Time for one of my favorite posts of the game week during the season. Every week, we look through the notes provided by the Big 12 and each Big 12 team to give you fun facts about every game heading into the weekend.
We also get interesting numbers and stats from our crack ESPN Stats & Information team. If you've forgotten them, you'll be reminded quickly. Let's get started.
Did you know ...
Landry Jones didn't throw a single interception when targeting Ryan Broyles last year. He threw all 15 while targeting other receivers. On passes not targeting Broyles, his 128.4 passer rating would have ranked 84th nationally among quarterbacks with at least 100 attempts.
Baylor's seven-game home winning streak is the longest in the Big 12 and fifth-longest in the nation, behind Northern Illinois (15), Michigan State (14), Arkansas (11) and Michigan (8).
Tavon Austin gained 941 of his 1,186 receiving yards after the catch. That's the most of any player on a ranked team entering the season. Over 60 percent of those yards came on screen passes.
On throws longer than 15 yards last year, Geno Smith threw 15 touchdown passes and one interception, including eight scores to Stedman Bailey.
Smith was 17-of-31 last year when targeting Bailey more than 15 yards downfield.
In Big 12 play last year, Texas was 1-of-11 passing on third down in the red zone. That's the lowest percentage of any Big 12 team in the past eight years.
Longhorns quarterback David Ash completed 33.9 percent of throws longer than 10 yards last season. In losses, he was 6-of-24 for no scores and five interceptions.
Oklahoma State's average starting position last year was its own 36-yard line, thanks to forcing 27 of its 44 turnovers on drives that began on its opponents' side of the field.
The Big 12 has more Heisman winners (5) than any other conference since the league began in 1996. In 11 of those 16 seasons, the Big 12 has had a finalist finish in the top four in votes.
