NO. 12 OKLAHOMA 35 - IOWA STATE 20
OU 6-2 (4-1) - ISU 5-4 (2-4)
Quaterback Landry Jones showed off his arm strength against Iowa State on Saturday to give Oklahoma a win after a tough loss at home last week to Notre Dame.
Jones threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns in the game, while running back Brennan Clay added to the Sooners offense, running for 157 yards and one touchdown. Clay's first 100-yard game of his career helped generate a dynamic Sooners offense on Saturday.
Oklahoma's offense picked up 34 first-downs and amassed 593 yards against the Cyclones.
Iowa State kicker Edwin Arceo made a career long 51-yard field goal to cut the deficit to one point in the first quarter, but Iowa State's offense failed to produce points and never played with the lead.
NO. 2 KANSAS STATE 44 - OKLAHOMA STATE 30
KSU 9-0 (6-0) - OKST 5-3 (3-2)
Kansas State's unbeaten streak continued this past week as it won against Oklahoma State and advanced to 9-0 on the season. The Wildcats had an effect on all three phases of the game, showing why they deserve a national championship appearance.
However, K-State quarterback Collin Klein left the game in the third quarter because of an undisclosed injury. Even so, Klein collected 309 total yards before leaving the game. Along with Klein's touchdown, running back John Hubert's two touchdowns gave the Wildcats a two-possession lead at halftime.
After Cowboy quarterback Wes Lunt suffered an injury and threw three interceptions, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy turned to Clint Chelf at quarterback. The Cowboys scored only two touchdowns on offense, but got help on special teams from rarely used running back Desmond Roland on an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
But Kansas State's defense and special teams units found the end zone to help add points to the scoreboard. Wide Reciever Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. But the biggest star for the Wildcats was cornerback Allen Chapman, who intercepted three passes including one in the second quarter for a touchdown.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder did not provide any details to the media regarding Klein's injury.
NO. 23 TEXAS 31 - NO. 18 TEXAS TECH 22
UT 7-2 (4-2) - TTU 6-3 (3-3)
Ash completed 11 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Texas held a narrow two-point lead in the fourth quarter until Ash threw his third touchdown pass to Mike Davis to extend the lead to nine. It was Davis' second touchdown reception as he ended his day with 165 yards.
Texas prevailed in an in-state battle against Texas Tech after four grueling quarters. Texas quarterback David Ash bounced back this week and gave Texas the upper hand on the road.
Texas Tech's offense managed to move the ball well with Seth Doege under center. Doege passed for 329 yards and one touchdown. However, the Red Raiders were limited in their scoring and were forced to send their kicker Ryan Bustin out to make three field goals. The Longhorns defense shut out the Red Raiders in the fourth quarter to help seal the win.
TEXAS CHRISTIAN 39 -
NO. 21 WEST VIRGINIA 38, 207
TCU 3- 6 (3-3)- WVU 5- 3 (2-3)
The two Big 12 newcomers came into Week 9 looking to snap their two-game losing streaks. It was Texas Christian who snapped its losing streak with an incredible trick play to win in double overtime.
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin threw two touchdown passes to Josh Boyce. Boyce lead all receivers in the game with 180 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the day.
West Virginia had a weapon of its own at receiver. Tavon Austin caught 11 passes for 101 yards, including a 43-yard catch and run in which Austin ran across the entire field before heading for the end zone. Geno Smith, despite throwing an interception early on, kept the Mountaineers in the game by throwing three touchdown passes.
But in double overtime, TCU looked for a trick play in the playbook and pulled out a reverse pass for a touchdown. Wide receiver Brandon Carter took a handoff and threw to tight end Corey Fuller in the end zone for a touchdown. Boykin threw the game-winning two-point conversion to Boyce to win the thriller in Morgantown.

Kansas defeated TCU, 204-142,
and North Dakota, 214-45,
on Saturday after a dominating performance on Friday put Kansas in prime position for victory.
On Friday, Kansas won of eight of the 10 events; the Jayhawks had first-place finishes in the 200-yard IM, the three-meter dive, the 100-yard backstroke, the 100-yard breaststroke, the 200-yard butterfly and the 200-yard freestyle. Kansas also won both relay events — the 200-yard freestyle and 400-yard medley.
Kansas carried its excellent performance into Saturday with victories in six of the nine events. The six first-place finishes were in the
200-yard backstroke, the one-meter dive, the 100-yard butterfly, the 200-yard breaststroke and the 400-yard IM. The Jayhawks also won first place in the 200-yard medley relay.
The top swimmers for Kansas at the meet were senior Brookie Brull, who recorded victories in the 200-yard IM and the 200-yard backstroke, freshman Bryce Hinde, who recorded victories in the 200-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard breaststroke, and freshman Chelsie
Miller, who won the 200-yard butterfly and the 400-IM.
TCU grabbed the remainder of the first-place finishes on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, senior Sabine Rasch finished first in the 50-yard freestyle and freshmen Sara Brzozowski finished first in the 1,000-yard freestyle. On Saturday, Rasch finished first in the 100-yard freestyle, and freshman Mikayla Winkler won first place in the 500-yard freestyle and the 400-yard freestyle.
Kansas coach Clark Campbell said he was proud of his team's performance at this weekend's meet.
"We swam much better than we did last night, which was encouraging," Campbell said in a KU Athletics press release. "We talked about it, and to their credit, they really rose to the challenge. We talked about excellence, and we were focused too much on the success component and success is a product of being excellent. We learned a lot coming from Friday into Saturday, and the team really rose to the occasion."
Kansas' swimmers and divers will compete separately in the team's next events. The swimmers will host the Kansas Classic in Topeka from Nov. 16 to 19, and the divers will compete at the Phil Hansel Invite in Houston, Texas from Nov. 15 to 17.
