AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – Junior Roschon Johnson ran for a career-best 179 yards, Cameron Dicker kicked three field goals, and Texas summoned some uncommonly strong defense to beat Kansas State 22-17.
Texas ended the regular season by snapping a six-game losing streak, its longest since 1956.
Johnson, who arrived at Texas as a quarterback but quickly converted to running back, carried 31 times.
He ran for a 9-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Kansas State’s Deuce Vaughn, raised in the Austin suburb Round Rock, staged a good show for the family and friends who came to watch him, rushing for 143 yards and a TD.
