Texas' Roddrick Muckelroy sacks Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson on Saturday night.

The Longhorns, the nation’s top scoring team, have also scored six special teams touchdowns.

“I think that makes you an unusual team. We’ve never been able to do that,” Mack Brown said of the unconventional scores. “Our offense is getting better, our defense is continuing to score and we didn’t score on special teams tonight but we usually do.”

Robinson exceeded his interception total from the first seven games of the season and doubled the amount he’d ever had in a single game. He finished 15 for 28 for 143 yards and one touchdown, a meaningless 6-yard toss to Justin Blackmon after the Longhorns already had a 41-7 advantage.

“I think that’s the best defense I’ve faced probably in my career,” Robinson said. “They have a lot of speed and they just made some plays.”

For the second straight week, McCoy was able to spend most of the fourth quarter watching freshman Garrett Gilbert run the offense in a blowout.

His head coach even had to reason with offensive coordinator Greg Davis, who wanted to go for more and telling Brown, “Well, it’s there.”

“Yeah, everything else is, too, right now,” Mack Brown said.

The blowout was a rarity in a series that had seen Texas rally from deficits of 28, 21 and 19 points win in the previous five meetings. Brown moved to 12-0 against the Cowboys.

“This the first time we’d ever come up here and had not been behind. We didn’t know what to do at halftime,” he said.

Oklahoma State was in a gambling mood early on, going for it on fourth down three times in the first half and converting twice. But the Cowboys ended up with little to show for it. Anyiam, filling in for ineligible All-America receiver Dez Bryant, dropped a potential touchdown pass on OSU’s failed fourth-down try and Dan Bailey also missed a 45-yard field goal in the first half.

Anyiam also fumbled to set up the Texas offense for its first touchdown and a 10-0 lead — and it ended up being a sign of things to come.

Kendall Hunter, the Big 12’s leading rusher last season, returned after missing five weeks with an ankle injury but had just one rush for 1 yard.

“When you turn the ball over and make that many mistakes against a team that has got that much ability, it’s very difficult to win the game,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said.
