Big 12 Quarterbacks Having Big Season
IRVING (AP) - The Big 12 is quickly turning into the league of quarterbacks.
Landry Jones of Oklahoma is third nationally in total offense, followed immediately by Brandon Weeden of Oklahoma State.
Throw in Baylor's Robert Griffin III and Texas Tech's Seth Doege and the conference has four of the top six in the nation in that category.
It's not surprising their teams are a combined 18-2 this season.
The least-productive quarterback in the conference is Kansas State's Collin Klein, who comes in at No. 67 in total offense nationally. All he's done is get the Wildcats off to a 5-0 start.
Texas coach Mack Brown says there are ``three or four'' Heisman Trophy candidates playing QB in the conference this year.
