Colorado lost at Kansas, making the Jayhawks look like real football school, 20-15.
Nice try. Still don't believe it.
Maybe it's a peace offering for Ricardo Patton's team.
The CU passing game against a poor defense, was pitiful, and a freshman quarterback did them in on the other side of the ball.
Ryan Walters and Mason Crosby, for their heroics, not enough as the Buffs speed hard towards possibly the second-worst season in school history, since CU went 0-4 in 1890.
1890.
Texas went into Lubbock full of bravado to beat up on Texas Tech, wet itself, but left with a win anyway, 35-31.
Red Raiders' quarterback Graham Harrell's 512 yards passing proves nothing more than video game, fantasy numbers as Longhorns main-man Colt McCoy throws for 256 yards and four scores.
UT fell behind 21-0 before realizing they had to actually show up to win this game.
McCoy wasn't as highly thought of as fellow Longhorns' true freshman QB Jevan Snead or 2007 recruit John Brantley but his play this season has made Texas a top-5 team.
Oklahoma rolled into Missouri and quickly showed the old sheriff is still runnin' things, bouncing those pretenders, also known as Tigers, 26-10.
Paul Thompson is no Jason White or Josh Heupel at quarterback but then again he doesn't need to be with Allen Patrick being a pack mule, 33 carries for 161 yards. That said, Thompson, Bernard Jackson with experience and better receivers, did throw for 131 yards and two touchdowns.
Chase Daniel, much hyped here, well, was exposed. Three interceptions, no touchdown passes.
Oklahoma State lulled Nebraska to sleep before opening up a can of whup ass, knocking the Huskers out, 41-29.
Down 16-0, the Cowboys roared back behind quarterback Bobby Reid and tailback Dantrell Savage.
Reid threw for two touchdowns and rang up 284 yards of total offense while Savage scored twice and ran for 122 of the Pokes' 275 on the ground.
The Huskers simply don't play much defense anymore.
Texas A & M handled upstart Baylor, 31-21, with an attack that was full of big plays and one that totaled 507 yards of total offense.
Quarterback Stephen McGee is the all-around quarterback Bernard Jackson desires to be, throwing for 215 yards and two scores while running for 89.
A & M has only been beaten once this season but line them up against a top-10 team and they likely are in over their head.
K-State rolled over Iowa State in the second half to post a 31-10 victory. Colorado isn't having the only disappointing season in the Big 12 as both of these schools were expected to be better, too.
Freshman quarterback Josh Freeman threw a touchdown pass, freshman tailback Leon Patton ran for one and the Wildcats got an interception return for a score. The Purple even played a rare strong game on defense.
You know the feeling here is that CU is going to be something under Dan Hawkins but it also says here that K-State is going to be strong again under new coach Ron Prince. Those fans just need a dose of patience, too.
