Baylor starting QB Robert Griffin will miss the rest of the season with an isolated tear in his knee. This comes as heartbreaking news to the Baylor community as Griffin is the heart and soul of their offense. Griffin went down during the first quarter of Baylor’s game after he was stopped on a fourth down play. Griffin had a phenomenal freshman campaign for the Bears last year and earned Big XII Offensive Player of the Year by the conference’s coaches....
In addition to losing at home to unranked Houston, the Oklahoma State Cowboys may have lost starting RB Kendall Hunter for this week’s upcoming game against Rice. Hunter left Saturday’s game in the second quarter after suffering an apparent right leg injury and didn’t return to action for the rest of the night. Before the injury, Hunter rushed for 36 yards and a touchdown on 9 carries. Oklahoma State hasn’t released the exact type of injury suffered by Hunter...
The hits just keep coming for the Oklahoma Sooners. All Big XII tight end Jermaine Gresham’s career as a member of the Sooner football team is over. Gresham will undergo season ending arthroscopic surgery on his right knee that will take at least 5 months to heal. He injured his knee during practice two weeks ago and missed OU’s season opener loss against the BYU Cougars.

TE Jermaine Gresham will miss Saturday’s season opener against the 20th rank BYU Cougars according to the Oklahoman.

Greshman surprised many by coming back to Oklahoma for his senior season as he was a sure bet to...
Big things come in small packages. Just ask the Kansas State Wildcats. Wildcat WR Brandon Banks only stands 5’7 but he plays like he’s much bigger. The speedster from North Carolina burst onto the scene last season with impressive numbers and snatched up Big XII Offensive Player of the Year honors as a result. He’s been compared to the likes of Reggie Bush, Percy Harvin, and Noel Divine. His road to Manhattan, KS was a non-traditional one that included a...
The Colorado Buffaloes received some good news yesterday regarding JUCO transfer, Andre Simmons. Simmons, a wide receiver, was ruled academically ineligible and had been working this summer on completing classes at Independence Community College (KS) towards an associates degree. The series of events leading to Simmons’s reinstatement just confirm how serious Division 1 schools are about their football programs. Colorado’s fall practices opened yesterday giving Simmons and teachers at Independence Community College (ICC) little time to determine his grades for summer classes....

As of now, no suspects have been named but an investigation is still being conducted. The incident is sure to provide locker room fodder for the Aggies when...
Where do we even begin with the Big XII? The same conference that provided many of highlight reel material for Sports Center on Saturday nights for their fast break offenses also captured the eyes and ears of the college football world as the result of a three way tie near the end of the season. Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech each finished with one loss in conference and Big XII officials were confused on how to deal with the...
