Week's Best – Texas
Not only did the Longhorns play well for most of their 18th straight Big 12 win, but they even had the courtesy to keep it interesting for three quarters.
The fact that Texas did so against South Division co-leader Baylor (yes, Baylor) made the 63-31 victory all the more impressive. Oh, and Texas quarterback Colt McCoy's six touchdown passes were a school record
Week's Worst – Adrian Peterson
Peterson's injury in the fourth quarter of Oklahoma's 34-9 win over Iowa State may have marked the end of his dominating college career. After finishing second in the Heisman Trophy balloting as a freshman in 2004, the junior running back was on pace for another monster season this year before breaking his collarbone.
Peterson is widely expected to enter the NFL draft next year, where he probably will be a first-round pick.
Players of the Week
Offense
Adarius Bowman, Oklahoma State junior wide receiver
Bowman caught 13 passes for a Big 12 record of 300 receiving yards in Oklahoma State's 42-32 comeback win against Kansas. He caught four touchdowns, scoring from 54, 25, 55 and 64 yards. He leads the country with 123.8 receiving yards per game.
Defense
Tim Crowder, Texas senior defensive end
Crowder recorded three sacks, two of which turned into fumbles that led to Texas touchdowns against Baylor. The senior finished with seven tackles (four for loss), two quarterback hurries and a batted-down pass.
Special Teams
Mason Crosby, Colorado senior place kicker
Crosby connected on three field goals in Colorado's first win of the season – 30-6 over Texas Tech – including kicks from 56 and 53 yards. His 56-yarder ranks as the second-longest kick in the country this season.
1. Texas (6-1, 3-0 Big 12) This week: at Nebraska
After spotting Baylor 10 points in the first quarter, the Longhorns roared back and took sole possession of first place in the Big 12 South Division with a 63-31 win against the Bears. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy threw for a school-record six touchdowns and a career-high 275 yards, completing 21 of 32 passes. McCoy and Co. will face a much sterner test in playing their first significant road game of the season Saturday in Lincoln.
2. Nebraska (6-1, 3-0) vs. Texas
The Cornhuskers won at Kansas State for the first time since 1996, downing the Wildcats 21-3. Nebraska continued its rushing success, racking up 190 yards on the ground compared to 22 from KSU. With two conference road wins and an increasingly dominant defense, the Huskers should be brimming with confidence when they host No. 5 Texas on Saturday.
3. Oklahoma (4-2, 1-1) vs. Colorado
Oklahoma's 34-9 win against Iowa State in Norman was maybe the Sooners' best performance of the season, but it came with a steep price when running back Adrian Peterson was lost for at least the rest of the season with a broken collar bone.
Peterson finished with 183 yards and two touchdowns in what was perhaps his last game as a Sooner.
4. Texas A&M (6-1, 2-1) at Oklahoma State
