For participation in a bowl, a team must record a minimum of six victories. Each team has won twice. Baylor has Iowa State and Kansas State next before playing against Oklahoma and OK State.

“We’re excited about being 6-0”, Gundy said. They also could be staring at another Baylor beatdown. The Bears have been a second half team on defense all season.
Last Saturday, they squandered a 17-2 halftime lead at West Virginia, but found a way to prevail in OT.
Review: In his first full season as starter, Mason Rudolph leads a top-15 passing offense. His 167 completions and 257 attempts are the most in the Big 12, and he has thrown 19 touchdowns with five interceptions.
Skyler Howard threw four touchdown passes for 289 yards with one interception. On the year, Walsh sports an efficiency rating of 235.57. “I can assure that we made them understand that that loses football games”. Russell has been a surprise after sitting behind Bryce Petty on the depth charts a year ago.
West Virginia scored the only goal it would need less than four minutes into the match when a shot from senior forward Kailey Utley was deflected to the back of the KU net by a Jayhawk defender.
It was 26-all with 2:44 to play.
Baylor (5-0) was 6-0 a year ago when they played West Virginia and experienced a fourth quarter collapse, leading to 14 unanswered points by the Mountaineers and a 41-27 upset loss.
If they single him, he’s going to catch the ball. Against Texas Tech this season, he ran for 81 yards and posted a pair of scores. Anthony Miller caught 10 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown. Texas Tech is okay, but when the second-best win is over Rice, there’s an issue. When you do the same thing over and over again with better players it typically works out pretty good for you. The four sacks against Oklahoma were nice, and the D has dialed it up a bit with nine in the last three games, but it hasn’t done enough to slow down the Sooner and Cowboy offenses. Kwiatkoski averages 6.6 tackles per game.
A national championship game between Baylor and Ohio State would probably be the most exciting matchup possible. 7-3 record with one game till Conference starts.
Before that game, Petty had only been sacked seven times, an average of just over one per game.
The Bears’ secondary has shown itself to be vulnerable to the big play throughout the season and nothing has changed that. Seaton has been productive in the red zone. Being a defensive coordinator in the Big 12 has to be a headache-inducing experience. “With Art being an offensive guy, it’s the same stuff with only a few more experienced and talented guys”. Otherwise, the linebackers have been solid.
Kansas State is not going to be very good this year. For a coordinator (Glenn Spencer) who stresses the importance of turnovers, Whitener is a playmaker. Let’s take a look at the facts, Jack. At strong safety, Flowers is an emerging star.
In the end, Penn State had 11 corner kicks against West Virginia’s low two. That’s really the way we’ve always approached everything.
Callahan answered with his second 36-yard field goal for the Bears.
If Baylor can keep up even six yards per carry, that would be a testament to how well this team stretches the field. This one could go many ways.
“J.W. gives us an option”, said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. Now, it is apparent that this is Gundy’s best defense.
The leader of the offense is starting QB Mason Rudolph. The Bears have been in the habit of allowing big plays all season but have kept the points relatively down.
“He can pull it and ran and hurt you”, Gibson said. West Virginia led the nation in turnover margin through three games but has committed 10 turnovers during the three game losing streak, forcing just five.
This might be the hardest team in the Big 12 to project.
West Virginia’s 68-yard scoring drive ended with Howard’s three-yard run for a TD.
Can the run game improve … at all?

OSU’s defense ranks tops in the Big 12. Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah (7.5) is nearly halfway to the record-setting 16 Leslie O’Neal had in 1984. He still ranks eighth in the nation, with 1,892 passing yards this season. If they double, he’s going to catch the ball. He scored on a 4-yard reception at West Virginia.
