Texas sack leader Orakpo out vs. Baylor

 
Texas sack leader Brian Orakpo didn't play Saturday in the No. 5 Longhorns' game against Baylor because of a sprained left knee. The defensive end was injured in the 39-33 loss last Saturday at Texas Tech that knocked the Longhorns out of the No. 1 spot in the AP Poll and Bowl Championship Series standings. An MRI examination this week showed no ligament damage. Orakpo has nine sacks and 35 tackles (26 solo) this season with 15 for a loss. He has 14 sacks in his last 16 games. (link)
