It wasn’t the prettiest outing of the season, but the No. 7 Texas Longhorns did enough to top the No. 23 Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday and secure their best nine-game start since the 2009 season.
The Wildcats were red-hot on both sides of the ball heading into the matchup, going two full games without surrendering a touchdown and outscoring opponents 82-3 over that stretch. After a lopsided start, it turned out to be the slugfest everyone predicted it would be, with the usual suspects contributing to the outcome, both positively and negatively in the matchup.
