NEBRASKA 20,
BAYLOR 10
In his first start, freshman quarterback Cody Green led the Cornhuskers to a 20-0 lead in the first half. Baylor didn’t score an offensive touchdown in the game.
Green finished the game 12-for-21 with one interception, but Nebraska cut down its turnover total to two after turning the ball over eight times against Iowa State the week before.
Baylor actually outgained Nebraska 276-273 and recorded seven more first downs. However, Nebraska’s Eric Martin blocked a punt on Baylor’s first possession and Justin Blatchford returned it for a touchdown.
Nebraska defensive end Jared Crick constantly harassed Baylor quarterback Nick Florence and recorded five sacks.
MISSOURI 36,
COLORADO 17
Though Kansas struggled in Boulder, Colo., Missouri used a 21-point first quarter to cruise to a victory against Colorado.
Missouri receiver Danario Alexander caught eight passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yard touchdown reception to put the Tigers up 14-0.
Colorado had -14 net rushing yards. Rodney Stewart rushed 10 times for just three yards but did pick up a touchdown.
Despite being hobbled by a right ankle sprain, Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert threw for 192 yards and two touchdowns.
It was the Tigers’ first victory in Big 12 play this year.
TEXAS A&M 35,
IOWA STATE 10
The Aggies never punted in a controlling offensive performance Saturday. Quarterback Jerrod Johnson threw for three touchdowns and ran for another as Texas A&M racked up more than 500 yards of total offense.
Iowa State’s Jerome Tiller, filling in for injured quarterback Austen Arnaud, threw two costly interceptions and Iowa State fell too far behind early in the game.
Texas A&M picked up 31 first downs, ten of them coming on third down conversions.
Alexander Robinson returned at running back for the Cyclones and rushed for 76 yards on 20 carries.
OKLAHOMA 42,
KANSAS STATE 30
Landry Jones is getting pretty comfortable at the helm of the Sooners’ offense.
The freshman quarterback filling in for Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns and held off a game Kansas State team Saturday.
Three of Jones’ passing touchdowns came in the first quarter and gave the Sooners an early 21-0 lead. From that point on, the Wildcats outscored the Sooners, but the deficit was too much to overcome.
Kansas State wide receiver Brandon Banks caught nine passes for 156 yards and returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the fourth time this season and the fifth time in his career.
TEXAS 41,
OKLAHOMA STATE 14
Cowboys quarterback Zach Robinson threw four interceptions and Texas returned two of them for touchdowns in Oklahoma State’s 41-14 loss at home against Texas.
Oklahoma State outgained Texas 277-275 but had five turnovers compared with Texas’ one.
The victory gives the Longhorns complete control of their destiny in the Big 12 South. With victories against one-loss teams Oklahoma and now Oklahoma State, Texas could even slip up once along the way and still be division champions.
