Big 12 Wrap: Week 4
It's time for another Big 12 Wrap, my weekly pithy review of the games in the conference.
Here we go:
Texas 37, Iowa State 14
Iowa State -- or maybe the weather -- kept this from being quite as big a blowout as it might have been, but it was all Texas after Iowa State narrowed the score to 16-14 at one point. I-AA Sam Houston provides a final tuneup before the Cotton Bowl.
Oklahoma 59, Middle Tennessee State 0
The Sooners finally get the complete game that has eluded them so far this season, scoring at will and holding MTSU to under 100 yards. The competition will be a little stiffer in the Cotton Bowl in two weeks.
Nebraska 56, Troy 0
These Trojans were a little easier than last week's.
Missouri 31, Ohio 6
Mizzou quietly shoots out to 4-0, and should manage 5-0 with Colorado in Columbia next week.
Texas A&M 45, Louisiana Tech 14
Another meaningless win that does little to prepare A&M for conference play. But hey, after last week's near loss, a blowout is progress in Fran-land.
Kansas 13, South Florida 7
Who would pay to see this game? Seriously, would you go to this game if the tickets were free? I wouldn't.
Army 27, Baylor 20
Baylor just can't finish. Sadly, being in games against bad teams at the end represents progress at Baylor.
Houston 35, Oklahoma State 24
Oklahoma State comes up short in the battle of two teams with porous defenses. Road games at Kansas State and Kansas start OSU's conference season after a bye next week.
Louisville 24, Kansas State 6
The cupboard is bare at Kansas State, so I expected Louisville to score twice as much as they did (injuries and all). Moral victory for KSU? Roadtrip to Baylor next week could be a battle. That's how far things have fallen.
Georgia 14, Colorado 13
I watched a lot of this game. I still don't understand how Colorado led a very good Georgia team for much of it, or how they managed to let it slip away at the end.
Big 12 Bullies Beat Hell Out Of I-AA Weaklings
Texas Tech played a I-AA weakling this week. We do not discuss such "contests."

I think A&M has taken the Snyderization of a non-conference schedule to a new level.
