Can the Big 12’s football fortunes be reversed after a disastrous bowl season?
by BERRY TRAMEL
Big 12 football came to a merciful season’s end New Year’s Night. Georgia beat Baylor 26-14 in the Sugar Bowl, and the Big 12 limped home with a 1-5 post-season record.
Only Texas delivered a victory, a 38-10 whipping of Utah in the Alamo Bowl. The Utes were a good team; they arrived in San Antonio with an 11-2 record and ranked 11th nationally.
Utah thus becomes the Big 12’s best victory of the 2019 season, and nothing else is close. The Big 12 had zero non-conference wins over Power 5 opponents with so much as a .500 record. Mississippi State and Boston College, both 6-7, are the most notable conquered this side of Utah. Both fired their coaches after the season.
