Oklahoma State upsets Missouri

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Oklahoma State snarled Chase Daniel and a Missouri offense that had been scoring at will, intercepting three passes in the second half and upsetting the third-ranked Tigers 28-23 victory on Saturday night.

Zac Robinson and Damian Davis hooked up on a pair of long scores in the second half, and Patrick Lavine's interception with 1:41 to go was the clincher for the No. 17 Cowboys. Missouri (5-1, 1-1 Big 12) had appeared poised to challenge for No. 1 with a strong effort after top-ranked Oklahoma lost to Texas and No. 2 Alabama had the weekend off.

Instead, it was the coming-out party for the Cowboys (6-0, 2-0 Big 12). Oklahoma State, only 18-19 in coach Mike Gundy's first three seasons, is 6-0 for only the second time since 1945.

And it was Robinson, not Daniel, who played like a Heisman Trophy front-runner. Robinson was 19-for-28 for 215 yards and two touchdowns. Kendall Hunter had 154 yards on 24 carries and a 68-yard scoring run.

Daniel was 39-for-52 for 390 yards and a touchdown for Missouri, which had won 10 in a row and 18 of 19 at home but were held 19 points below their scoring average. Derrick Washington, averaging 100 yards per game, was held to 11 yards on eight carries with a 5-yard scoring run.

Texas Tech 37, Nebraska 31

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Eric Morris scooted 1 yard around right end for a touchdown in overtime and Jamar Wall made that score stand up for Texas Tech with an interception as the seventh-ranked Red Raiders defeated Nebraska.

Texas Tech (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) left the door open for the Cornhuskers to win it with a touchdown and extra point, when the Red Raiders botched the PAT after Morris' score.

But the mistake didn't cost the Red Raiders. Joe Ganz, who threw for 349 yards for Nebraska (3-3, 0-2), was scrambling and trying to throw the ball away on the Huskers' second play in OT when Jamar Wall intercepted along the Texas Tech sideline to end the game.

Graham Harrell, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, was 20-of-25 for 284 yards.

Late in regulation Harrell threw a 47-yarder to Michael Crabtree on fourth-and-5 from the Red Raiders 36 to keep Texas Tech's drive alive after Nebraska tied it at 24 midway through the fourth quarter.

A few plays later Harrell took it in on a sneak to put Tech up 31-24.

Ganz brought the Huskers back in quickly. Todd Peterson caught two passes from Ganz for 11 yards each en route to completing a 17-yarder for a TD to cap an eight-play drive in 1:52 -- the shortest possession for the Huskers all day.

Baylor 38, Iowa St. 10

WACO, Texas -- Baylor freshman quarterback Robert Griffin and new coach Art Briles needed only two games to do what the Bears hadn't done in two years: win in the Big 12.
