NEBRASKA 17, KANSAS STATE 3
A lot was on the line for the Wildcats.
A victory would have put them in the Big 12 championship game and made them bowl eligible. Instead, a loss to the Cornhuskers ended their season.
Nebraska will represent the North in the Big 12 championship game, but it will play Colorado next week in its final game of the regular season. The Cornhuskers have won four games in a row.
Coach Bo Pelini installed an I-formation in his offense and gave junior Roy Helu Jr. 26 carries to help Nebraska move the ball down the field.
The Wildcats failed to score a touchdown for the second-consecutive game.
TEXAS TECH 41, OKLAHOMA 13
A nightmare season for the Sooners got worse on Saturday.
Texas Tech’s Baron Batch rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns to help the Red Raiders give the Sooners their most losses in a season since 1999.
Last season, Oklahoma routed Texas Tech 65-21. The Sooners haven’t had a loss this bad since 2005 when they lost 45-12 to Texas.
With the victory, Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach became the winningest coach in Texas Tech history.
Texas Tech quarterback Taylor Potts wore the name “Nick” on the back of his jersey instead of “Potts.” Leach said after the game that the name change was a tribute to former Kansas linebacker Nick Reid, whom he admired.
MISSOURI 34, IOWA STATE 24
In his last three games, Missouri receiver Danario Alexander has put up numbers that could be considered pretty solid for an entire season. His 173-yard performance against Iowa State gave him 578 yards in the three games.
Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud threw a touchdown pass to put his team up 17-10 at halftime, but Missouri scored on two long touchdown passes in the second half to retake the lead.
The victory broke Missouri’s three-game losing streak at home. The Tigers haven’t lost more than three home games in a row since 1993.
Missouri running back Derrick Washington left the game in the second quarter with an apparent concussion. Blaine Gabbert helped the Missouri ground game out by rushing for 51 yards.
TEXAS A&M 38, BAYLOR 3
The Aggies secured bowl eligibility with a dominant rushing attack against the Bears.
Two running backs, Christine Michael and Cyrus Gray, each rushed for more than 100 yards on less than 14 carries. It was the second time this season the duo have rushed for more than 100 yards in the same game.
The loss guaranteed Baylor its 14th-consecutive losing season.
The teams combined for 25 penalties for 238 yards.
