Texas 23, Kansas State 9: For Want of a Quarterback

On a soggy, sloppy day in Austin, we finally discovered what ails Kansas State above all other illnesses as the Wildcats dropped a 23-9 decision to the Longhorns.

It's the quarterback.

Texas kept the Wildcats' ineffectual offense off the board until there were only 32 seconds remaining in the first half, building a 16-0 lead in the process on a pair of Tyrone Swoopes rushing touchdowns and a Nick Rose field goal before K-State finally broke their miserable scoreless streak on a 7-yard toss from Joe Hubener to Dominique Heath. Both teams tried two-point conversions in the half; both missed.
