After suffering a heartbreaking loss to No. 4 TCU in Week 11, Texas responded in a big way on Saturday by defeating Kansas 55-14.

Texas running back Bijan Robinson was the star of the show, rushing for 243 yards and four touchdowns in roughly three quarters of play. Fourth-string running back Jonathon Brooks also put together an impressive performance, accounting for 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns of his own.

The Longhorns once again looked solid defensively. Defensive back Anthony Cook and linebacker Jaylan Ford led the team in tackles. Pete Kwiatkowski certainly has his defensive unit trending upwards.

As far as Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades from the Texas-Kansas game, the top performer on offense was running back Bijan Robinson, while Alfred Collins held that honor on the defensive side. Take a look at which Longhorns graded well, and which ones were on the wrong end of the spectrum.
