BOX SCORE
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Here's one Roy Williams they don't love in
Lawrence.
The freshman receiver, who bears the same name as Kansas'
beloved basketball coach, caught two touchdown passes and ran for
another TD on an end around as No. 19 Texas came back from an early
14-0 deficit to beat the Jayhawks 51-16 on Saturday.
Hodges Mitchell, a week after running for a career-high 229
yards against Texas Tech, set a new mark Saturday with 264 yards
and three touchdowns for Texas.
|  | | Texas' Roy Williams scored three TDs in the Longhorns easy win over Kansas. |
Both of Williams' TD catches came on one-play drives in the
first half for the Longhorns (8-2, 6-1 Big 12), who gave Kansas
(4-6, 2-5) its third straight loss and guaranteed the Jayhawks
their fourth losing season in as many years under coach Terry
Allen.
His second TD catch, a 65-yarder early in the second quarter,
gave Texas the lead for good at 23-16, and his 32-yard reception
set up Mitchell's 2-yard run with 11 seconds left in the half for a
30-16 lead.
Williams finished with four receptions for 180 yards. Chris
Simms, starting in place of the injured Major Applewhite, completed
10 of 18 passes for 240 yards.
The Longhorns got second-half scoring runs of 35 yards from
Williams, 19 yards from Mitchell and 2 yards from Victor Ike.
Texas won despite giving up touchdowns on Kansas' first
possession and the Longhorns' second drive, and an interception on
a 2-point conversion try that Carl Nesmith returned 100 yards to
give Kansas the points instead.
Kansas took a 7-0 lead less than 3 minutes into the game, on a
19-yard end around by Derick Mills. Five plays later, Andrew
Davison stepped in front of Simms' pass in the left flat and
returned it 43 yards to put the Jayhawks up 14-0.
Four plays after Kris Stockton's 19-yard field goal put the
Longhorns on the board late in the first quarter, Quentin Jammer
stripped Kansas' David Winbush of the ball and D.D. Lewis recovered
at the Jayhawks' 38.
Simms threw to Williams for a score on the next play, cutting
Kansas' lead to 14-9, but Nesmith picked off the 2-point try in the
end zone and, after an early burst of speed to get free, jogged
down the sideline ahead of 300-pound offensive tackle Leonard Davis
to make it 16-9.
Texas tied it with 55 seconds left in the first, on Mitchell's
14-yard run. He carried twice for 30 yards on the two-play drive,
after a 17-yard punt by Joey Pelfanio.
