BIG 12 ROUNDUP
No. 4 Oklahoma 52, Texas Tech 21: Caleb Williams threw for 402 yards and six touchdowns and host Oklahoma finally put together a complete game. Marvin Mims caught four passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns, and Mario Williams had five receptions for 100 yards and a score to help the Sooners (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) extend their nation-leading winning streak to 17 games. Oklahoma held Texas Tech to 373 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers. Donovan Smith passed for 192 yards for the Red Raiders (5-4, 2-4) in Sonny Cumbie’s first game as interim coach since Matt Wells was fired. Erik Ezukanma caught eight passes for 123 yards and a touchdown.
No. 15 Oklahoma State 55, Kansas 3: Spencer Sanders threw for 157 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 53 yards and a score, all in the first half, to lead the host Cowboys. Jaylen Warren added 69 yards rushing on just nine carries and backup running back Dominic Richardson gained 79 yards and a touchdown on 11 rushes for Oklahoma State (7-1, 4-1 Big 12). It was a rough day for Kansas (1-7, 0-5), which lost its seventh consecutive contest.
No. 16 Baylor 31, Texas 24: Baylor tight end Ben Sims had a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter before Abram Smith spun away for a 32-yard scamper to the end zone as the host Bears became the third team in a row to overcome a double-digit deficit to beat Texas. The handoff to the sweeping Sims for a score with 12:48 left put the Bears (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) back ahead for the first time since the first quarter. Texas then had a failed fake punt attempt, setting up Smith’s nifty run three plays later when he took a quick pitch left, reversed field after spinning away from a defender and ran all the way to the end zone.
West Virginia 38, No. 22 Iowa State 31: Jarret Doege threw three touchdown passes, Leddie Brown ran for two scores and host West Virginia upset Iowa State. West Virginia (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) came alive on offense after averaging 20 points in its first four conference games. Iowa State (5-3, 3-2) was missing leading tackler Mike Rose because of an undisclosed injury and the league’s top defense gave up a seasonhigh 492 yards. The linebacker had started all 45 previous games in his career. The Cyclones had kept their seven previous opponents under 350 yards. Breece Hall rushed for 167 yards, including a 70-yard TD on Iowa State’s third play from scrimmage.
Kansas State 31, TCU 12: Host Kansas State’s Felix Anudike-Uzomah matched the Football Bowl Subdivision record with six sacks and forced two fumbles against TCU. Anudike-Uzomah broke the school record of four sacks set by Chris Johnson against Missouri in 2000. Three other players in the NCAA’s highest division also have had six, including longtime NFL star Elvis Dumervil with Louisville. Skylar Thompson threw for 242 yards and a touchdown while also running for a score for the Wildcats (5-3, 2-3 Big 12).
