No. 5 Oklahoma 42, Texas A&M 14

Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione made a controversial joke in the off season about Oklahoma’s recent NCAA violations. But Saturday, the Sooners made a joke out of Franchione’s team. Oklahoma sophomore tight end Jermaine Gresham caught four touchdown passes and senior safety D.J Wolfe recorded 12 tackles.

No. 9 Missouri 55,

Colorado 10

There’s no doubt that Kansas made quite the statement Saturday by scoring 76 points, but Missouri’s play rang just as loud. Despite that it was the Tigers’ first game without standout safety Cornelius “Pig” Brown, they shut out the Buffaloes in the final three quarters of the game. Mizzou junior quarterback Chase Daniel threw for 421 yards and five touchdowns.

No. 14 Texas 38,

Oklahoma State 35

There’s no award for the best fourth quarter player in the nation. But if there was Texas running back Jamaal Charles would have already won it. Last week, he ran for three touchdowns in the final quarter to overcome a 19-point deficit. This week, the Longhorns were down 21 at the end of the third quarter. Charles accordingly rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Longhorns to victory in Stillwater, Okla.

Iowa State 31,

Kansas State 20

The Cyclones were troubled by the possibility of going winless in the Big 12 Conference. So Chris Singleton did something about it.

Texas Tech 38, Baylor 7

The Red Raiders were led by a freshman to their twelfth straight victory against the Bears. No, it wasn’t freshman receiver Michael Crabtree, the nation’s leading receiver. It was running back Aaron Crawford. The Memphis, Tenn., native rushed for two touchdowns and caught two more.

Oregon State 3

2.8 yards per carry and 187 yards passing just don’t sound like USC statistics. Luckily for the Trojans, their defense made up for the offensive woes.

No. 15 Michigan 28, Michigan State 24
