Big 12 Wrap Up

Monday, October 6, 2008

No. 17 Oklahoma State 56, Texas A&M 28

Positive Yardage: Cowboy quarterback Zac Robinson made his passes count, completing only 10 throws but three of them for touchdowns. Robinson only threw 13 passes. His three touchdowns throws were all to wide receiver Dez Bryant, who also added a 78-yard punt return touchdown.

Negative Yardage: The Aggies out-gained the Cowboys 402-401, but they couldn’t get out of their own way. Texas A&M turned the ball over five times and committed nine penalties for 63 yards. Quarterback Jerrod Johnson threw 43 passes, completing 24 of them.

Next up for Oklahoma State: At No. 3 Missouri

Next up for Texas A&M: Kansas State

No. 4 Missouri 52,

Nebraska 17

Positive Yardage: Tiger quarterback Chase Daniel rested in the fourth quarter after completing 18-of-23 passes for three touchdowns. Derrick Washington reminded everyone that Missouri can run the ball, too, as he went off for 139 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries.

Negative Yardage: Few things went right for Nebraska. Big Red averaged 2.3 yards per carry, turned the ball over twice and it was penalized 14 times for 101 yards. The Cornhuskers had no defensive answers for the Tigers potent attack.

Next up for Missouri: No. 17 Oklahoma State

Next up for Nebraska: At No. 7 Texas Tech

No. 1 Oklahoma 49, Baylor 17

Positive Yardage: The Sooners opened up a 28-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Oklahoma rushed for five touchdowns and the offense finished six yards shy of 600 total yards. For Baylor, freshman quarterback Robert Griffin ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns.

Negative Yardage: The Bears converted only 4-of-15 third down conversions. Griffin completed less than 50 percent of his passes and averaged just 2.9 yards per completion. Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford threw his third interception of the season and Oklahoma incurred six penalties for 56 yards.

Next up for Oklahoma: No. 5 Texas

Next up for Baylor: Iowa State

No. 5 Texas 38,

Colorado 14

Positive Yardage: Four Longhorns carried the ball at least eight times and teamed for 167 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy threw two touchdowns in the first quarter and wide receiver Chris Ogbonnaya averaged 19.3 yards per reception.

Negative Yardage: Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins struggled mightily. He completed just over a third of his passes and averaged 3.6 yards per completion. The Buffaloes rushed 28 times for 49 yards and freshman running back Darrell Scott exited in the third quarter with a sprained ankle.

Next up for Texas: No. 1 Oklahoma

Next up for Colorado: At No. 16 Kansas

No. 7 Texas Tech 58, Kansas State 28

Positive Yardage: Red Raider quarterback Graham Harrell tied his career high with six touchdown passes. Texas Tech’s offense accumulated 626 yards as nine players caught multiple passes.

Negative Yardage: Kansas State was consistent, scoring seven points in each quarter. That doesn’t do much good against Texas Tech, though. The Wildcats threw for 183 yards and lost two fumbles. Coach Ron Prince’s team was also 2-for-12 on third down conversions.

Next up for Texas Tech: Nebraska

Next up for Kansas State: At Texas A&M
