AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Again and again, the
Oklahoma Sooners ran a draw play. 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.

Tubbs said he’s glad Texas has another tough
game right away.
“We want our team to have character,” Tubbs
said. “After losing and then we have another
hard game, this is going to show the character of
our team.”
While most of the public blame of last
week's loss has been directed at quarterback
Chris Simms and the ’Homs’ anemic offensive
effort. 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
