MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) – There was already plenty of competition for carries at Texas, where veteran running backs Johnathan Gray and Malcolm Brown have formed a potent one-two combination.

Now, the Longhorns are boasting a three-headed attack.

With the emergence of quarterback Tyrone Swoopes as a dangerous run-pass threat, Texas has a more diversified offense under Charlie Strong. And that’s giving Kansas State coach Bill Snyder plenty of reason to worry heading into Saturday’s showdown in Manhattan.

No. 11 Kansas State is 5-1, 3-0 and atop the Big 12. The Longhorns are 3-4, 2-2 in the conference and still looking for a signature win in Strong’s tenure.
