COMEBACK KIDS
Texas overcame a 35-7 first-half deficit for a 56-35 victory over No. 19 Oklahoma State, the biggest comeback in school history. In 111 years of playing football, the largest deficit the Longhorns had ever overcome to win was 19 points three seasons ago in a Holiday Bowl win over Washington.

BADGERING
Wisconsin held the Big Ten's best rushing offense to just 73 yards in its 38-14 win over Minnesota. The Gophers' top two running backs, Laurence Maroney and Marion Barber III, finished with 57 and 34 yards, respectively. Minnesota had been averaging 266 yards on the ground.
NINE LINE
Oklahoma freshman Adrian Peterson ran for 101 yards, his ninth straight 100-yard game, and scored a touchdown as the second-ranked Sooners beat Texas A&M 42-35.

Andrew Walter threw four touchdown passes in No. 23 Arizona State's 34-31 victory over Stanford, breaking John Elway's Pac-10 record for career touchdown passes. Walter, who was 28-for-43 for 415 yards, has 80 TD passes, breaking Elway's record at Stanford of 77.
HURTING
Tennessee lost the second member of its heralded freshman quarterback class when Erik Ainge separated his right shoulder in the first half of the Volunteers' 17-13 loss to Notre Dame. Ainge recovered his own fumble, was sacked and did not return. His injury came a week after Brent Schaeffer broke his collarbone. Junior Rick Clausen, the younger brother of former Tennessee quarterback Casey Clausen, replaced Ainge in the second half.
