Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops made two things clear Monday: There won't be a change at quarterback for the Sooners and he is OK with the direction his program is headed.
When their fast-paced, high-scoring offense sputtered early, the fifth-ranked Bears' largely overshadowed but consistently solid defense kept stopping No. 12 Oklahoma.
No. 12 Oklahoma at No. 5 Baylor, with first place on the line in the Big 12, kicks off tomorrow night. Then, a few minutes after 9 p.m., comes No. 2 Oregon against No. 6 Stanford, the Pac-12 game of the year.
With the Big 12 heading into a final five-week stretch to determine its 2013 champion, the league on Tuesday released in 2014 conference football schedule.
This is the week college football fans have had circled on the calendar for quite some time. This is the week that will begin to truly shape the BCS Championship picture. This is the week we have been waiting for.
The Big 12 regular season spans 15 Saturdays from August to December. It could easily go the distance before a champion is crowned.
The Supreme Court will not review an Oklahoma court ruling that struck down a state law limiting drug-induced abortions.
Alongside fifth-ranked Baylor, No. 13 Oklahoma, No. 15 Texas Tech and No. 18 Oklahoma State, it's unranked Texas (5-2, 4-0) that can take sole possession of first place over the idle Bears with a win at home Saturday against Kansas.
Blake Bell threw for 249 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Damien Williams added two more scores as No. 17 Oklahoma outlasted No. 10 Texas Tech in a 38-30 win.
While the Sooners have the No. 1 pass defense in the nation, Stoops said slowing down Texas Tech will be the job of more than just the defensive unit. The offense must help as well.
Texas Tech (7-0, 4-0), which was ranked seventh in the preseason Big 12 poll, is now ranked 10th in the country and alone in first place.
A former Arlington school security guard and karate teacher has been arrested and charged with several counts of child sex abuse and child pornography.

After a 36-20 victory over Oklahoma, the only win for McCoy and this group of Texas seniors, the tone of their final season has suddenly changed.
Case McCoy and these Texas seniors gave Mack Brown a much needed and long-awaited win over Oklahoma.
Every other program that takes itself seriously as a national power would have fired Brown by now. Most observers at this point feel like it's one if not two years past due.
All that matters to Texas coach Mack Brown this week is trying to win a game.
It's been a good season for No. 12 Oklahoma running the football - a pair of 300-yard outings against Louisiana-Monroe and West Virginia and a 212-yard performance in a tough win at Notre Dame.
It has only happened five times during Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops' 15-year tenure, but occasionally another team comes to town and beats the Sooners on their home field.
The fact that six teams got first-place votes in the preseason Big 12 poll was a sure sign that league would be unpredictable in 2013.
For a quarterback with exactly one collegiate start, Blake Bell is about as prepared as one can be to face a marquee opponent on the road.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kevin Harvick joined first-responders from Texas and Oklahoma for a Sept. 11 tribute to those who served the region and those who died.
Coach Bob Stoops said Monday that junior Blake Bell will start on Saturday against Tulsa. He says Trevor Knight suffered a bruised knee late in the first half of Oklahoma's 16-7 win over West Virginia and will miss one to two weeks.
Beating the late-summer heat isn't as easy as running to the sink in one northeast Oklahoma town, as residents there are being asked not to drink tap water after red worms were found in the filtering system.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says it was consistency in practice that won Trevor Knight the job as the Sooners' starting quarterback.
