Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson had another big game on the ground with 88 yards and two touchdowns. He led the Wildcats to an early 7-0 lead after one quarter before Texas Tech dominated the next three quarters.

Utah defeats Cincinnati 45-14

It was a statement win for the Utes at home over a Cincinnati team that entered the weekend undefeated in conference play.

Wayshawn Parker ran for 104 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries for Utah.

West Virginia defeats Houston 45-35

In arguably the biggest surprise of the weekend in the conference, West Virginia picked up its first win of the season in conference play on the road against a Houston team that entered the weekend 7-1 on the year.

The Mountaineers were double-digit underdogs and wound up winning themselves by double-digits.

The 45 points tied a season-high for West Virginia. They dominated on the ground, rushing for 246 yards and four touchdowns as a team. The run game was led by freshman running back Diore Hubbard who ran for 108 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries. Quarterback Scotty Fox Jr. also ran for 65 yards and two touchdowns.

Arizona State defeats Iowa State 24-19

In another shocking result in the Big 12 this past weekend, Arizona State went into Ames without its offensive stars in quarterback Sam Leavitt and wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and still defeated Iowa State.

The Cyclones have lost four games in a row since defeating Arizona.

Arizona State quarterback Jeff Sims ran for 228 yards and two touchdowns as part of a huge rushing effort. He will start the rest of the season as Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham announced that Leavitt underwent season-ending surgery on a lingering foot injury.
