Oklahoma State Guys Kill Dallas; OU Fans Doing the Math

The Dallas coach didn't lose the Baltimore game.

Tony Turnover didn't lose the Baltimore game.

Dallas was content to try a 50-yard field goal to win the game. How many kicks out of 20 tries would ex-OSU kicker Baily make from the 50, 18 or 19?

First Dez Bryant missed a simple two-point conversion pass.

Then the field goal was a couple of feet wide to the left. It was far and away long enough. Just pulled. Before the game at Baltimore, would Dallas have tried a 50-yard field goal for the win or loss? Sure.

Make a play.

That's the name of the game.

The Big 12 is a mess without a championship game.

Kansas State has no losses. It has road games at West Virginia Saturday, then at TCU and Baylor. Home games are with Tech, OSU and Texas. One loss seems like a sure thing. Two, 50-50. TCU, with a new quarterback, is once more a threat.

West Virginia has one loss. It seldom loses when cheered on at home by mountain folk and what teeth they have. Road games are at OSU and Iowa State. If it wins out, it would have the tiebreaker over K-State and OU.

OU has one loss and has road games at Iowa State, at West Virginia, and at TCU.

The ancient-fashioned Big 12 is at least a conversation piece.

Nobody could see what happened in the ND-Stanford game.

Hope ND is undefeated when OU plays them. I just hope they are not undefeated after the game.

Why isn't the kicker who missed the kick for Dallas considered even slightly responsible for the loss?
