AUSTIN, Texas — Colt McCoy set an NCAA record with his 43rd career victory as a starting quarterback, passing for 396 yards as No. 3 Texas wrapped up the Big 12 South title with a 51-20 victory Saturday night over Kansas and embattled coach Mark Mangino.
McCoy, playing his final home game, improved to 43-7 in his career as a starter, breaking the record he shared with former Georgia quarterback David Greene (2001-04).
Texas (11-0, 7-0) secured its first division title since 2005, with a Thanksgiving game at rival Texas A&M left to play before the Big 12 championship game Dec. 5 against Nebraska.
“I always love winning,” McCoy said. “I’m just so thankful. It’s really special.”
Kansas (5-6, 1-6) dropped its sixth straight game, adding to a miserable week and season for Mangino. Kansas officials have confirmed they are investigating Mangino over allegations of emotional and verbal abuse of his players, fueling speculation he may be fired.
The defeat only compounds Mangino’s troubles. The 2007 coach of the year is 50-47 in his eighth season and could still lead the Jayhawks to a third straight bowl game for the first time in school history with a win over Missouri this week.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Danario Alexander reached double digits in receptions for the third straight game and Jerrell Jackson had a career day as the Tigers (7-4, 3-4) snapped a three-game home losing streak.
Alexander had 11 catches for 173 yards and a 63-yard TD, breaking records for season and career yardage set by Jeremy Maclin last year. Jackson had eight receptions for 142 yards and a 70-yard TD.
The Cyclones (6-6, 3-5) allowed 539 total yards.
Texas Tech 41, Oklahoma 13
LUBBOCK, Texas — Taylor Potts threw for 388 yards and two touchdowns in the Red Raiders’ most lopsided win ever over the Sooners.
Baron Batch ran for 136 yards and two TDs for the Red Raiders (7-4, 4-3), who became bowl-eligible for the 16th straight season.
Oklahoma (6-5, 4-3) has its most losses since going 7-5 in 1999. It was just the fifth victory in 17 meetings for Texas Tech against the Sooners, and the Red Raiders had never won by more than 10 points in the series.
“I am really at a loss for words,” Sooners wide receiver Ryan Broyles said. “We really just got outplayed more than anything. It’s been a long season.”
Texas Tech’s Alex Torres had his best game of the season, finishing with 11 catches for 163 yards.
The Sooners’ pass defense came in at No. 18 in the nation (178 yards allowed per game) but couldn’t hold back Texas Tech’s passing offense, ranked second in the country.
“They executed and we didn’t,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.
Texas A&M 38, Baylor 3
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Freshman Christine Michael scored on a 97-yard run for the longest play from scrimmage in school history and the Aggies secured bowl eligibility with the easy win.
Texas A&M (6-5, 3-4) rushed for a season-high 375 yards against the Big 12’s worst run defense. Michael ran for 116 yards and Cyrus Gray ran for 107, the second time this season both backs topped 100 yards in a game, and Jerrod Johnson passed for 153 yards to set a single-season school record (2,875 yards).
Nick Florence completed 21-of-31 passes for 177 yards and two interceptions for the struggling Bears (4-7, 1-6).
