Nov. 22 at Baylor 49, Oklahoma State 28 
And You Care Because … Baylor got payback for last year’s blowout with a dominant first half, getting two big Bryce Petty touchdown passes to start – a 65-yarder to Jay Lee and a 54-yard play to Corey Coleman – and then it was Devin Chafin who took over the scoring, running in three short touchdowns to go along with a one-yarder from Shock Linwood for a 42-14 lead. Oklahoma State got two touchdown passes from Mason Rudolph, including a 68-yarder to James Washington, but just when it seemed like things might get interesting, on a two-yard Rennie Childs run to make it 42-28 early in the fourth, Petty put it away on a 21-yard scoring sash.

Kansas was never in the game, finally getting into the end zone in the third quarter on a fumble recovery in the end zone. Kansas managed just 103 yards of total offense.
