The Texas Longhorns hosted the No. 20 Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday afternoon, improving to 6-3 and keeping their outside chance at a Big 12 championship alive. It took every bit of 60 minutes to pull off the win, but the fact remains that the Longhorns defeated a ranked opponent on Saturday.
Texas was able to use a mixture of run-pass options and quick passes to stay ahead of the chains for most of Saturday afternoon. Despite putting themselves in trouble several times due to penalties, the Longhorns did not have a busted drive on the afternoon — defined as drives that gain zero or negative yards.
