first points allowed by Arizona (2-0) in the preseason. The Cardinals won at Green Bay 17-0 last week. "I think special teams is exactly where it needs to be and defensively I like where were at," Arians said. "Offensively, were a work in progress." Arizonas Carson Palmer was 7 of 15 for 66 yards. Dallas, which entered the game with two turnovers total in its first two preseason contests, fumbled the ball away three times, then backup Kyle Orton threw two interceptions, all before the half came to an end. Arizona got another interception with 1:40 to play. Arizona managed just nine points despite Dallas five first-half turnovers. "Its not anything we were physically beat on or beat with speed," Palmer said, "it was silly, sloppy things. I put that on my shoulders and its unacceptable to have nine points off the opportunities that we had." Arizona has had red-zone issues in both of its games. "Just like last week, we play extremely well all over the field until we get inside the 20, and then we have a ton of mental errors," Arians said. "It baffles me." Dallas coach Jason Garrett called the six turnovers "inexcusable" but he praised the defence for its response to that adversity. "To have six turnovers and give up 12 points is pretty darn good," he said. Cardinals cornerback Jerraud Powers recovered two fumbles and intercepted a pass. Rookie Tony Jefferson had two interceptions. The first Dallas turnover came after Arizona went three-and-out in its first possession. Dwayne Harris gathered in Dave Zastudils 56-yard punt and was in immediate distress. Justin Bethel stripped Harris of the ball, then Stepfan Taylor jumped on it for Arizona at the Dallas 22. The Cardinals made it to the 7, but Palmer threw incomplete short to Andre Roberts on third-and-6, although Michael Floyd appeared to be open in the back of the end zone. Feelys 25-yard field goal made it 3-0. The first offensive series for Dallas ended when, on third-and-one from the Arizona 47, the rookie Williams broke open down the sideline but Romo overthrew him. Arizona took the punt and drove from its 11 to the Dallas 7 on its next possession, but on fourth-and-2 Palmer underthrew Mendenhall. "It was a bad throw," Palmer said. "He did a good job, he was open. Ive got to give him the chance to make a play, and I didnt." On the first series of the second quarter, Romo threw short to Lance Dunbar, who evaded tacklers at the line of scrimmage and raced downfield to the Arizona 7, with the ball coming loose as the receiver went down. The ruling was he was down by contact, but Arians challenged and was successful, with Powers recovering at the Cardinals 4. The next time the Cowboys had the ball, Romo threw long to Dez Bryant at the Arizona 28. But Bryant fumbled as he went down and Jasper Brinkley recovered for the Cardinals at their 24. Arizona moved to the Dallas 36, and Feelys 53-yard field goal made it 6-0. Ortons second pass of the game was picked off by Powers at the Cowboys 30, but Feelys subsequent 30-yard field goal try was wide ride. Before the ugly half came to an end, Orton threw one more interception. Jefferson picked it off at the 31 and Feelys 40-yard field goal as the half ended put the Cardinals up 9-0. Tanney completed 11 straight passes in one stretch, eight of them on Dallas touchdown drive. Jeffersons pick of Tanneys pass came with 1:40 to play to clinch the victory.

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State has dropped two of its first three Big 12 games, sits squarely at .500 at the midway point of the season and now has Texas looming with injury uncertainty at quarterback.Make no mistake: These Wildcats are wounded.You win some, you lose some. You have to keep moving on to the next week, Kansas State linebacker Elijah Lee said. We have six games left -- a half of a season in front of us.Those six games will determine whether the Wildcats will qualify for a bowl game, build some momentum heading into next season, and perhaps even whether 77-year-old Bill Snyder decides to come back for yet another pursuit of a conference championship in his second go-around as head coach.The next couple of games are particularly crucial.First up is Texas, which has looked imminently beatable this season but nearly knocked off the same Oklahoma team that trounced the Wildcats on Saturday. Then comes a trip to Iowa State, which has given a hard time to just about everybody it has played but is still seeking its first league win.Win those two games and the Wildcats could still salvage a solid season.Lose both and the season could have slipped away.Making things even more desperate for the Wildcats is that they could be facing the Longhorns without quarterback Jesse Ertz, who was hurt just before halftime on Saturday. He tried to continue in the second half but pulled himself from the game after attempting one pass.Joe Hubener, who started after Ertz was lost for the season a year ago, entered in relief and had a hard time moving the offense. He was just 12 of 23 for 157 yards, but a big chunk of that came on a 54-yard touchdown toss to Dominique Heath that took advantage of some rare broken coverage.Hubener was sacked twice by a Sooners defense that has been regularly shredded.I think he was ready, Snyder insistted afterward.dddddddddddd He made some mistakes and threw some balls in the dirt, but I think if you took those away he would grade out comfortably well.The Wildcats certainly werent willing to put the blame on their quarterback. After all, those who were around last season have actually spent more time with Hubener than Ertz on the field.Im already used to Joe, said running back Charles Jones, who was held to 34 yards rushing by the Sooners. We played with him last year so it wasnt a big change. I felt he stepped up, made some plays but too little, too late. We all didnt make the plays.That has been a common problem for the Wildcats this season.Their offense was lackluster in a season-opening loss to Stanford, then had to settle for three field goals in a 17-16 loss at West Virginia. Their slow start on Saturday allowed the Sooners to get out to an early lead, forcing them to bail out of what has been a relatively productive run game.Perhaps more worrying for the Wildcats? Their defense, which had been among the best in Division I football, has been exposed in consecutive games against Texas Tech and the Sooners.They werent doing anything that we werent expecting. It was just struggling on the tackling, Kansas State defensive end Jordan Willis said. Guys were hitting them, but they just werent wrapping up -- just fundamental things. Its small things that just didnt go our way.Those are the kind of mistakes that were once rarely seen in Snyder-coached teams, but that have become a source of frustration last season and again this season.Not doing the assignment that was asked of you was really what happened, Willis said. Its a matter of correcting mistakes. Its the biggest thing weve got to do. ' ' '
