Big 12 Update

Daxx Garman? The new Oklahoma State QB, who led the Cowboys to a 45-35 win over Texas Tech last night, has had a crazy run at this football stuff. He last played meaningful games in high school in...2009. As a junior. Then he transferred high schools without playing as a senior. He ended up at Arizona anyway, but as a redshirt due to a lengthy depth chart. In 2012 he sat out as a transfer before sitting on the bench last year. And now with injuries he is the starter for a ranked program. There is some lesson there about patience but I do not have the time to figure it out. As for the game, well, neither Oklahoma State nor Texas Tech is going to win the Big 12. The Red Raiders for one have had such a crazy month that their season could really bottom out. Okie State is in a much better place but need to tighten up the defense before a brutal end to the season (at Kansas State, home versus Texas, at Baylor, at OU). Not much else going on this weekend unless the Texas-Kansas game interests you. It is not basketball season, so probably not. The loser of that game could also be in trouble. Baylor does have to play at Iowa State, where it lost two years ago, but since that game they have become one of the best teams in the country. Last season's 71-7 beat down probably left enough bad taste in the mouths of the Cyclones that something bad could happen but an upset is very unlikely. Oklahoma is off before a big road game at TCU next weekend.
