INDIVIDUAL NOTES RB Brandon Whitaker became the 28th player in Baylor history to rush for at least 1,000 career yards. Whitaker turned in the second 100-yard rushing game of his career; his first was a 110-yard outing at SMU in the 2005 season opener. Whitaker's 100-yard rushing game was the first by a Baylor player since Paul Mosley rushed for 133-yard performance at Texas A&M in 2005. Whitaker joined Colorado's Hugh Charles as the only players to record 100-yard rushing games against Colorado this season. Whitaker recorded Baylor's third 100-yard rushing game against Oklahoma in 17 meetings: Jerod Douglas (135 in 1996) and Rashad Armstrong (103 in 2002). Whitaker turned in career highs in rushing yardage (149) and all-purpose yardage (217). Whitaker's rushing yardage total tied for the 23rd-best single-game effort in Baylor history. Whitaker's rushing yardage total was the best by a Baylor player since Rashad Armstrong's 166-yard performance against Oklahoma in 2003. Whitaker's all-purpose yardage total was the ninth-best single-game effort in Baylor history. Whitaker's 57-yard, first-quarter rush was the longest run of his career. Whitaker recorded 10-plus catches for the second time in his career; he had 11 receptions against Colorado earlier this season. It was the longest run by a Baylor player since Mosley's 57-yard run at Texas A&M in 2005. QB Blake Szymanski moved into 10th place on Baylor's career pass attempts list; he now has 542 career pass attempts. Szymanski moved into a 10th-place tie with Don Trull (1961-63) on Baylor's career pass completions list; Szymanski now has 299 career pass completions. Szymanski established a single-season Baylor record with 2,618 passing yards on the season; he broke Shawn Bell's previous record of 2,582 yards established last season. Szymaksi established a single-season Baylor record with 2,739 total yards on the season; he broke Cody Carlson's previous record of 2,640 yards established in 1986. Szymanski established a single-season Baylor record with 20 touchdown passes on the season; he broke Bell's previous record of 19 touchdown passes established last season. Szymanski's 75-yard, second-quarter touchdown pass to Thomas White was the longest pass of Szymanski's career and the longest reception of White's career. The 75-yard Szymanski-to-White pass tied for the 21st-longest pass play in Baylor history. It was Baylor's longest pass play since Bell's 79-yard pass to Dominique Zeigler against Texas A&M last season. White recorded the second 100-yard receiving game of his career; he was one yard shy of his career high (118 yards at Kansas State earlier this season). WR David Gettis moved into third place on Baylor's single-season kickoff returns list; he now has 32 returns on the season. Gettis moved into second place on Baylor's single-season kickoff return yardage list; he now has 733 yards on the season, eight yards shy of Willie Andrews' 2004 record. LB Chris Francis' fourth-quarter interception was the first of his career. SS Jeremy Williams established a career high with eight tackles. LB Joe Pawelek failed to tally at least six tackles for the first time since last season's Oklahoma game, snapping a 10-game streak. He finished with three tackles, tying his career low established in last season's Oklahoma game. |
