Here is the latest Big 12 Conference sports news from The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Devon Dampier accounted for four touchdowns, Utah intercepted four Bear Bachmeier passes and the third-ranked Utes remained undefeated with a 28-20 victory over No. 7 BYU. Dampier finished with 266 yards of offense to help the Utes snap a three-game losing streak in the Holy War rivalry series. He threw two touchdown passes to Braden Pegan and ran for two more scores. Trailing by six at halftime, Utah forced three turnovers and shut out the Cougars in the second half to keep alive its College Football Playoff hopes alive. BYU has lost two of three to dampen its CFP chances. Bachmeier threw for 272 yards and a touchdown and ran for 59 yards but had two of his four interceptions in the fourth quarter, both in the end zone. TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Jake Fette became the first Arizona State quarterback in 30 years to throw and catch a touchdown pass in the same game and the Sun Devils held on to beat Colorado 20-10. Coming off a 27-20 loss at No. 7 BYU, the Sun Devils raced out to a 17-0 halftime lead against the flailing Buffaloes. Fette threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Reed Harris and caught 1-yard TD pass, becoming first Arizona State quarterback since Jake Plummer in 1996 to have both in the same game. The Buffaloes came to life after a lackluster first half to pull within 20-10, but turned it over on downs late in the fourth quarter to end their hopes of a comeback. LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Caden Piening reeled in a 6-yard reception with three seconds left on the clock to lift UCF over Kansas 33-32 on Saturday. A 10-play, 73-yard drive took the Knights to the 6-yard line in just under one minute of clock, and Alonza Barnett III found Piening at the left pylon for the score. After a replay review, the call on the field was upheld. UCF (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) built up a 19 point lead early in the third quarter, but Kansas chipped away and eventually took the lead at the 1:06 mark after 25 unanswered points. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — BYU's College Football Playoff hopes took a hit with a 28-20 loss to Utah. The No. 7 Cougars struggled in the second half, managing only 111 yards and three turnovers. Utah, now 9-0, extended its winning streak to 15 games and is closer to a Big 12 title game spot. BYU is two games behind in the standings and has lost two of its last three games. Coach Kalani Sitake emphasized the need to rally. Utah's defense pressured BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier into three second-half interceptions. Utah quarterback Devon Dampier accounted for four touchdowns, keeping the Utes on track for bigger goals. HOUSTON (AP) — Re’Shaun Sanford II ran for 126 yards and the tiebreaking score in the fourth quarter, and Conner Weigman threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns as No. 17 Houston beat Cincinnati 31-24. Sanford’s 51-yard TD run with 5:10 remaining gave the Cougars the lead. Cincinnati drove to the Houston 42, but a throw by JC French IV was ruled a backward pass after a replay review, and Houston recovered with 2:11 remaining. The Cougars ran out the clock from there. Cincinnati wide receiver JV Gibson was carted off the field with 6:59 remaining in the fourth quarter after taking a hit in the end zone by Jordan Allen, who was ejected. LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Thomas Castellanos threw for a career-high five touchdowns, including the go-ahead score to Kenny Johnson with 2:44 remaining, and No. 13 Texas Tech held on for a 53-48 victory over West Virginia in an old-school Big 12 offensive slugfest that ended early Sunday morning. The Red Raiders stayed on track for a shot at a second consecutive conference title by rallying from seven points down in the fourth quarter after leading by 14 at halftime. The teams combined for 1,220 yards of offense, including 894 before halftime. MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Drew Mestemaker became the first Bowl Subdivision player with four touchdown passes, one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown since Virginia’s Brennan Armstrong against BYU in 2021, as Oklahoma State trounced Kansas State 66-28. Mestemaker, who finished 22 of 28 for 313 yards, had three first-half touchdown passes, and Caleb Hawkins had three first-half rushing touchdowns for the Cowboys. Hawkins rushed for 175 yards with three rushing touchdowns and added a receiving touchdown for Oklahoma State (6-3, 4-2 Big 12). Kansas State dropped its third straight game to fall to 4-5, 1-5. WACO, Texas (AP) — DJ Lagway threw for 229 yards with two touchdowns and ran for career-high 119 yards and another score as Baylor surged past Iowa State 42-31 in the first home game for the Bears since the firing of coach Dave Aranda. Baylor trailed 17-7 in the second quarter before scoring four consecutive touchdowns to improve to 2-0 under interim coach Joe Klanderman. The Cyclones followed their thrilling upset of then-No. 24 Oklahoma State with their third loss in four games. Iowa State’s Aiden Flora rushed 26 times for 182 yards, including a 40-yard score.
