No. 18 Texas heads to Kansas State looking for rare win
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Collin Johnson is one of handful of players on the Texas two-deep roster that recalls playing at Kansas State two years ago, when the Longhorns suffered the latest in a long string of disappointments.

Focus on roughing the passer giving NFL a black eye
The NFL is getting roughed up over its amplified enforcement of roughing-the-passer penalties that has generated head-scratching calls - and a season-ending injury to a defender trying to comply with the league's mandate not to land fully on the quarterback.
