Urban Meyer: Focus is on Illinois If Illinois was hoping No. 3 Ohio State might look past it this week, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer has some bad news. Ohio State, he said, is focused on Saturday's game, even though the Illini haven't won a Big Ten contest in more than two years. "No issue whatsoever. This is a very invested team," Meyer said.

Bryce Petty's 5 TDs let No. 5 Baylor stay unbeaten Texas Tech scored touchdowns on its first three drives, and had No. 5 Baylor facing its first double-digit deficit of the season. Almost as quickly, that lead was gone and the Red Raiders became just the latest team unable to keep up with the high-potent Bears in another lopsided game. Bryce Petty threw three touchdowns and ran for two more while Levi Norwood caught two scores and returned a punt 58 yards for another as the Bears stayed undefeated with a 63-34 victory Saturday nigh Read more http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=333200239
Clint Chelf, No. 12 Oklahoma State run over No. 24 Texas The Big 12 championship is still solidly in reach for No. 12 Oklahoma State, which showed Saturday just what No. 5 Baylor will be up against next week. They did it by clobbering No. 24 Texas -- and in a fashion that no team has ever done here against Mack Brown. Quarterback Clint Chelf ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more, and the Cowboys beat the Longhorns 38-13 to hand Brown his worst home loss in 16 seasons. It comes at at a time when speculation about Brown's job security had just started quieting down following a bumbling start this season for the Longhorns.

Trevor Knight to start at QB Oklahoma is expected to have a new starting quarterback, and the No. 20 Sooners will also be without two key offensive players who have been suspended for Saturday's game at Kansas State. Freshman Trevor Knight is expected to get the start in place of Blake Bell, a team source confirmed. The Oklahoman, which first reported Knight would start, said Bell is still recovering from a concussion. Bell was injured early in the second quarter last week against Iowa State after taking a blow to the head on a short run. Knight, who started the first two games of the season before being replaced by Bell, ran for 123 yards and threw for 61 yards to lead the Sooners past the Cyclones 48-10.

Bob Stoops passes Barry Switzer as Oklahoma all-time wins leader Bob Stoops ran away from the tub filled with ice water just about as quickly and effectively as the Sooners' Brennan Clay ran through the Kansas State defense on Saturday.
