Seeking a second road win in conference play, the No. 6 Texas Longhorns head to Stillwater on Saturday for a matchup against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
With the cloud of former head coach Chris Beard’s suspension now lifted following his with-cause termination on Thursday due to his felony arrest in December for domestic violence, perhaps the Longhorns can re-focus on the defensive effort that defined Texas under Beard but has slipped in recent weeks since his arrest.
One can only hope that Tuesday marked the low point of that regression — an historic home loss to an unranked Kansas State team sitting in the bottom half of the conference in most offensive measures that featured 116 points allowed, the most scored by the Wildcats in school history and tied for the most ever allowed in a Big 12 game.
