Texas 23, Kansas 0: Tyrone Swoopes passed for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead the visiting Longhorns in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

Duke Thomas intercepted two passes for Texas (2-2, 1-0), which finished with four picks and turned away the Jayhawks on a 4th-and-goal at the 5-yard line late in the third quarter while protecting a 13-0 lead. Jaxon Shipley caught six passes for 81 yards and also returned a punt 41 yards to set up the Longhorns' first touchdown and John Harris finished with six catches for a game-high 89 yards and a touchdown.

Montrell Cozart completed 12-of-31 passes for 140 yards and also rushed for 32 yards but was intercepted four times for Kansas (2-2, 0-1). De'Andre Mann rushed for 83 yards on 17 carries while Nick Harwell caught five passes for 39 yards for the Jayhawks.

Texas built a 13-0 halftime lead, scoring touchdowns on drives that covered 18 and 13 yards. Swoopes connected with tight end M.J. McFarland for a 1-yard touchdown pass for the first score just four plays after Shipley's 41-yard punt return and scored the second on a 7-yard run three plays after Thomas' first interception which put the ball at the Kansas 13 after the Jayhawks were flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at the end of his 24-yard return.

Kansas had a chance to cut into the lead when it drove to the Texas 5-yard line, but Thomas deflected a pass for Nigel King in the end zone on 4th-and-goal. Nick Ross, who earlier had missed a PAT and a 48-yard field goal, nailed a 42-yarder early in the fourth quarter to up the lead to 16-0 and Swoopes added a 16-yard touchdown pass to Harris with 3:04 remaining to conclude the scoring.
