Kansas State fell short against Texas 23-9 on a rainy afternoon Saturday at Texas Memorial Stadium.
The Wildcats (3-5, 0-4 Big 12) have lost four consecutive games for the first time since 2008, and the first time under coach Bill Snyder since 2005. The Longhorns (3-4, 2-2) won their second straight game.
Texas won thanks to a dominant first half. The Longhorns owned the opening two quarters behind a strong rushing attack, churning out 188 rushing yards on 36 carries, while passing six times for 33 yards.
Heavy rain and soggy conditions seemed to favor the Wildcats, who entered the day with the Big 12’s top run defense, allowing an average of 126.
