Texas’ Bijan Robinson was named Big 12 offensive player of the week. Robinson rushed for a career-high 243 yards on 25 carries (9.7 ypc!) and a career-best four touchdowns in the Longhorns 55-14 road victory over Kansas. This was Robinson’s eighth 100-yard rushing game in the last nine contests and second of 200 in the last three.

After this performance, Robinson has rushed for a touchdown in nine of 11 games this year and is now tied for fifth on Texas' all-time rushing list with 3,231 yards. In the game against Kansas, Robinson scored four of Texas’ first five touchdowns attributing to (at that time) Texas’ early second half 38-0 lead. Robinson’s 243 rushing yards were the 16th-most in a game in Texas Football history. Over the last two years Texas is 5-1 when Bijan Robinson has at least 22 rushing attempts in a game.  

Texas will play their last regular season game of 2022 this coming Friday in Austin against the Baylor Bears. Game will kick off at 11:00 am (CT).
