And now we’ll see – it’s not stretch to call him the most important X factor in the Big 12 race. Beating West Virginia at home is impressive, but it would’ve been more impressive a month ago; not to mention it was at home, early. It was just the third time this season that the potent Baylor offense has been held scoreless for an entire quarter.

Melissa Triebwasser: Baylor 70, Iowa State 17 – Iowa State’s defense is… not… a thing. During the near-upset against TCU, running with Hubener was the name of the first half. Hide your children, football fans, this will get ugly, fast.
Scoring StoryThere were 20 rushing touchdowns scored that averaged 7.7 yards in length and 14 passing touchdowns that averaged 16.1 yards in length.
Baylor finished the game without quarterback Seth Russell, who sustained a fracture in one of the bones in his neck on a 4-yard run without about 5 1/2 minutes left. Meanwhile back in Iowa, liquor sales again set new records for the week. He is the first 5-star athlete ever to come to Baylor. The Bears pull through in the second half.
The Longhorns (7-5-4) lost their final two conference matches after winning three straight and ended the Big 12 season at 4-3-1. Big blowout win. Total domination. His first two touchdowns were on short runs, but his last one, which secured victory, covered 10 yards with 1:47 remaining. The coaches’ ballots list Ohio State, Baylor, TCU, LSU and Michigan State in the top five. Asked after the game about running up the score, Art Briles replies: “If he dies, he dies”. OSU will play Texas Tech while the Sooners face Kansas. But, two names have been there since the preseason: Leonard Fournette and Trevone Boykin.
Saturday was the worst of the worst in Snyder’s tenure(s), and K-State history, in terms of home shutout losses.
The Texas soccer team closed its Big 12 regular season with a 2-1 loss to Baylor on Sunday afternoon at soggy Mike A. Myers Stadium.
With TCU having an off week, there are still two games being hosted in Texas. Also, my K-State alum dad and I will be at the game, so that’s fun. With Kansas and Iowa State up next, it’s going to get ugly. That seems to be the case this week as Hurricane Patricia is ready to turn the Lone Star State into a swimming pool. But K-State will win by, like, a field goal or something.
Mason Jamboogie: Texas 34, Kansas State 20 – The past 2 weeks for Texas have included a huge moral boost after toppling arch rival Oklahoma followed by an extra week to rest and prepare for the next game. K-State goes for two in the final minutes but doesn’t get it.
Marshall Weber: Oklahoma 44 vs. Texas Tech 41 – If you’re a betting person, I’d take the over and Tech. If the O line cranks it up like it did against Texas Tech, look out. Texas State will try and build off its win over South Alabama against the Eagles.
Hosch opened the scoring with a 2-yard run early in the second quarter for Princeton (6-0, 3-0 Ivy League) and found Ben Braunecker for a 5-yard TD to give the Crimson the lead for good at 14-7 before half. The win puts Rice back over the.
Oklahoma has now outscored opponents 118-27 since their embarrassing defeat in the Red River Rivalry. But I have a feeling OU will burn right through them.
Samantha Calimbahin: Oklahoma 45, Texas Tech 41 – Offense! With the run defense totally unable to slow down anything the Sooners tried to do, the passing game had to rock – it didn’t. Jones gained 87 in the second half. Either way, Oklahoma and Baylor are going to be the toughest challenges for TCU. This year they make it really close, but OU edges them out by a field goal.
Kansas State’s two-game total of nine points is its lowest since 2006. “They had this last weekend off, so they should be pretty fresh and probably antsy to play”. The Red Raiders aren’t good enough to beat the decent teams when they’re -3 in turnover margin. Texas (3-4)W, Kansas State 23-9: Kansas State has a middling offense, and Texas took advantage of the time off to stuff it cold, allowing just 242 yards. Oklahoma State cracked the top 10 in the Coaches poll this week, in the 10th spot, and is No. 12 in the AP rankings.

Warrior Horned Frog: Oklahoma State 49, Kansas 14 – Kansas begins inquires to the Big 12… “It doesn’t seem fair!” 20 minutes into the game it was OSU 28 Kansas 0. Kudos to the birds, though, for an awesome battle against Tech last week. The only other NCAA team with five consecutive 60-point games was Oklahoma in 2008.
