    Daryl Worley arrested for battery

    Suspended West Virginia cornerback Daryl Worley has been accused of grabbing a woman by the throat and shoving her to the ground, according to Morgantown Police.

    The alleged altercation occurred in a nightclub Sunday morning hours after the Mountaineers' 40-37 win over Maryland.

    A warrant was issued Wednesday for Worley's arrest on a misdemeanor battery charge, and he turned himself in to police without incident.

    Oklahoma rides freshman Samaje Perine's 4-TD night to win over WVU

    All that strength work is paying dividends for Oklahoma's bruising Samaje Perine.

    The 243-pound freshman almost matched his weight, rushing for 242 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 4 Oklahoma to a 45-33 win over West Virginia in their Big 12 opener Saturday night.

    Texas dismisses Kennedy Estelle

    Junior offensive tackle Kennedy Estelle was dismissed by Texas for violating team rules Tuesday, becoming the ninth player kicked off the team by coach Charlie Strong this season.

    Estelle started at left tackle in Texas' season-opening win against North Texas but was suspended for at least three games on Sept. 3 along with fellow starting tackle Desmond Harrison for an undisclosed rules violation.

    Daxx Garman tosses 4 TD passes to lift No. 24 OK State over Texas Tech

    As a former quarterback, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy tends to be tough on his signal-callers.

    He couldn't find much to criticize about Daxx Garman's performance Thursday night.

    Garman threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns to help No. 24 Oklahoma State beat Texas Tech 45-35. He completed 17 of 31 passes and ran for a score in his second start since stepping in for the injured J.W. Walsh.

    No. 7 Baylor cruises past Iowa State 49-28

    Baylor didn't need receivers Antwan Goodley or Corey Coleman to blow out its first three opponents.

    Now healthy, the pair should help the seventh-ranked Bears maintain their explosive attack in Big 12 play.

    Bryce Petty threw for 336 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores to help Baylor cruise past Iowa State 49-28 in its league opener Saturday night.

    Charles Jones, No. 25 Kansas State cruise past UTEP

    Kansas State forced UTEP into three-and-outs on its first five possessions, leaving Wildcats coach Bill Snyder pleased when the Miners finally picked up a long-awaited first down.

    "It gave me something to complain about at halftime," Snyder said with a wry smile.

    There wasn't much else to complain about.

    Charles Jones ran for three touchdowns, Tyler Lockett returned a punt for another score and Snyder's 25th-ranked Wildcats romped to a 58-28 victory Saturday.

    Kansas fires Charlie Weis

    After he won only one Big 12 game during his tenure at Kansas, the Jayhawks have fired head coach Charlie Weis.

    He was in the third year of a five-year contract.

    Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen will take over as interim head coach, athletic director Sheahon Zenger said.

    "I normally do not favor changing coaches mid-season," Zenger said in a statement. "But I believe we have talented coaches and players in this program, and I think this decision gives our players the best chance to begin making progress right away."

    TCU picks off Trevor Knight twice, shocks No. 4 Oklahoma

    Gary Patterson and No. 25 TCU finally have a big attention-grabbing victory in the Big 12 Conference

    The former BCS-busting Horned Frogs sent quite a message in their third Big 12 opener, getting Paul Dawson's 41-yard interception return for a touchdown and a big fourth-down stop in the fourth quarter Saturday in a 37-33 victory over No. 4 Oklahoma.

    Shock Linwood, No. 7 Baylor knock off Texas

    Bryce Petty and No. 7 Baylor's top-rated offense were misfiring, and the quick-strike touchdowns were nowhere to be found against Texas.

    So Baylor turned to some new wrinkles -- defense, special teams and a punishing running game -- to roll to a 28-7 victory Saturday that planted the defending Big 12 champions firmly back at the top of the conference at the start of what should be a rugged month.

    No. 21 Oklahoma State spreads it around in win over Iowa State

    Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy made a questionable coaching decision in the final seconds of the first half.

    Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard believes the officials made an incorrect call that let him off the hook for it.

    Desmond Roland's touchdown run on the final play of the half played a pivotal role in No. 21 Oklahoma State's 37-20 win Saturday.

    No. 23 K-State rips mistake-prone Texas Tech 45-13

    Jake Waters admitted that he was "gassed" after a 50-yard quarterback-keeper in the first half helped propelled No. 23 Kansas State to a rout of Texas Tech on Saturday night.

    Funny word choice considering he never let up on the gas the rest of the night.

    Waters wound up throwing for 290 yards and four touchdowns, ran for 105 yards and another score and paced the Wildcats' high-octane offense in a 45-13 victory.

    RB Keith Ford out against Longhorns

    Oklahoma running back Keith Ford will miss his third straight game Saturday against Texas with a fractured right fibula.

    Ford has been out since he was injured in the third game of the season against Tennessee. Coach Bob Stoops provided an update on his status through a spokesman on Tuesday.

    Baylor erases 21-point deficit in final 11 minutes, stuns TCU

    Bryce Petty had done all he could do in bringing Baylor back from 21 points down and McLane Stadium back to life in the fourth quarter.

    With 4 seconds left, the Heisman Trophy contender handed it over to the kicker, who had made only one of six field-goal attempts coming into the game.

    Petty gave a few words of encouragement to Chris Callahan -- to focus only on himself and his job -- and then the quarterback went over to the sideline and was too nervous to watch as Callahan completed one of the greatest comebacks in Baylor history.

    Callahan kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired, and No. 5 Baylor scored 24 points in the final 11 minutes to beat No. 9 TCU 61-58 on Saturday in a crazy Big 12 scorefest.

    No. 11 Oklahoma edges Texas in bounce-back win

    Sure, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was feeling a little bit frustrated at halftime when his 11th-ranked Sooners had only 29 total yards on offense.

    But the Sooners had some big early returns that put them ahead to stay while taking away some offensive chances in the Red River rivalry, a 31-26 win over Texas on Saturday.

    Oklahoma State overcomes upset bid from Kansas

    Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy freely admits that his team doesn't run the ball very well.

    It doesn't have much experience.

    The offensive line doesn't always protect well and the defense doesn't have a whole lot of depth.

    Then again, here's something else the No. 16 Cowboys don't have: a Big 12 loss.

    They can thank Tyreek Hill for that.

    The junior college transfer returned a kickoff 99 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, sending the Cowboys past upset-minded Kansas 27-20 on Saturday.

    Clint Trickett, West Virginia take down sloppy No. 4 Baylor

    When West Virginia needed another late push to pull out a win, Clint Trickett and Kevin White came up big again.

    Trickett threw two of his three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, White had two TD catches and West Virginia surprised sloppy No. 4 Baylor 41-27 on Saturday.

    Missed field goals doom No. 11 Oklahoma in loss to No. 14 Kansas State

    With a short field goal the only thing standing between Oklahoma and the lead late in the game, Michael Hunnicutt just had to do what he's done for more than three years: Be automatic.

    No. 11 Oklahoma, trailing by a point in the fourth quarter, had finally seized momentum after playing catch-up for much of the game. The Sooners drove to the Kansas State 1-yard line, but couldn't punch in the ball.

    Neither could Hunnicutt.

    Hunnicutt missed a chip-shot field goal that would have put the Sooners ahead with 3:53 remaining. A stunned home crowd gasped and groaned, and No. 14 Kansas State took possession and ran out the clock, defeating Oklahoma 31-30 on Saturday.

    Trevone Boykin's career-high 410 yards lead TCU over Oklahoma State

    TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin had no problems with the soft cast on his non-throwing hand, Josh Doctson had a couple of 60-yard sprints to turn shorter routes into long touchdown plays, and the No. 12 Horned Frogs bounced back in a big way.

    Boykin threw for a career-high 410 yards, including catch-and-run plays of 77 and 84 yards by Doctson in the first quarter, as the Frogs rolled over No. 15 Oklahoma State 42-9 on Saturday, just a week after their wild shootout loss at Baylor.

    TCU scores 82 behind Trevone Boykin's school-record 7 TD passes

    Trevone Boykin took issue with coach Gary Patterson saying he was among the TCU players who weren't ready to play Texas Tech.

    The junior quarterback then backed it up with his play.

    Boykin threw a school-record seven touchdown passes and the 10th-ranked Horned Frogs showcased a new fast-paced offense by scoring the most points in their history in an 82-27 rout of Texas Tech on Saturday.

    No. 11 Kansas State hands Texas first shutout since 2004

    In an era of high-octane offenses producing gaudy statistics and prodigious point totals, it makes sense that Kansas State's old-school coach can appreciate an old-school defensive performance.

    The No. 11 Wildcats shut down Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes, made a couple of key stops deep in their own territory and put together the first shutout of the Longhorns in nearly a decade with a 23-0 victory Saturday that kept Kansas State the lone unbeaten team in Big 12 play.
