Texas is back! This time, the Longhorns might in fact be — back. Texas beat the Alabama Crimson Tide by ten points on Saturday, after entering the weekend as the one-score underdog, more on this later. As a collective, the Big 12 went 10-4 over the weekend. Many of the teams competed against better squads than a week ago, but the Horned Frogs were in luck to play Nicholls after losing to the now, 18th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes in week 1.
Kansas 34, Illinois 23
To kick off the weekend, the Jayhawks took on the Fighting Illini on Friday night.
