Texas uses huge first quarter to exact revenge from Kansas
Texas uses huge first quarter to exact revenge from Kansas AUSTIN - Revenge is not the purest motivator.Nor is it the most stable.Playing with that kind of raw emotion can leave the mind clouded and body burnt out.But when channeled properly it can make a fine, if ephemeral and highly combustible, fuel.Texas (5-5, 4-3 Big 12) might have burnt out too soon Saturday night, but its opening salvo proved enough to down error-prone Kansas (1-9, 0-7), 42-27, at Royal-Memorial Stadium.It took nine seconds for UT to get on the board.After recovering a game-opening onside kick inside Kansas territory, quarterback Shane Buechele dropped a 49-yard dime to Lorenzo Joe - who enjoyed a career day with five receptions for 98 yards - as he streaked past the coverage and over-the-top safety help.That play in and of itself was not reason to believe UT was playing with hate in its heart.That showed on the other side of the ball.On KU’s first possession safety Jason Hall speared Jayhawks quarterback Carter Stanley with the all the intensity of a medieval battering ram.Team physicians examined a sprawled Stanley as he struggled to suck in air.Later in the first quarter DeShon Elliott drove running back Khalil Herbert into the ground with such force it’s a wonder there wasn’t a man-sized silhouette embedded in the turf.That aggression did not always serve UT’s purposes though.Often enough, those punishing hits were counterbalanced by miscues borne of overzealousness and big-play hunting.Both of KU’s first half touchdown drives were helped by UT penalties.Stanley Sim’s five-yard scoring reception was aided by a horse-collar penalty and defensive pass interference call.A 12-play, 75-yard drive that ended in leaping end-zone grab by 6-foot-6 freshman Earl Bostick Jr.benefited from an illegal substitution penalty called on UT.And Kris Boyd’s fumbled kickoff return became the genesis of KU’s 36-yard field goal late in the second quarter, which cut UT’s lead to 28-17.Against another team, say West Virginia or Texas Tech, those mistakes might have cost Texas the game.It survived against Kansas because of its superior talent and the 28-7 first-quarter cushion that talent built.Senior Antwaun Davis turned in arguably the best performance of his career starting at nickelback in place of injured P.J.Locke (ankle).He had 16-yard pick-six in the first quarter, recovered a muffed punt at the Kansas 22-yard line, then intercepted Stanley in the end zone one drive later.All in the first half.In total UT’s defense forced four turnovers and recorded four sacks.Another unsung senior, Jason Hall, finished with six tackles, one sack and one interception.“This is a guy that needed to pass an ungodly amount of hours in the spring and summer to graduate, and he needed to graduate to be eligible to play this season,” coach Tom Herman said of Davis.“And he graduated and is playing really good…he’s filled in very well for P.J.“And then Jason Hall, that’s another product of P.J.going out, but it
