STILLWATER, Okla. -- It was understandable when Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp noticeably sighed after Oklahoma State's last possession.

Texas maintained its 3-0 lead over the Cowboys when Hubert Anyiam dropped a potential touchdown pass at the Cowboys' end zone.

The pass was delivered by Zac Robinson despite extreme pressure by blitzing Texas safety Blake Gideon, who almost made a sack on the play. Robinson just got the ball away and hit Anyiam in the hands on a fourth-and-eight play.

Texas earlier had taken a 3-0 lead on Hunter Lawrence's 25-yard field goal, accounting for all of the scoring in the first quarter of what was expected to be an offensive shootout.

But not so far.

One other tidbit. Starting Texas cornerback Aaron Williams is icing his right knee on the sidelines and likely won't return to the lineup anytime soon.
