While the results of the weekend may have been straightforward from a favorites standpoint, there was still abundant drama in the way the results came about. Missed kicks, gruesome injuries, baffling time outs, a Kansas Jayhawk passing touchdown and a showdown between two of the conference's hottest teams becomes... a defensive slog? Big 12 football in 2016, everyone.
The Big 12's bottom feeders have both dealt with inconsistencies this year, but have generally made strides each week. Iowa State started ahead of KU this season, and the results of this one bear it out- the Cyclones continues two quarterback shuffle wasn't particularly effective, as running QB Joel Lanning was stifled, while Jacob Park was effective throwing, but looked a bit out of rhythm when taking over after a Lanning series.
