LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Texas has won nine games for the first time in six years and secured a spot Friday in the Big 12 Championship Game for the first time since 2009 -- sure signs to coach Tom Herman that the Longhorns are ahead of schedule in his second season.
"We're overachieving right now," Herman said after Texas beat Kansas 24-17.
Herman, 16-9 at Texas, said his team had done "just enough" to earn its spot on Dec. 1 at AT&T Stadium against the winner of Oklahoma-West Virginia, set to play Friday night in Morgantown, West Virginia.
