  • Record, title, turmoil in Kansas vs. No. 3 Texas

     AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- When Colt McCoy started his first game at Texas in 2006, the second pass of his career was a sign of things to come: It was a 60-yard touchdown in a rout of North Texas.

    He still calls it one of his fondest memories at Royal-Memorial Stadium. Tomorrow night, McCoy will trot onto the home-field turf for the last time with a chance to grab a record of a lifetime.

    The third-ranked Longhorns will host a Kansas team mired in a losing streak and a school investigation of coach Mark Mangino. If Texas beats the Jayhawks, McCoy will set the NCAA record for career victories by a starting quarterback with 43 -- and he'll get his first Big 12 South championship.

    Over his four seasons as a starter, McCoy has built a resume that ranks among the best in college history in terms of wins, school records and name recognition. After all, a Texas QB named Colt is pretty catchy.

    What McCoy is missing is a championship. Texas hasn't won a Big 12 or even a division title since the national championship season of 2005 when Vince Young was leading the Longhorns. A win over Kansas clinches a berth in the Big 12 title game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington on Dec. 5.

    If the Longhorns (10-0, 6-0 Big 12) remain undefeated, they'll likely earn a shot at the Bowl Championship Series title game in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 7.
