- Big 12 football receiving leaders after Week 3
Colorado may not have had a good day against Northwestern. However, wide receiver Joseph Williams still put up solid numbers with five receptions for 88 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown, to remain in the Big 12's top 10 in receiving yards.
Around the conference, it is hard to find a receiver who had a better day on Saturday than Justin Bowick with Oklahoma State . In the Cowboys' 59-0 shutout against Murray State, Bowick was the leading receiver with nine receptions for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Ed Small with TCU also had a good week with 164 yards and a touchdown in the Horned Frogs' win against Arkansas State.

Kenny Johnson also played a key role in Texas Tech 's thrilling win over Houston on Friday with four receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown. His score came on a 35-yard deep shot near the beginning of the second quarter to get the Red Raiders on the board after getting themselves in a 10-0 hole against the Cougars early.
Here are the top 10 receivers in the Big 12 in receiving yards after Week 3:
