Around the Big 12

Headlines you may not have seen this morning:

  • Iowa State doesn't stink as bad as you thought - Iowa State holds Sooners to season low 17 points. The cyclones had four trips inside the red zone, but only came up with seven points, as a result of a missed FG, turning the ball over on downs, and a DJ Wolfe interception off of a ball tipped by Curtis Lofton.
  • Shamu, we're not in Kansas anymore- Jayhawks had played five home games and one at K State. The Buffaloes had threw two interceptions, gave up a a fumble and two failed fourth down conversions. Todd Reesing, Kansas QB, played well on the road.
  • Nebraska's new "hot butter" defensive scheme fails against Aggies - Huskers D now nonexistent. If you see it, please notify Tom Osborne. Aggies beat N 36-14.
  • Baylor tries Weed, loses to Longhorns - JD Weed goes 7-12 against the Horns. Offensive ineptitude continues for the Bears. A battle for last place in the Big 12 South (seriously, Baylor wins this and Texas is in last place in Big12S after four games) goes the Horns way in the fourth quarter.
  • Boone State doesn't choke, defeats Wildcats -Pokes kick a field goal with 2 seconds remaining to defeat KState who were led by Josh Freeman's 400+ yards passing. As a Sooner, I can usually count of the Pokes to choke games away. However, they've twice come back in the fourth quarter to win. The Cowboys ran for 329 yards, with Savage and Robinson going for over 100 yards.
  • Missouri defense gets off bus for TT game - Chase Daniels outduels Graham Harrell in Columbia, Mo. Harrell throws four picks, and TT goes 3-7 on fourth down, as the Tigers win 41-10.
