CFB: McCoy gets record, Texas wins Big 12 South 51-20

AUSTIN, Texas — Colt McCoy set an NCAA record with his 43rd career victory as a starter, passing for 396 yards as No. 3 Texas wrapped up the Big 12 South title with a 51-20 victory Saturday night over a Kansas and embattled coach Mark Mangino.

McCoy is 43-7 in his career, breaking the wins record he shared with former Georgia quarterback David Greene (2001-2004).

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 on Dec. 5.

McCoy threw four touchdown passes, two to James Kirkendoll.

Kansas (5-6, 1-6) dropped its sixth straight, compounding a miserable week and season for Mangino. University officials have confirmed they are investigating Mangino over allegations of emotional and verbal abuse of players, fueling speculation he may be fired.
