Big 12 Wrap: Week 5
The Big 12 pretty much went according to form this week (although I'm sure Aggie fans would dispute that). Here's a quick look at the games:
Nebraska 39, Kansas 32 (OT)
A sellout crowd in Lincoln had to be horrified that the hometown lads required overtime to put away Kansas. They had to be equally horrified watching their defense give up up nearly 600 yards to a very average Kansas team. Then again, it beats last year's 40-15 loss to a very average Kansas team. Such is the state of Callahan's Cornhusker nation.
Missouri 28, Colorado 13
This was a little closer than expected, but it's still good enough for a 5-0 start for Gary Pinkel and Mizzou. Will Colorado win a game this year?
Texas Tech 31, Texas A&M 27
A&M played great second-half defense to take a lead in this one, only to give it right back as Tech drove right down the field at the end. This loss will likely set the end of the Dennis Franchione era in motion, unless somehow A&M's overpaid coach manages to upset Texas and Oklahoma.
Baylor 17, Kansas State 3
Who wants to watch games like this?
Iowa State 28, Northern Iowa 27
These Iowa in-state rivalries have a way of producing interesting football games. The starting quarterbacks were a combined 47 of 58 in this one.
Big 12 Bullies Beat Hell Out Of I-AA Weaklings
This week, it was Texas taking its crack at a I-AA weakling. We don't comment on games that BCS conference teams should not be playing in the first place.
