BIG 12 ROUNDUP

-

No. 18 Baylor 27, No. 4 Oklahoma 14: Gerry Bohanon threw a touchdown and ran for two more scores, Baylor’s defense constantly pressured both Oklahoma quarterbac­ks and the 18th-ranked Bears won 27-14 Saturday to end the visiting Sooners’ nation’s-best 17-game winning streak.

Abram Smith had 148 yards rushing, including a 75-yard scamper to set up the first of Bohanon’s rushing TDs in the fourth quarter, and the Bears (8-2, 5-2 Big 12, CFP No. 18) rebounded from an unexpected loss last week at struggling TCU.

The Sooners (9-1, 6-1, CFP No. 8) were held to 260 total yards, their fewest ever with Riley in his five seasons as head coach and two seasons as offensive coordinato­r before that. It was their fewest points in a regular-season game since a 48-14 home loss to Baylor in 2014. Oklahoma lost in November under Riley for the first time.

Baylor fans stormed the field when they thought the game was over, but there had been a timeout, and 3 seconds remained. Pretty much all of Oklahoma’s team had left the field and it took several minutes to clear the field. After an extended discussion among the referees, and an irate Sooners coach Lincoln Riley, the defense returned to the field for the final snap.

That was a 32-yard field goal by Isaiah Hankins for scoring that could come into play in a Big 12 tiebreaker, and the fans then swarmed the field again.

Oklahoma freshman quarterbac­k Caleb Williams threw two intercepti­ons. Preseason AP All-America quarterbac­k Spencer Rattler, who he had replaced as the starter, took over late in the third quarter. Williams had a 2-yard TD run early, but finished 10-of-19 passing for 146 yards while getting sacked three times. Rattler was sacked twice as well.

Kansas State 34, West Virginia 17: Deuce Vaughn ran for 121 yards and a touchdown, Sammy Wheeler had a TD catch along with a crucial fourth-down grab, and host Kansas State beat mistake-prone West Virginia.

Skylar Thompson had just 138 yards passing for the Wildcats (7-3, 4-3 Big 12), but the senior made a couple crucial throws when the Mountainee­rs (4-6, 2-5) had whittled a 24-3 deficit to seven midway through the fourth quarter.

Jarret Doege had 268 yards passing with two touchdowns and two intercepti­ons for West Virginia. Leddie Brown added 85 yards on the ground.

Texas Tech 41, Iowa State 38: Jonathan Garibay kicked a 62-yard field goal as time expired, lifting host Texas Tech to victory Saturday.

Garibay has made 12 of 12 field goals this season. The Red Raiders (6-4, 3-4 Big 12) won for the first time under interim coach Sonny Cumbie in his second game.

Texas Tech earned bowl eligibilit­y for the first time since 2017.
