Oklahoma
Texas A&M defeated Oklahoma for the first time since 2002. Also the first time A&M beat a ranked opponent at home since 2007 Texas. It was an upset victory that included 3 goal-line stands by the A&M defense. OU ran 15 plays under the Aggie 10-yard line, and gained only 11 yards. Michael Hodges was part of the 3 goal-line stands. He earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors for his career-high 19 tackles. A&M also became ranked after the game, for the first time since September 21, 2007.

Oklahoma's loss was historically significant. OU ran the most plays (104) in its history, beating the previous record of 102. In games in which the Sooners ran more than 90 plays, the Sooners had been 39–0. The Sooners also had only 29 first downs; OU was 57–0 before the game, in which it made at least 29 first downs.

Baylor
Cyrus Gray picked up 137 rushing yards for a career-high of 4 touchdowns.

Nebraska
Record-setting crowd of 90,079. Cyrus Gray's fifth consecutive 100-yard rushing game (Darren Lewis 1990). Trent Hunter had 2 interceptions. Nebraska was charged with a school-record 16 penalties for a total of 145 yards, and Texas A&M only had 2 penalties for 10 yards. No touchdowns were scored for either team, and all of the points were scored by way of field goals. Taylor Martinez re-injured his right ankle in the first quarter when he was stepped on by one of his offensive linemen.

Questionable roughing the passer call against Nebraska. Bo Pelini's behavior during the game was called into question.

Texas
Cyrus Gray had a 200-yard game, first A&M RB since Leeland McElroy 1995. This game pushed Cyrus Gray over the 1,000 yard rushing mark for the 2010 season. Texas finished with its first losing season since 1997. With the win, the Aggies won a share of the Big 12 South Division title.
