Big Eight Football Chaos Still Matters in Week Six
The Big Eight slate left a tangled race with five teams at 2-1 after Nebraska’s 34-24 loss to Missouri and Oklahoma’s 31-24 defeat of Oklahoma State. Colorado routed Iowa State 33-14, Kansas beat Kansas State 24-14, while Oklahoma and Nebraska admitted unsettling title doubts as turnover woes doomed the Huskers. Missouri’s Pete Woods connected on a 98-yard TD to seal the upset, and Oklahoma State’s Terry Miller starred in the Cowboys’ decade-best win over Oklahoma. Kansas, led by Scott McMichael and Mark Lissak, held off Kansas to improve to 5-2 with Nolan Cromwell sidelined.
