Our series of preseason picks for every single Big 12 game of 2014 continues today with Week 10, a week that will likely be remembered for battles between teams in the middle of the pack.
More Big 12 predictions for 2014.
at Kansas State 38, Oklahoma State 31, OT: It's not a marquee matchup, but this goes down as one of the better Big 12 games of the season. Kansas State gets a stop on the first possession of overtime, then Tyler Lockett goes for the kill with the 25-yard walk-off touchdown. Back-to-back wins over Texas and OSU have the Powercats back on track.
Texas 40, at Texas Tech 21: The Longhorns notch their sixth consecutive victory over Texas Tech thanks to some wizardry from Daje Johnson, who contributes a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown and a bunch of TTU missed tackles in a bounce-back performance. Davis Webb is sharp early on, but has no run game to lean on.
at Baylor 63, Kansas 10: Poor Kansas. Nobody wants to play the angry Bears on this week, after their loss to West Virginia and a bye to recover. Bryce Petty gets the Heisman Trophy campaign back on track with five touchdown passes and three Baylor running backs find the end zone.
at West Virginia 27, TCU 24: The Horned Frogs' fourth-quarter rally comes up just short against the tag team of Rushel Shell and Dreamius Smith, who run wild behind an underrated WVU offensive line and give TCU's linebackers lots of trouble. Dana Holgorsen gets a Red Bull bath as celebration for knocking off the one-loss Frogs.
Oklahoma 45, at Iowa State 13: The Sooners are rolling again and Trevor Knight is growing more confident. Having the powerful Keith Ford (two rushing touchdowns) and the lightning-quick Joe Mixon (65-yard TD run) at his disposal certainly helps. For ISU, there's at least hope on the horizon with a trip to Kansas next on the schedule.
