Time after time, Texas couldn’t stop it. Unbeatable two weeks ago, the Longhorns defense suddenly looks suspect heading into Saturday’s pivotal game at No. 17 Kansas State. Texas defenders are still having nightmares about the fourth quarter of last week’s 35-24 loss in which Oklahoma running back Quentin Griftin churned out nearly half of his 248 yards rushing. What frustrated Texas is they knew what was coming but were powerless — or just too darn tired — to tackle him. “The whole day, they ran one play,” said Texas coach Mack Brown. “We just couldn’t stop it.” That doesn’t bode well for Saturday against Kansas State (5-1, 1-1 Big 12), which will mix a power running game with a passing attack that can strike for big plays. Eighth-ranked Texas (5-1, 1-1) has called this week a gut check. Win, and the ’Horns are still in the national title chase. Lose, and they’re out. Defensive lineman Marcus t the Sep Senate n Project s There's a lot of football left to be played... but there's no use in looking down the road if you're not going to play this week. missed 15 tackles.” Texas went into the Oklahoma game No. 2 in the nation in total defense.

Brown has consistently deflected that criticism toward the defense’s inability to make a stop late in the game. • “When you give up 248 yards rushing to one guy, you’re going to get beat,” Brown said. “We Ell Roberson.
