Worst uniform

Baylor coach Matt Rhule

Baylor's coach is quickly earning respect around the country. He could be the national coach of the year at this rate. It was even impressive to watch him run sprints on the field in pregame. 

But his coaching attire could use some work.

Is it a gray vest over a green shirt? Is there a hood? Is it one piece? Who told him this was a good idea?

He looks more like an X-ray tech than a coach. But, the results outweigh the fashion.

Best catch

OSU's male cheerleader

On the kickoff after LD Brown's 68-yard touchdown run, an OSU male cheerleader got his shining moment.

Jake McClure's kickoff sailed out of the back of the end zone, where the cheerleader made a diving catch.

His effort made the giant videoboard, and it was well deserved.

Worst discipline

Oklahoma State

The Cowboys' discipline had been much improved this season - until Saturday night.

OSU had eight penalties for 92 yards. It's not necessarily a terrible total, but when that includes multiple of the 15-yard variety, it's troublesome.

Coach Mike Gundy brushed off Johnny Wilson's late personal foul as a penalty of frustration. Wilson also appeared to be defending his quarterback. 

But the two pass interference penalties on Baylor's go-ahead drive early in the fourth can't happen. A.J. Green and Rodarius Williams each drew a flag that aided Baylor's touchdown drive.

Best halftime hustle

Homecoming award recognition

Homecoming parade grand marshals Ross and Billie McKnight had the easy job at halftime. They stood and smiled.

It was the steady stream of representatives from fraternities, sororities and other clubs that had the tough job during halftime for homecoming honors.

With the McKnights standing firm, each duo honored for their homecoming spirit and efforts had to sprint to them for a quick photo. It went on for a good 5 minutes of halftime.
