The suspension of Oklahoma State (0-0; 3-1) WR Dez Bryant is the focal point of the conference news for this week. Bryant was canned by the NCAA for lying about working out at Neon Deion’s house. With normal sports leagues I would assume that there was more to the story then it appears, with the NCAA I am not so sure. Removing Bryant from the Cowboys for something less than serious is damaging their chances as the Big 12 schedule kicks into gear. If he gets reinstated down the line, the key date is October 31 when Texas (1-0; 4-0) comes to Stillwater. With RB Kendall Hunter banged up, the explosive Cowboys are suddenly looking a bit short for Saturday’s game versus Texas A&M (0-0; 3-1).
Rain is expected to greatly affect the playing conditions for tonight’s Missouri (0-0; 4-0)-Nebraska (0-0; 3-1) game. The Cornhuskers should have the advantage in a quagmire with their strong line play on both sides of the ball and good ground game led by Roy Helu, Jr., but do not underestimate the damage to be done by all the tall receiving targets on the Missouri side of the ball. With so much riding on this match-up of Big 12 North contenders, look for the TO battle to become crucial. Missouri’s soph QB Blaine Gabbert has yet to throw a pick in his first year as starter, but he has never tangled with the likes of DT Ndamukong Suh and the rest of a fierce Husker pass rush. Gabbert is the leading side story to this game as he originally committed to Nebraska coming out of high school only to change to Missouri after Nebraska fired coach Bill Callahan. Nebraska surely could use him as they try to snap a streak of seven straight losses on the road against ranked opponents.
