Saturday, he put on one of the greatest one-man receivers shows I have ever seen in college football. It wasn't just the numbers, though the numbers were plenty good -- 10 catches, 200 yards, three touchdowns.

No, it was the show. In the second quarter, with the scored tied 3-3, Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert lofted a high pass -- it looked almost like a Hail Mary pass -- in the direction of Alexander, who leaped up, hip-checked the Kansas State safety in mid-air, took the ball away, landed on his feet and ran in for a 54-yard touchdown. It was Randy Moss stuff.

Then there was the pass Alexander caught over the middle. He ran a couple of steps, then suddenly stopped, pivoted (holding himself up with his hand), ran the opposite direction to get some extra yards. It was Terrell Owens stuff.

Later, he caught a 12-yard pass over the middle, eluded the safety and hit max-speed. At least three Kansas State players had clear angles on him -- but none caught him. He went 80 yards for the touchdown, the fourth time this season he has caught a touchdown pass longer than 70 yards. That's Larry Fitzgerald stuff.
