I don't know for sure, but doesn't the Big 12 Championship stats go toward the regular season? If this is true, Cedric Benson can still be the first freshman running back to get 1000 yards for Texas. Does anyone know for sure where the stats go?
I don't know the for-sure answer to this question, and I'd like to know, too. . . but I do know this: I read a quote from mack brown last night that said something to the effect of "well, since cedric didn't get his 1,000 yards today, we just decided we needed to schedule another game." I'm paraphrasing, but you can certainly infer from what brown said that the stats from the big 12 championship will count. if anyone knows for certain, I'm all ears.
Yeah -- Big 12 Championship stats DO count towards the "regular season" stats for his season & career. Bowl games, however, do not.
