Big 12 Offenses by the Numbers: Week 10
TCU QB Chandler Morris exploded onto the scene in Week 10 with a monster game in the Horned Frogs’ 30-28 upset over Baylor in the Revivalry. Morris completed 29 of 41 attempts for 2 touchdowns and 461 yards without an interception. He also led TCU in rushing with 70 yards and another TD on 11 carries.
Elsewhere, Texas’ offense fizzled against Iowa State’s defense as Casey Thompson was replaced by Hudson Card, and West Virginia’s offense came crashing to earth against Oklahoma State and the best defense in the Big 12. Kansas State, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State’s offense took care of business in wins spurred by defense, and Baylor’s offense did enough to win, but came up short of Morris and TCU.
Here are all the numbers you need to track Big 12 offenses through Week 9. As always, let the reader beware: Stats can be deceiving.
