Here are some things to watch in the Big 12 Conference in Week 9:GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 10 West Virginia at Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), trying to stay undefeated before the initial College Football Playoff rankings come out next week, have held their three league opponents to a combined 43 points. Texas Tech, the Big 12s top scoring team with at least 38 points in every other game, had only 17 against West Virginia. Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1) has won three games in a row and is among the leagues top scoring teams at 41 points per game. Before becoming WVUs coach in 2011, Dana Holgorsen spent the previous season as Oklahoma States offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Mike Gundy.BEST MATCHUPTexas freshman WR Devin Duvernay vs. Baylor. While maybe a subplot for the eighth-ranked Bears (6-0, 3-0), who are the leagues top defense, Duvernay was a highly touted recruit that had signed with Baylor last spring. Duvernay was among several signees that never reported to Waco after coach Art Briles lost his job, though it was discovered that his national letter of intent with the Bears was never submitted to the Big 12 anyway. Duvernay has three TD catches, one in each of the last three games and all at least 63 yards long .INSIDE THE NUMBERSThat wild 66-59 loss to No. 16 Oklahoma last Saturday was Texas Techs fourth loss the last two seasons when scoring more than 50 points. That stretch started with a 55-52 loss last season to TCU, which is where the Red Raiders play Saturday. ... Texas RB DOnta Foreman has eight consecutive 100-yard rushing games, second in school history behind Earl Campbells 11 in a row in 1977. ... TCU linebackers Travin Howard (69 tackles) and Ty Summers (65 tackles) are the leagues top two tacklers. ... Iowa State and Kansas State are playing for the 100th time. They have met every year since 1917, with the Cyclones holding a 49-46-4 series advantage.LONG SHOTNo. 16 Oklahoma (5-2, 4-0), which has won 12 consecutive Big 12 games, is a nearly six-touchdown favorite against Kansas (1-6, 0-4). The Jayhawks have lost their last 16 conference games. The Sooners are 11-0 under coach Bob Stoops against Kansas, and won those games by an average margin of 29 points.IMPACT PERFORMERJoe Mixon became the first Oklahoma player ever with at least 200 yards rushing (263) and 100 yards receiving (114) in the same game, for an FBS season-high 377 all-purpose yards against Texas Tech.

A look at his scorecard on the PGA.com website shows six birdies (those appear in blue), five bogeys (a light brown) and a double (a darker brown). Add it all up and it spelled a tough day for the Brantford, Ont., resident who ended his day with that double and a score of 71. After a great start to his week, Hearn has slipped each of the following two days, blaming his putter for the slide. “The bottom line is I just didnt putt well enough today,” Hearn summarized. “Hopefully I can straighten that out (Sunday) and shoot a good score, maybe even get into red numbers.” Hearns day included missing some putts from knee-knock range on eight and nine, and then coming back with a solid birdie on the 10th after hitting his approach in to about six feet. A hole later, his tee shot on the par-3 11th landed in some deep rough beside the green. He hacked it out, clanging it off the pin and dropping it into the hole for another birdie. “I was just really trying to keep that one on the green,” he admitted. “To have it go in was a bonus.” He added another birdie at the 15th but stumbled home with a bogey on the 17th before his unfortunate double at the last. Those two final holes played as the first and third toughest on the course respectively Saturday and ate up more than their fair share of players. Still, Hearn waas hoping for a better ending to his day.ddddddddddddnbsp; “Im a little disappointed in my finish,” he stated. “I had a string of birdies going on the back nine, but 17 and 18 are just playing so long. Theyre really more like par 5s. On 17, for example, I hit driver, 3-wood just to get there. Thats how long those holes are playing.” Despite that finish, it didnt take Hearn long to put it behind him. Hes able to laugh at himself for his hiccups and move on to the next challenge. It is, after all, only golf. Its his job and the way he makes his living, but he seems able to understand that getting upset over a bad finish is wasted energy. Hearn still has work to do on Sunday, a move up the leaderboard will assist him in the year-end FedEx cup playoffs. It will also put some cash in bank, which, with an $8 million purse, can be significant. Throw in some Official World Golf Ranking Points and even a few Presidents Cup points, and Sunday is an important day. “My goal for [Sunday] is to try and get into red numbers for the day and maybe even the week,” Hearn stated. “If I can put together a real nice Sunday round, shoot three or four under, I can move up into a good spot.” Even if that doesnt happen over the final 18 holes Hearn has certainly gained a lot this week. Hes taken another step in his career that has been a slow and steady climb, a climb that is proving nothing but a success. ' ' '
