3 Biggest Surprises
1. Kansas State and Colin Klein. A reasonable case could be made that Klein deserved to be the Big 12 Player of the Year after running for almost 1,100 yards with 26 scores. The Wildcats deserved to be in a BCS game.
2. Robert Griffin winning the Heisman. It was hardly a shocker that he put up huge numbers, but he came up with an all-timer of an efficient season. He averaged a ridiculous 10.83 yards per attempt.
3. Texas Tech 41, Oklahoma 38. The Red Raiders had played well over the first half of the season on the way to a 5-2 start, losing to Texas A&M and Kansas State in heartbreakers, so it wasn’t totally out of the blue that they came up with the great performance in the win over Oklahoma. And then came the collapse, losing the final five games and not belonging on the same field with Iowa State, Texas, Oklahoma State and Baylor.
3 Biggest Disappointments
1. Iowa State 37, Oklahoma State 31 in double overtime. Had Quinn Sharp’s field goal late in regulation gone three inches to the left, the Cowboys play LSU for the national title and Brandon Weeden is a Heisman finalist. The athletic department lost two coaches in a plane crash, and the football team didn’t look like it was ready to play later that day.
2. Texas A&M in the fourth quarter. It all should’ve worked out perfectly. The Aggies were built to hold late leads with their fantastic running game, but instead they suffered collapse after collapse losing five games – Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas State, and Texas – that they had a hold off. They could’ve easily have been 11-1 instead of 6-6 with a coaching change.
3. Another lousy Texas finish. The Longhorns might be young and they might be improving in key areas, but there’s no excuse for a mediocre 7-5 season following great recruiting class after great recruiting class. It took a miraculous Case McCoy run and a last second field goal to beat Texas A&M and avoid a four-game losing streak to close out the regular season.
