So much for West Virginia as Iowa State took the Mountaineers to the woodshed and just beat the devil out of them 30-14.\u00a0 Dana Holgorsen’s offense was\u00a0inept all night long and the Cyclones proved they are on their way to becoming a power in the conference.\u00a0 West Virginia’s lost has them questioning what the future holds for them with Texas and Oklahoma still to come.<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n

Kansas State\u00a0busted up\u00a0Oklahoma State in Manhattan taking a 31-12 victory.\u00a0 OSU could not stop the Wildcats in the second half.<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n

Texas had problems with an improving Baylor which took the Horns to the final play in Austin\u00a0winning 23-17.\u00a0 Baylor is another team in the conference that is vastly improving.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n
