ASU, Texas Tech Hand Baylor Big 12 Losses

Arizona State senior kicker Jesús Gomez was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week after a career-high four field goals — including a 43-yarder as time expired — lifted ASU to a 27-24 conference-opening win over Baylor. The loss dropped Baylor to 2-2 in 2025; the game featured scoring from quarterback Sawyer Robertson and tight end Michael Trigg, and Baylor now heads to a road game at Oklahoma State. Statistically, Baylor’s passing attack remains prolific this season, ranking second in the FBS with 180 targets and fifth with 1,354 receiving yards, though the team has battled uneven execution and injury concerns. Baylor women’s soccer’s unbeaten start ended in a 1-0 Big 12 loss to Texas Tech after a second-half penalty, and coach Michelle Lenard urged a tougher, more clinical road performance as the team travels to Kansas and Kansas State. Separately, Arkansas State moved its Oct. 4 home football kickoff to 3 p.m. for an ESPNU broadcast, shifting an A‑State volleyball match to noon and enabling a cross-ticket doubleheader promotion.
