Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, on hand for Saturday's Texas-West Virginia game, said he had hoped to announce the site of the conference football championship about two weeks ago. He said he expects a decision soon and for multiple years. AT&T Stadium in Arlington is viewed as a prohibitive favorite with Kansas City and San Antonio also seeking the game.
-- Texas lost sophomore linebacker Malik Jefferson in the first series to a head injury. Since a benching, Jefferson had 18 tackles and four sacks in his previous two games.
-- Freshman receiver Collin Johnson had seven catches for 86 yards and touchdown but also apologized for coming up a yard short on fourth down in the fourth quarter.
