Pass-happy Big 12 boasts nation's top 3 rushers
NCAA Football Betting Lines
09/08/2010 -
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -The Big 12 is ready to run again.
The pass-happy league that's been known in recent years for producing Heisman Trophy finalists at quarterback is now the home of the nation's top three rushers.
Oklahoma State's Kendall Hunter, Kansas State's Daniel Thomas and Oklahoma's DeMarco Murray pulled off a rare trifecta in the opening weekend of the season. They're only the fifth trio in conference history to rush for 200 yards apiece on the same day.
The feat hadn't happened in a dozen years in a conference that has lately become so passionate about passing. In fact, there had been only three 200-yard rushing performances total over the past two years - much less in the same day.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
