70-63? Records galore! [View all]
Is the Big 12 now the new MWC?
I wish I had seen this, but I was flying back to Denver.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- No. 9 West Virginia and the Big 12, perfect together.
Geno Smith and the fast-moving, high-scoring Mountaineers proved they fit right in with their new conference, outracing No. 25 Baylor 70-63 on Saturday in the Big 12's highest-scoring game ever.
Smith tied a conference mark with eight touchdown passes and narrowly missed another one with 656 yards passing.
''It did feel like one of those classic Texas shootouts,'' said Smith, whose school moved over from the Big East this season. ''That's kind of what the Big 12 is about.''
Smith outdueled Baylor's Nick Florence, who broke Heisman Trophy-winning predecessor Robert Griffin III's school record with 581 yards. Florence threw for five TDs.
School, conference and FBS marks all got rewritten in this one.
