Kansas scored two touchdowns in a four-minute span in the fourth quarter for a 23-13 lead, but UT responded with two TDs in the final 4:12 - including the winner with 11 seconds left - for the victory. ... The killer for KU was an offensive pass-interference call on Charles Gordon on third-and-seven from the KU 26 on the possession between UT's fourth-quarter TDs. Kansas punted away that possession, and Texas capitalized.
