The Big 12's receiver tradition has been unbelievable over the course of the past few years. The NFL draft drained much of it last season, and the result is one of the least heralded corps we've seen conference-wide in a while. Still, this is the ...

We'll take a look at some of the Big 12's breakout stars this spring, but we'll move forward with a series looking at guys who will be stepping into bigger roles this season and what they have to provide. Some are going from being role players to sta...

We're back again looking at a different Big 12 team with title aspirations next fall. The Frogs limped (literally) through their first season in the Big 12, dealing with more injuries and personnel losses than any team in the Big 12, but still manage...

We wrapped up our postseason list of the Big 12's top 25 players, and included a few guys who just missed. What about next year's list? Here's a few guys you can probably expect to see on next year's postseason list who didn't make the 2012 versio...

Signing day has come and gone, but we'll have plenty of coverage looking more closely at each Big 12 team's class. This morning, we're looking at how each team filled its needs. We ran down the top of the Big 12 alphabet earlier today. Here's the sec...

Every year, there's lots of turnover and change for every college program. What do the Big 12 teams need to do before next fall? Let's continue our look with the Frogs here in Fort Worth. 1. See what Casey Pachall has to offer and make a decision....

We're grading each Big 12 team's season right now, and we'll move on to the next team on the list: The TCU Horned Frogs. OFFENSE: You have to wonder what could have been for TCU in Year 1 in the Big 12 if Casey Pachall had stayed on the team, Ed W...

In the weeks leading up to the Cotton Bowl, SoonerNation will take a look back at how the Sooners performed position-by-position and give each group a grade based on that performance. Today, we examine the safety position. Highlights: Tony Jeffers...

Who was up and who was down in the Sooners' 24-17 win at TCU: THREE UP 1. Mike Stoops. After three consecutive miserable outings, the Stoops' defense reverted to early-season form with a strong performance in Fort Worth. The 80-yard TD pass to ...

TCU coach Gary Patterson knew the Big 12 would be full of new challenges. Chief among them: close games. The last time TCU had more than one conference game decided by one possession was 2008. That season, it was only two. Since then, the Horned F...

Time for a few superlatives from the week that was in the Big 12: Best offensive performance: Brennan Clay, RB, Oklahoma. No huge standouts this week, but I'm going with Clay narrowly ahead of a few other deserving folks. Iowa State has a pretty g...

Time to hand out some hardware for a job well done in the Big 12 on Saturday. Your stickers are in the mail, boys. Gary Patterson, coach, TCU: Hey, the players are the ones who do it on the field, but Patterson went with a pair of gutsy gambles in...

TCU was going to go down fighting, one way or the other. The Horned Frogs trailed by seven after WVU took just one play to score in double overtime, but TCU had plans to do the same. Receiver Brandon Carter, a former high school quarterback, gr...

It's been a spooky season in the Big 12 this year. To commemorate Halloween on the blog, we're letting you know what to keep an eye on. Jason Voorhies (team that refuses to die): TCU. The Frogs have taken their licks. Casey Pachall is gone. The te...

Here's what I learned after five Big 12 games in Week 8: K-State is the unquestioned leader for the Big 12 title. Any questions? Kansas State has three road victories against Top 25 teams this year and walked into Oklahoma and West Virginia and ha...
