12 AROUND THE BIG 12
Big 12 - Week 10 Compiled by Clark Goble
It might not decide the Big 12 South, but these two high-power offenses should provide quite the show. The winner will probably finish second in the Big 12 South and be the second team selected for a bowl game. If Texas Tech and Oklahoma State finish the season without being upset, one team will likely go to the Cotton Bowl and the
other will go to the Holiday Bowl. Running back Kendall Hunter returned from a sprained ankle for limited action last weekend and should play a big factor in this game. Texas Tech, as usual, will throw to lots of different receivers. If Oklahoma State can control the rushing game, they will have a huge edge.
