When the Oklahoma
oners walked into
nhattan, Kan., last season
Id ended Kansas State’s 25-
megame winning streak with
31 win, the table immedi-
ly was set for this weekend’s
tchup between the two Big
powerhouses.
This week, it is the No. 3
ners’ home winning streak
t is on the line. OU has run
15 straight home wins, the
irth-longest home winning
ak in the nation. And, just
;e last season, both teams have
to lose a ballgame.

This nationally televised con
test could shape up to be a battle
of the running backs, as both
schools feature two of the better
running backs in the conference.
For No. 11 K-State, Josh Scobey
is coming off a four touchdown,
112-yard performance during
the Wildcats ’ 64-0 destruction of
New Mexico State.
The Sooner backfield is led
by Quentin Griffin, currently
20th-leading rusher in the
nation.
Undefeated early
Eight teams in the Big 12 are
undefeated so far this season,
and the conference has posted a
27-6 record through four weeks
of play. Nebraska, Iowa State,
K-State, Texas A&M, OU,
Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech
all have perfect records.
Nebraska (4-0) and
Colorado (3-1) are the only
teams who have played four
games. The Buffaloes bounced
back from a season-opening
loss to No. 10 Fresno State,
scoring a combined 1 19 points
in their three wins.
Ranked teams from the Big
12 include OU, Nebraska, UT
and K-State.
Colorado and A&M both
received votes in the latest
Associated Press poll. The
Aggies will take on Notre
Dame at Kyle Field while the
Buffaloes will take the week
end off.
Beware of underdog
The Texas Tech Red Raiders
are shaping up to be the surprise
team in the Big 12 this season.
The pass-happy Red Raider
offense has been a success so
far, tallying 42 points against
New Mexico and North Texas.
Tech has started 2-0 three
times in the last four seasons,
and the two previous teams that
started the season 2-0 have
ended with a Bowl appearance.
Tech will get its first chance
at an upset Saturday, when it
travels to Austin for a matchup
of the two highest-scoring
offenses in the Big 12.
Quarterback Kliff Kingsbury
has thrown for more than 300
yards in both games this season
and has compiled a 68.4 com
pletion percentage, the highest
in the conference. Kingsbury
has thrown a touchdown pass in
seven consecutive games and
has connected on 17-straight
passes, setting school records in
both categories.
The Longhorns knocked off
the Red Raiders in Lubbock
last season, winning by a 29-
17 mark.
The biggest buzzsaw the Red
Raiders could run into is their
schedule, which is the toughest
in the conference.
In addition to Saturday’s
game against UT. Tech will also
face K-State, Nebraska, A&M
and OU.
