Some things to know about Week 9 in the Big 12 Conference, the start of five consecutive weeks through the end of the regular season when every team plays every week: GAME OF THE WEEK Texas Tech (5-2, 3-1) at Iowa State (3-3, 2-2). The Red Raiders and Cyclones have each won their last two games — only league-leading Texas has a longer winning streak among Big 12 teams. And both teams have true freshman starting quarterbacks. Brock Purdy hadn’t thrown a pass this season before starting the last two games for Iowa State.
He threw for seven touchdowns and ran for another as the Cyclones won in consecutive weeks over Top 25 teams for the first time since 1973 — at Oklahoma State and home against West Virginia. Came on in Tech’s opener after an injury and was the nation’s top passer before a crushing hit against West Virginia left him with a partially collapsed lung. He missed one game before returning last week to throw for 408 yards and three TDs against. BEST MATCHUP Oklahoma State passing game with sophomore receiver Tylan Wallace against Texas secondary with freshman Caden Sterns.
Wallace is second in the Big 12 with 102.6 yards receiving per game, with 40 catches for 718 yards and four TDs. Sterns has three interceptions in four Big 12 games while Texas has allowed only 223 yards passing and a conference-low six TDs in that span. INSIDE THE NUMBERS No.
6 Texas has its first six-game winning streak since 2013. The last longer streak for the was 13 in a row in 2009, when they won their last Big 12 title and were national runner-ups. Texas Tech has allowed only 20 points in the second half of its four Big 12 games. Kansas true freshman RB Pooka Williams has 620 yards rushing through his six games. The only player in school history with more yards in his first six career games was Gale Sayers with 709 yards in 1962.
LONG SHOT Kansas State (3-4, 1-3) is coming off a win over Oklahoma State, but the go to No. 8 Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1) as a more than three-touchdown underdog. The are 41-0 as a ranked team against K-State, and have a 74-19-4 overall series lead. The Sooners have won nine of 11 in the series since K-State beat then-No.
1 Oklahoma 35-7 in the 2003 Big 12 championship game. PLAYER TO WATCH Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has thrown at least three touchdowns in six consecutive games. Murray has completed 115 of 159 passes (72 percent) for 1,977 yards with 25 TDs and three interceptions. His 224.9 quarterback efficiency rating is well above the FBS records in that category set each of the past two seasons by Baker Mayfield, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback he followed at OU.
Baker Mayfield is the best player in college football, and a worthy recipient of the Heisman Trophy, who will go on to become JAG in the NFL. Mayfield is your typical NFL “Just Another Guy” in the making. If Mayfield is smart, and there’s evidence to suggest that’s not a given, he will just follow the Colt McCoy, Chase Daniel model and be a good soldier and figure out the NFL. In Oklahoma’s 41-17 win against TCU in the Big 12 title game on Saturday at JerryWorld, Mayfield did nothing to damage his overwhelming odds to win the Heisman Trophy, nor help his chances of being a good NFL quarterback.
As seen by too many previous examples to list, the Heisman doesn’t correlate to a long, successful NFL career. Mayfield will not be an upper tier NFL quarterback. Five years from now, he will be lucky to be an NFL quarterback.
He’s generously listed as 6-foot-1, and there is nothing to suggest he can be a typical drop-back passer, which is what all NFL teams want, and need, to succeed. He’s a good athlete who knows how to win, and once he puts on an NFL uniform you will see just how small he actually stands. Mayfield is a great college quarterback who can make a game 1-on-11; he’s the 6-foot-5 center who can win an NCAA tournament basketball game but, when facing the biggest and meanest at the next level, will be exposed. He’s also a punk who will earn a punch, kick, and a late hit or two – maybe from his own teammates – when he reaches the NFL.
Mayfield will likely fall in line with the many other great college quarterbacks who won the Heisman trophy but flamed out in the NFL: Robert Griffin III. Johnny Manziel. I’m calling Jameis Winston a bust right now. Sam Bradford.
Matt Leinart. Chris Weinke. Danny Wuerffel. Gino Torretta. Charlie Ward. TCU quarterback Kenny Hill was playing with, and possibly even out-playing, Mayfield in the game’s first 30 minutes before he and his teammates were buried in the second half.
In the first half, Hill completed 19 of 24 passes for 159 yards with two touchdowns, and he ran seven times for 36 yards. The Frogs trailed 24-17 after falling behind 17-0. He did not keep it up in the third quarter as both he and his teammates were overwhelmed. His third-quarter interception was the type of play that will, wrongly, define his time at TCU.
He threw into double coverage from deep in his own territory; it’s the type of play a fifth-year senior can’t make. No TCU player drew as much criticism as Hill did this season, most of it wrong. The only game where anyone can say he is the reason TCU loss was the 14-7 defeat at Iowa State. Kenny Hill is a big reason TCU made the Big 12 title game and will likely go to the Alamo Bowl. TCU’s defense was completely exposed by one team this season, which happened to be their opponent on Saturday.

The Frogs allowed a total of 62 second-half points for the entire season, including just six in their previous seven second halves. The Sooners out-scored TCU 17-0 in the second half on Saturday.

The Sooners were held to less than 30 points in only one game this season, against Texas when they scored 29.

TCU did a much better job against Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson on Saturday than it did in the first meeting when he went off for four touchdowns and 290 yards rushing/receiving. Anderson ran 24 times for 93 yards this time, but. The Sooners had more toys to do the necessary damage.
2.5 Defensive end Mat Boesen was too small against Oklahoma’s Orlando Brown to make a difference. Boesen has 13 sacks this season, including 5.5 last week in the win against Baylor. But beating Brown (6-foot-8, 345) was literally too big of a task for Boesen (6-4, 240). Boesen was no threat, and finished with no sacks. TCU had a great season. The Horned Frogs were picked to finish fifth in the Big 12 preseason poll, and wound up winning 10 games and made the Big 12 title game. They just were not better than Oklahoma.
