College football Week 11 winners and losers: Things are bleak in Austin after Texas loses to Kansas

Texas has lost five consecutive games for the first time in over 50 years less than 12 months after paying $24 million to buy out its coaching staff.

The moribund Longhorns lost 57-56 in overtime to an even more moribund Kansas team on Saturday night to drop to 4-6 on the season. Texas turned the ball over four times including an interception in the end zone with less than 90 seconds left that almost sealed Kansas' win.

Texas came back and tied the game with 22 seconds left. And then the Longhorns struck first in overtime. But an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Marcus Washington after he scored gave Kansas the ball at the 13 for its possession.
