Halftime: Texas Tech 27, No. 3 Oklahoma 10

The Red Raiders have dominated the first half. OU scored only 3 offensive points. OU coach Bob Stoops just told ABC that QB Sam Bradford has "somewhat of a concussion" and he doubts he'll be back. So it looks like OU will be going with backup Joey Halzle the rest of...

Not a bad start for Knight

Pat Knight's Red Raiders are trailing by only two, 34-32, at halftime despite Baylor having a whole bunch more talent. Scott Drew's staff has ignored my advice to pound the ball inside to PF Kevin Rogers. He's only attempted three shots, scoring four points by throwing...

TCU celebrating senior day

TCU has scored on drives of 92 and 80 yards en route to a 14-0 lead over UNLV late in the first quarter. In an interesting bit of symmetry, quarterback Andy Dalton has thrown for 49 yards and run for 49 yards. The Horned Frogs (5-5) realistically need wins in their final two games...

Quick BCS thoughts

Everybody in the college hierarchy who loves the BCS should be thankful for Jonathan Zenon and Darry Beckwith. Without the timely interceptions from the two LSU players in the Southeastern Conference title game against Tennessee, a surreal BCS picture could have become a Salvador...

Malcolm Kelly is a bad man!!

Advice to Missouri: Don't use man coverage on Malcolm Kelly ever again. Kelly toasted CB Darnell Terrell on a post route for a 47-yard gain. It would have been a walk-in touchdown if Kelly, who has first-round draft pick written all over him, didn't have to go to the ground...

Punt snapped over his head!

Uh-oh. A bad snap sailed over Tech punter Jonathan LaCour's head on fourth-and-3 from midfield. LaCour got the ball, but he got HAMMERED by UVa's Jermaine Dias before he could kick it. The punt went minus-7 yards. Fortunately for Tech, it held UVa to a three-and-out by the...

Great strategy by Baylor

Baylor has blown big leads the last two times the Bears faced Texas. Scott Drew's crew is making sure that won't be the case again this evening. Baylor came out ice cold, clanking 16 of its first 19 shots from the floor, including a couple Kevin Rogers dunk attempts. But the...

Bye-bye, Bobby

Bob Knight has resigned from Texas Tech, effective immediately. The timing is certainly strange, to say the least, and I won't speculate on what his reasons might be. He leaves his son/head coach designate Pat Knight with a young, middle-of-the-road Big 12 team. You figured he...

More on Baylor's slide

How quickly has it spiraled for the Bad News Baylor Bears after what seemed to be a signature victory over Texas A&M? Here are the games since that epic five-overtime 116-110 win: Jan. 26 Oklahoma L, 77-71 Feb. 2 at Texas L, 80-72 Feb. 6 Texas Tech W, 80-74 Feb. 9 at Kansas L...

Bonehead move by Bruce

Senior guard Aaron Bruce, by far the Baylor's most experienced player, just made a major freshman mistake. He called timeout when he couldn't get the ball inbounds. And Baylor didn't have any timeouts left. Technical foul ... A.J. Abrams made one of two ... Bears down two.

Tebow's obstacle to a Heisman repeat

What's best for Florida quarterback Tim Tebow may not be best for his chances of joining Archie Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winner. Florida coach Urban Meyer has talked about going back to some kind of two-quarterback system to ease the punishment on Tebow. And before...

Guy Morriss' new job?

So does being a head coach in the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12 naturally lead to becoming the head coach at Boyle County (Ky.) High School? OK, that's not the normal career path. And while I'm sure colleague Brian Davis will have more insight, it seems a little strange...

No movement at Notre Dame

Those Charlie-Weis-in-trouble rumors always seemed a little far-fetched. The Irish took such a public pummeling over Tyrone Willingham that another three-and-done coach didn't seem likely. Now, Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White has confirmed, apparently, that Weis is staying...

Holbrook staying at New Mexico St.

New Mexico State quarterback Chase Holbrook, an L.D. Bell product, announced Wednesday he will return for his senior season. It's probably a smart decision for Holbrook, who was projected as a sixth-round draft pick this year. But next season doesn't feature an especially...

Sooners crank up heat

Oklahoma wasn't about to be conservative and let Chase Daniel dink and dunk his way down the field again. The Sooners came after Daniel once Mizzou crossed midfield. DE Jeremy Beal, a redshirt freshman from Carrollton Creekview, had a big sack on first down to put the Tigers...
