Recap and Redeaux - Wrong Again

Kansas State 47 Colorado 20. It's tiring being wrong. But on the other hand, I am happy to be wrong as Kansas State wins and covers the spread beating Colorado 47-20. That said, KSU is still a flawed team. The defense isn't great, and tonight KSU managed to give up a ton of yards. From watching the game, Hugh Charles looked to be everybody's All-American. Kansas State's offense, though balanced, looked inept at times and was forced to engage in trickery.

Fortunately, KSU was able to do a fair job shutting down the CU passing game. Still, Kansas State surrendered some 400+ yards. KSU managed to take advantage of some interceptions, yielded field position (bad choices by CU's head coach Dan Hawkins), a bobbled snap on a punt, and a team that gave up in the 4th quarter. Also, Kansas State seemed to be able to make some adjustments for a change, which appeared to help.

Kansas 58 Baylor 10. Kansas covered the spread crushing Baylor 58-10, having their way with the Bears. Marcus Herford set the tone with an 88 yard kickoff return for a touchdown early in the game.

Oklahoma 41 Missouri 31. Oklahoma missed a couple extra points and then surrendered a touch down with 12 seconds remaining, and Missouri got a back door cover. OU's speed on defense was too much for Missouri to overcome. Perhaps more distressing for Missouri, mental errors. Missouri just could not have those kinds of errors in order to beat Nebraska.

Oklahoma State 45 Nebraska 14. Nebraska's vaunted blackshirt defense surrendered 552 yards of total offense, as Oklahoma State has their way with them, doing what they wanted when they wanted. Oklahoma State opened up a 38-0 halftime lead and cruised to victory, covering the spread.

Texas Tech 35 Texas A&M 7. Texas A&M opened the game with a touchdown and never scored again as Texas Tech cruised to a 35-7 win. Mike Leach's defense held the Aggies to 365 yards. Michael Crabtree again starred for the Red Raiders, gaining 174 yards on 8 receptions.

Texas 56 Iowa State 3. Texas returns to the win column with an easy victory over their former defensive coordinator, Gene Chizik.
