The passing stats and the postseason award shows all pointed to the Big 12 being synonymous with quarterbacks and gaudy aerial numbers in recent years.

It was only a natural with quarterbacks like Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford and Graham Harrell leading the way.

But if the opening week of this season is any indication, there could be a philosophical shift in the Big 12 this year with most of the attention turning toward a field of talented tailbacks. The conference had three 200-yard rushers in the same week for just the second time in Big 12 history.
