Big 12 scoreboard

Texas Tech 49, West Virginia 14: If you saw this coming, you should immediately head to Vegas. The Red Raiders (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) put last week's loss to Oklahoma behind them and proved it was no fluke that they ranked second in the nation in total defense. They shut down Geno Smith -- yeah, that Geno Smith -- with a zone defense that had few holes. Smith's completion percentage took a nosedive as he went 29 of 55 for 275 yards and a TD.West Virginia (5-1, 2-1) could not contain Texas Tech QB Seth Doege, who threw for 499 yards and six TDs. TE Jace Amaro also had a big day with five catches for 156 yards and a TD. (For more on the game, check out CBSSports.com's Eye on College Football blog) 

Oklahoma 63, Texas 21: So much for Texas' resurgence this season. The Longhorn offense that had shown some firepower through five games struggled to get a first down. The Texas defense that has struggled tackling is still struggling. And Oklahoma (4-1, 2-1 Big 12) is back in the Big 12 title hunt. Landry Jones threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns. Blake Bell ran for four scores. Damien Williams had a 95-yard TD run and 167 yards rushing, and FB Trey Millard had five catches for 119 yards and a TD. The Longhorns (4-2, 1-2) were outgained 678-288. (For more on the game, check out CBSSports.com's Eye on College Football blog)

Kansas State 27, Iowa State 21: Kansas State (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) sits alone in first place. The Wildcats were not spectacular in Ames, but they did enough offensively to dominate time of possession by more than 20 minutes, and the defense forced a turnover on downs on Iowa State's final two drives. Collin Klein ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns, and John Hubert added 79 yards. Iowa State (4-2, 1-2) QB Jared Barnett was inaccurate in his second start, going 16 of 36 for 166 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. (For more on the game, check out CBSSports.com's Eye on College Football blog)

TCU 49, Baylor 21: Just when it looked like TCU might be in trouble after the loss of Casey Pachall and a home loss to Iowa State, the Horned Frogs (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) turned in a dominant performance. The main difference from one week to the next was turnovers. TCU gave it away five times against Iowa State and then won the turnover battle 6-0 against Baylor. QB Trevone Boykin had five touchdowns -- four passing and one running -- and threw for 261 yards. The Horned Frogs intercepted Nick Florence four times, and Baylor (3-2, 0-2) is one of only two Big 12 teams without a conference win. 

Oklahoma State 20, Kansas 14: Kansas (1-5, 0-3 Big 12) backup QB Michael Cummings nearly ended KU's two-year drought in the Big 12. Cummings led two fourth-quarter scoring drives and nearly got the ball with a chance to win with about two minutes left. A dramatic finish was wiped away by a roughing the punter call, which allowed Oklahoma State (3-2, 1-1) to run out the clock. QB J.W. Walsh did enough to get the win, throwing for 255 yards and a touchdown and running for 49 yards and a TD. KU's Dayne Crist was 10 of 22 and might have lost his starting job to Caummings, a redshirt freshman. 

Play of the day: Millard jumped up and over Texas S Adrian Phillips after catching a short pass from Jones. The Sooners' fullback went 73 yards before the Longhorns could pull him down. Millard averaged 20.5 yards per touch as OU offensive coordinator Josh Heupel found a variety of ways to get him involved. 

He said what? Texas coach Mack Brown on his team's performance (or lack thereof): "We didn't play well as a team. I thought they outcoached us. We were inept offensively. It's just unacceptable for Texas to lose like that to Oklahoma, much less anybody and especially two years in a row. I'm disappointed for our fans, our coaches and our players because that's not who we are."

RapidReports defensive star of the day: S Tony Jefferson, Oklahoma. A tip of the hat to defensive coordinator Mike Stoops, whose game plan took Texas completely out of its rhythm. Stoops put Jefferson in a postion to make plays. The Sooners' star safety finished with a team-high seven tackles, including two for a loss, and an interception. 

RapidReports offensive star of the day: QB Doege, Texas Tech. Doege outplayed the Heisman favorite and was brilliant on a windy day in Lubbock. His 480 passing yards was a season high and his six touchdowns tied a season high. 

His seat is getting uncomfortable: UT's Brown. Is it time for AD DeLoss Dodds to start nudging Brown toward retirement? Brown can still bring in the talent, yet the results have not been up to Texas' standards the past three seasons. Since 2009, Texas is 7-13 in the Big 12, which includes three straight losses to Oklahoma. The last two have come by a combined 80 points. 

A possible spot on the bench for: Iowa State's Barnett. Barnett's running ability gives the Cyclones more offensive versatility, but Steele Jantz is the better passer and Barnett's inaccuracy cost the Cyclones in the fourth quarter. Barnett had some receivers open on the team's final two drives but e could not complete the throws. 

Why you care about these three stat lines: 

  1. West Virginia's defense allowed 674 yards and forced Texas Tech to punt only once. Defensive coordinator Joe DeForest came to Morgantown with a philosophy that you win in the Big 12 by forcing turnovers. It also helps to get a stop every now and again. Unless the Mountaineers figure out their defensive issues, it's difficult to consider them a Big 12 title contender.
  2. Texas ran for 73 yards on 24 carries against Oklahoma. The Longhorns have too much talent in their backfield to put up these kinds of numbers. Even without Malcolm Brown, they had two talented backs in Johnathan Gray and Joe Bergeron, who combined for 20 yards on 12 carries. 
  3. Oklahoma scored on all eight of its red-zone trips. The Sooners had six touchdowns and two field goals on those trips. That, along with an 8.6 yards-per-carry average for OU, speaks to the tackling woes that have haunted the Longhorns this year. 

Key number: 1. Only one team remains undefeated in the Big 12. Mike Gundy said this week he believes a two-loss team might win the conference title. After what happened on a bizarre day in the Big 12, that looks a lot more possible than it did before Saturday.
