— Oklahoma will lose their leading running back,Keith Ford, for at least a week. The prognosis is for 2-3 weeks, but head coach Bob Stoops said it’s really unclear after this week. Ford will be a significant subtraction from the lineup being both a threat on the ground and in the air. He has nearly 300 all-purpose yards (100 in the air) and has six touchdowns (five rushing, one receiving).
— Iowa State will loseJacob DunningandP.J. Harrisfor the rest of the year. Dunning, an offensive lineman, suffered a ruptured patellar tendon and Harris suffered a broken leg bone. There is a possibility that Harris could return at the end of the year. Injuries continue to pile on the offensive line and at receiver, but luckilyJacob Gannonreturned andJarvis Westwon’t be sidelined after his injury against Iowa.
