Big 12 Power Rankings: Baylor Jumps OSU, K-State Falling
Swoopes, the starter in 2014, was demoted one game into this season but reinvented himself by becoming a 244-pound situational player employed by coach Charlie Strong primarily in short-yardage situations.
Texas (3-4, 2-2 Big 12) rushed for 274 yards, maintaining a strength the Longhorns created with 313 yards on the ground – its most since 2013 – during a victory against Oklahoma on October. 10. Senior running back Johnathan Gray ran for his best game this season with 103 yards, while junior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes rumbled for all three of Texas’ touchdowns.
If Kansas State can stick to what it does best with Joe Hubener at quarterback, the Wildcats will act as a mirror for the Longhorns.
K-State’s lackluster offense really did spoil an otherwise sharp defensive second half for the Wildcats.

These offenses were not pleasing to the eye, but Heard and the Longhorns got it done. “I was like, ‘We can try, but I’d just be palming it and tossing it up'”. Oklahoma did, after all, fall to a hapless Texas team many declared done, and the power Red Raiders offense could have a field day against the poor Sooner D. However, the Sooners rebounded from the Red River rocking with a reassuring 55-0 debacle against Kansas State, and if you’re going to choose against OU QB Baker Mayfield in a matchup against his former squadron, you’re either a Texas Tech fan or haven’t watch the young gunslinger dazzle.
Outside the stadium, first responders were taking away the dead, and emergency crews were cleaning up an intersection where a auto had ripped into a black-and-orange-clad crowd watching Oklahoma State’s homecoming parade. Gray set up one touchdown with a 46-yard burst along the right side in the second quarter.
Swoopes scored both touchdowns in the half, from 1 yard and 2. Many tuned out of Kansas State’s blowout loss to Oklahoma- Coach Strong was part of the majority. He also rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns against TCU. Dominique Heath scored on a 7-yard pass from Hubener. He was sacked five times.
“When we go out there, everybody kind of knows what’s going on, so our offensive linemen, the running backs, the tight ends, do a great job of blocking”, Swoopes said.
Strong said he has not lost confidence in Heard. That said, sharp money moved this line from 3.5 up to 6.5 in favor of Texas, which has become one of the more improved teams in college football over the past month.
Hawkeyed Frog: Oklahoma State 30, Kansas 27 – OSU continues their fortuitous run with… let’s say, a blocked extra point returned for a safety. It’s unfair to judge this game because of the weather conditions and difficulty throwing the ball for both teams, but Heard has to develop his overall passing game for the Longhorns to be a threat against the top teams in the conference.
“I have played in one rain ever”, Hubener said. “This was No. 2, and it was really tough”.
