AROUND THE BIG 12 11
Big 12 - Week 2 Compiled by Hallie Mann
GAME TO WATCH Iowa State v. Iowa
With one victory under their belt, the Cyclones will play against their in-state rival this Saturday. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads says the team has set some high goals coming into the season, including winning all of its non-conference games. Going into the first game of the season, Iowa was ranked 22 in the Associated Press polls, but after a narrow 17-16 victory against Northern Iowa last
week, Iowa State can gain some confidence in its chances for victory. Iowa State has the added advantage of having played its first game on Thursday instead of Saturday, which gives it two extra days to prepare for week two. Iowa State has won seven of its last 11 meetings with Iowa, and this may be its chance to take home its second victory of the season.

Conference report The latest Big 12 news
OKLAHOMA
In the loss against BYU last Saturday, Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford injured his shoulder in the second quarter of the game. Bradford said he hoped to be back in
two to four weeks without any surgery for his third-degree separated shoulder injury. In the meantime, freshman Landry Jones will be playing in his place.
KANSAS
The Jayhawks will see the return of wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe this week after a suspension from playing in the season opener against Northern Colorado. Briscoe was suspended along with defensive lineman Jeff Wheeler,
receiver Raimond Pendleton and defensive lineman Jamal Greene. Wheeler and Pendleton violated team policy, while Mangino said Briscoe and Greene's suspensions were related to the time they missed during the spring.
COLORADO
Colorado's quarterback competition was a joke according to The Daily Camera. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Hansen said he knew weeks before the season opener on Sunday that Cody Hawkins would start for
the Buffs. Both Hansen and freshman Clark Evans will redshirt this season despite all of the preseason hype that there was competition for the starting and backup quarterback positions.
