Last week:

• The Horned Frogs nearly fell victim to Texas Tech’s upset run last weekend, as they found themselves behind in the final minutes of play. But with 23 seconds left in the game, TCU was able to pull in a tipped pass in the back of the end zone. That was enough to give the Horned Frogs a 55-52 victory.

• Texas came up just short last weekend against Oklahoma State in its conference opener. After leading late in the forth quarter, the Longhorns gave up back-to-back field goals with less than 1:30 left in the game, falling 30-27 to the Cowboys.

Last week:

• Texas Tech nearly pulled off the upset win last weekend against No. 3 TCU. The Red Raiders, surprisingly one of the more successful teams in the Big 12 thus far, led in the fourth quarter, but TCU was able to pull in a tipped pass in the back of the end zone with just 23 seconds left to hand Tech its first lost. 

• Baylor proved yet again why it is one of the nation’s top teams. It topped Rice 70-17, its third win by at least 35 points this season.

Last week:

• Oklahoma State survived a 30-27 thriller last weekend against Texas. The Cowboys trailed by three points with 1:34 left in the game, but they were able to connect on two field goals to win the game that some Texas fans are contending was decided by poor refereeing.

• Kansas State won a triple-overtime game against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs of Conference USA, scoring a touchdown in the third extra period.
