BOULDER, Colorado (Ticker) -- Mike Moschetti returned from a week off to throw for 382 yards and a career-high four touchdowns as Colorado won for the third time in four weeks with a 38-24 Big 12 Conference victory over Oklahoma. Moschetti, who sat out last week's win over Iowa State with post-concussion headaches, completed 22-of-31 passes with one interception. He also led Colorado with 64 yards on 14 carries. The senior from California fired two touchdown passes in the first half to give Colorado (5-3, 4-1 Big 12 North) a 21-10 lead. He threw a 14-yard strike to Marcus Stiggers and a 49-yarder to Javon Green. Moschetti, who had started 18 straight contests before last week, threw four TD passes for the first time since Christmas against Oregon in the Aloha Bowl. Green added an 88-yard scoring reception midway through the fourth quarter and finished with 133 yards on three catches. The defense held Oklahoma (4-3, 2-2 South) to minus-11 rushing yards and intercepted the dangerous Josh Heupel four times, powering the Buffaloes to their eighth in nine games over the Sooners. Colorado trails Kansas State by one game in the North Division and visit the Wildcats next Saturday. Heupel was just 26-of-58 as he become the Sooners' single-season leader in passing yards and total offense. His 328 passing yards gave him 2,424, breaking Cale Gundy's 1993 mark. Heupel's 306 total yards broke Gundy's record of 2,291, also set in 1993. Heupel's 49-yard scoring pass to Jarrail Jackson with 8:37 left cut the deficit to 31-24 but the Sooners got no closer and absorbed their third loss in four games. Jackson caught seven passes for 148 yards for Oklahoma, which pounded Texas A&M, 51-6, last week but still needs three wins to qualify for a bowl berth.
