TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA STATE PLAY IN AUSTIN SATURDAY<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kansas State had the big win in Starkville over Mississippi State.\u00a0 Plenty of turnovers by both teams but the Wildcats are better than most thought.\u00a0 I like what is happening in the Little Apple.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iowa put it to Iowa State in Ames.\u00a0 Bad loss for the Cyclones.<\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
Oklahoma smashed UCLA in LA as expected.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
Oklahoma State\u2019s win in Tulsa over the Golden Hurricane was about what was expected.\u00a0 The defense in the second half for the Pokes was excellent.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
Texas had their way with steamed Rice in Houston.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
Texas Tech lost to Arizona and that was not good.\u00a0 Bowman is out for some weeks with an injury.\u00a0 That is not good either.\u00a0 Tech has serious problems.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
West Virginia found their team Saturday in a win over N.C State in Morgantown.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
Kansas plastered Boston College and do not ask me where that came from.\u00a0 The Jayhawks have two wins and maybe they can breakthrough and win a conference game this year.\u00a0 West Virginia Saturday might be their best chance at home in Lawrence.<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
TCU beat Purdue with ease on the road. Good for the Frogs<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

    Big Twelve Predictions<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

    (last week 5-4; season 21-6)<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Texas and Oklahoma State open Big Twelve play in Austin. The Pokes have won eight of ten, four straight, and five straight in the Capitol city.\u00a0 That ends Saturday night.\u00a0 Texas has the better quarterback and the Horns stick the \u2018Boys where it hurts.\u00a0 It could be worse.\u00a0 Can OSU, around a five point dog pull the mild upset?\u00a0 Yes, if Texas overlooks the visitor and Sanders, Wallace and Hubbard go off on the Steers.\u00a0 Still, expect a lot of points by Texas, and if OSU does win, a score in the 40\u2019s by both teams will have taken place.\u00a0 Texas 34 and OSU 26.<\/span><\/strong><\/h6>\n
