? ROSTER REPORT:
? --S Blake Gideon suffered a head injury when he was flattened attempting to tackle Kansas RB Angus Quigley. Gideon left the game and was taken to a hospital, where tests were negative. He was replaced by S Christian Scott, who leveled Quigley with a big hit on the first play after Gideon left.
? --Several Texas defenders were not at full strength. CB Aaron Williams missed the game with the flu. DT Lamarr Houston played on a sore foot. And DE Brian Orakpo played just a few snaps as he continues to treat a sore knee. Houston and Orakpo are expected to heal in time for the Nov. 27 game against Texas A&M.
? --CB Chykie Brown returned against Kansas after missing the previous three games. Brown opened the Kansas game on special teams, but was summoned later on defense to account for injuries.
