Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, left, congratulates running back Bijan Robinson after scoring a touchdown during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game against Kansas, Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022, in Lawrence, Kan. LAWRENCE, Kan. — Even the folks who cover football for a living were at a loss for words.
But at times, at least before their halftime exodus, even those opposing fans had to stop and marvel at the way Robinson dismembered Kansas’ defense in the Longhorns’ 55-14 win. He rushed for a career-high 243 yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries, accumulating all those stats in about two and a half quarters of work.
Well, Robinson had eight carries in the first quarter alone against Kansas, two of which he turned into touchdowns. On the second, a 17-yarder, Robinson bounced outside and flew through an opening untouched, cutting on a dime to avoid the few Jayhawks in his vicinity. On Texas' ensuing possession, Robinson touched the ball six times. He wheeled all the way back across the field on another sensational 24-yard run and followed that by “levitating,” as center Jake Majors put it, over a tangle of bodies for one last touchdown as time expired, pushing Texas’ lead to 31-0 at halftime.Texas coach Steve Sarkisian kept going to Robinson to open the second half. Kansas still had no answer.
Redshirt freshman Jonathon Brooks took the reins for the remainder of the night, generating 108 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns on 11 carries.Texas’ defense deserves major kudos, too.
