**1 – Dorance Armstrong:** Easily best player on the field in the first half, when he had two sacks, a forced fumble and had a fumble recovery he returned seven yards. Finished day with three tackles for loss and was in on 11 tackles, nine solos. If Texas had recruited Houston native him, the Longhorns would have won the game, just as if Texas had recruited Austin native Kelsie Payne, KU would not have clinched its first Big 12 volleyball championship Saturday.
**2 – Steven Sims:** Had a couple of clutch catches on KU’s fourth-quarter scoring drive and ran a two-point conversion in on a reverse, a play on which he had the option to pass and made the right call. Caught seven passes for 74 yards. But his best play of the day, a game-saver, came when he ripped a would-be interception out of the defender’s hands in the end zone.
**3 – Brandon Stewart:** Returned an interception 55 yards for a touchdown and broke up two more passes, one of which he nearly picked off. Having strong senior season.
**4 – Daniel Wise:** Battling injuries, he didn’t let it slow him down and was at his active best with three tackles for loss, two sacks, four solo tackles and five overall.
**5 – Ke’aun Kinner:** Rushed for 69 yards and totaled 68 yards in receptions.
**6 – Mike Lee:** Had 11 solo tackles and a huge interception in overtime.
**7 – Fish Smithson:** Missed a tackle that led to 75-yard touchdown on first play of game, but compensated with strong day. Intercepted a pass and returned it five yards and one of his 10 solo tackles took place behind the line of scrimmage. Saved a touchdown when he dragged D’Onta Foreman to the ground by himself.
**8 – Keith Loneker:** In on 16 tackles, 11 of the solo variety. Many of his first-half tackles came close to the line of scrimmage.
**9 – Carter Stanley:** Sparked the offense with a 21-yard run and delivered in the clutch late after a so-so passing day most of the afternoon. A gamer, he was better than his stats: 21 for 42, one interception, 220 yards.
**10 – Matthew Wyman:** Made a pair of 36-yard field goals, the second with seven seconds left to force overtime, then won it with a 25-yard three-pointer in OT. Texas called a timeout to ice him, at which point he said he repeated his mantra in his head: “When I look up, I (deleted) up.”
