Syndication: Austin American-Statesman - Source: Imagn

The third-ranked Texas Longhorns defended DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Week 13 against the Kentucky Wildcats 31-14. The game was decided by the running attack as Texas moved the chains consistently.

The Longhorns (10-1, 6-1) remain in the top spot in the SEC heading into next week’s massive game against Texas A&M. Wide receiver Gunnar Helm had a pair of touchdowns to lead the way for Texas.

The Wildcats (4-7, 1-7 SEC) officially cannot make a bowl game unless they are selected as an alternate, for which they would need to win next week.
