MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) _ Jonathon Beasley threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and cornerback Dyshod Carter scored twice Saturday as No. 9 Kansas State kept its Big 12 title game hopes alive with a 66-0 win over Missouri.

Frank Murphy added two TD runs and Adrian Beard recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown as the Wildcats worked out their frustrations from the previous week's 41-15 loss to No. 5 Nebraska.

Kansas State (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) could still win the North Division if Colorado upsets the Cornhuskers on Friday. Missouri (4-7, 1-7) committed six turnovers and was shut out for the third time in five games.

The Wildcats scored on their first five possessions _ plus one of Missouri's _ in leading 35-0 after one quarter and 42-0 at the half. Their 35 first-quarter points set a school record for a period, breaking the record of 34 set last year in the second quarter against Northern Illinois.

Runs of 7 yards by Murphy and 1 yard by Beasley, and Beasley's 38-yard pass to Quincy Morgan gave Kansas State a 21-0 lead with 5:55 left in the first quarter. Two plays after Morgan's catch, Carter recovered a stray pitchout in the end zone for a 28-0 lead.

David Allen ran 44 yards to put the Wildcats up 52-0 with 5:59 left in the third quarter, and 53 seconds later Carter intercepted Jim Dougherty's pass in the left flat and ran it back for a 59-0 lead.

Murphy added a 7-yard TD run with 2:34 left in the first quarter, and Beasley threw 30 yards to Aaron Lockett for a 42-0 lead on Kansas State's first possession of the second.

That pass closed out a 5-for-7, 173-yard day for Beasley.

Kansas State's string of scoring possessions finally ended when Jamie Rheem missed a 45-yard field goal against the wind with 58 seconds left in the half. He hit a 43-yarder for a 45-0 lead on the Wildcats' first possession of the third quarter.
