Whats ahead?
COLLEGES
egardless of whether
the Big 12 puts a team
into the College Football Playoff or how many points
its offenses produce this season, one thing has already been
established three weeks into
the season:
Its a very safe bet that
somewhere a news item about
the Big 12 will be running
across the bottom of a TV
screen.
There may be better conferences. There are certainly bigger ones. No one is more entertaining per capita than the Big
12. Pretty much everyone is loving the loathing in the conference well, outside of commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who
may be stockpiling Tylenol and
Breaking down three key games in the second quarter of the Big
12 season:
TCU at Texas Tech, Saturday: TCU scored 82 points last season on
the Red Raiders. Expect something much closer in sold-out Jones
Stadium in Lubbock, where Tech has won four straight against the
Horned Frogs.
Texas Tech vs. Baylor at AT&T Stadium, Oct. 3: Patrick Mahomes
and Co. came within a two-point conversion last season of forcing
overtime. First team to 50 wins?
West Virginia at Oklahoma, Oct. 3: OU quarterback Baker Mayfield
is lighting up opponents. West Virginia might have the best secondary in the Big 12.

TCU coach Gary Patterson
is making Baylor references to
what happened south of here
like something out of the Michigan-Ohio State playbook. Is

Dressed like he was about to
give a best mans toast complete with a carnation, Texas
Techs Kliff Kingsbury dropped
a verbal hammer on Arkansas
Bret Bielema months in the
making.
What was apparently another Baylor rules oversight led

SATURDAYS NOTABLE GAMES
No. 9 UCLA
at No. 16 Arizona (+312)
7 p.m. (Ch. 8): Bruins freshman QB Josh Rosen
has thrown for only 329 yards and two TDs and
has four interceptions in two games since his
impressive debut against Virginia. Having
escaped with a comeback win over BYU, the
Bruins will probably rely heavily on RBs Paul
Perkins and Nate Starks, who bailed Rosen out
with a combined 300 yards
and two TDs. Arizona set
team records for points
and total yards in last
weeks 77-13 win
over FCS opponent
Northern Arizona.
Last year the
Wildcats were
averaging 41 points
and 542 yards but managed
only 255 yards in a 17-7 loss to UCLA.
Arizona 34, UCLA 30.
