What’s on the way up? And on the way down? We’ve got you covered. RISING Missouri’s running game: A big week last week for the Tigers has them ranked seventh nationally, and leading the Big 12 with 772 yards in three games. Missouri is also 10th nationally with more than six yards per carry, just below Baylor’s 6.3 yards per carry. They’re the only two schools in the Big 12 averaging more than five yards per carry. This, for Missouri, despite playing without two starters on the offensive line and losing three of four running backs since preseason camp began. FALLING The “No Interceptions” Pool: The Big 12 has the nation’s leader in interceptions thrown, Brandon Weeden with six. But it also has three of the 15 starting quarterbacks left without an interception. Texas Tech’s Seth Doege has eight touchdowns on 77 pass attempts. Baylor’s Robert Griffin III has eight touchdowns on 49 attempts. Kansas’ Jordan Webb has six touchdowns on 59 attempts. Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill was in this group last week, but threw his first pick against Idaho. RISING Texas A&M’s front seven: Texas A&M leads the nation with 5.5 sacks per game, nearly one full sack per game more than any other team in the Big 12. Expect that to change this weekend against Oklahoma State’s offense, built around a quick-release passing game. But the Aggies have 11 sacks in two games to rank sixth nationally in total sacks. They’re one of just two teams in the top 28 nationally in sacks that have only played two games. FALLING Not Ryan Tannehill: The Aggies are also one of just five teams nationally that hasn’t given up a sack yet. Boise State, UAB, Maryland and Middle Tennessee are the only teams of 120 left in the exclusive club after three weeks.

Big 12 Stock Watch: Week 4

It was far from perfect. It was far from prompt. But Oklahoma State finally got to take the field against Tulsa and turned in what’s become an average performance for the offense in a 59-33 win over the Golden Hurricane after a three-hour delay. The numbers for Oklahoma State’s defense were good. G.J. Kinne missed most of the game and Tulsa’s passers combined to complete just 8 of 26 passes for 117 yards and four interceptions. The Golden Hurricane stayed committed to a running game, despite the deficit and broke touchdown runs of 42 and 80 yards. Tulsa finished with 365 yards rushing and had two rushers top 150 yards. The point total wasn’t pretty, either. The Cowboys, perhaps a bit groggy or uninterested with a big lead, had their defensive dominance in the passing game interrupted by moments of weakness defending the run. The result: big plays. Oklahoma State can afford those in games like this. Next week, it won’t. The defense has work to do, but has definitely shown the potential to be great. The problem is being great for 60 minutes. OSU hasn’t done it yet. To win next week at Texas A&M, that will have to change. Oklahoma State receiver Justin Blackmon ’s streak of 14 consecutive 100-yard receiving games came to an end tonight, too. It was fun while it lasted, but he’s still an OK player. On a final note, it is 3:36 a.m. in Dallas, and the Big 12’s week of football wrapped up minutes ago. I can’t believe this happened. If you joined me in staying up and watching this game, I suspect it’s a new low for all of us.

Like Texas ’ 34-12 loss to UCLA last season, turnovers were the difference early on. The Longhorns picked off Bruins quarterback Kevin Prince on three consecutive first-quarter possessions, with each of the interceptions… Source: The Daily Texan

Today, we’re taking a look at the tease teams across the Big 12, and the past three seasons, we’ve seen a good amount of cases in the Big 12. All three programs find themselves in the top 10 again this year, but here’s what’s happened lately. Is either squad simply a tease in 2011? 2010: Texas A&M The Aggies, coming off a 6-7 season in 2009, weren’t convincing enough to earn preseason top 25 honors, but the potential for a big year was there, and anyone paying attention knew it. The offense was loaded, led by the league’s preseason offensive player of the year, Jerrod Johnson . Johnson, however, struggled early, throwing four interceptions in consecutive games against Florida International and Oklahoma State, turning the ball over five times in a loss to the Cowboys. The Aggies were embarrassed on their home field by Missouri to fall to 3-3, and despite a late-season rally, couldn’t qualify for the Big 12 Championship game. 2009: Oklahoma State The offseason crescendo built to a pressure-packed season opener against SEC foe Georgia, but Dez Bryant and the Cowboys knocked off the Bulldogs to land in the top 5 and on the cover of Sports Illustrated. A week later, however, Case Keenum (and Dana Holgorsen, by the way) waltzed into Stillwater and gave the Cowboys a nasty buzzkill in the form of a 45-35 upset, officially derailing a championship season. OSU also suffered a pair of embarrassing 27-point losses to Big 12 South rivals Oklahoma and Texas, including a 27-0 shutout loss to Oklahoma. Kendall Hunter (ankle), Zac Robinson (shoulder) and Dez Bryant (NCAA suspension) were all forced off the field at times, but there’s no doubt: That team was a tease. 2008: Missouri The Tigers reached No. 1 heading into the Big 12 Championship in 2007, but a loss sent them to the Cotton Bowl and hoping for better luck next year. Chase Daniel and Co. opened the season at No. 6 and ran off a 5-0 start, including a 52-17 obliteration of Nebraska in Lincoln, the first win for the Tigers there since 1978. A week later, though
