Texas Sticking 2ith Ash as No. 1 QB 10/31/12

AUSTIN, Texas (AP)
The Texas Longhorns are sticking with David Ash as starting quarterback.
Ash was replaced by Case McCoy late against Kansas and McCoy drove the
Longhorns to the game-winning touchdown in a 21-17 win. But coach Mack Brown
says Ash will still be the starter when the Longhorns (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) travel
this week to play at No. 20 Texas Tech (6-2, 3-2).
Ash has been one of the highest-rated passers in the country with 1,726
yards and 12 touchdowns. But Ash has thrown only one touchdown in the last three
games.
McCoy relieved Ash against Kansas with the Longhorns trailing 14-7 in the
fourth quarter and took every snap on two touchdown drives. His touchdown pass
to D.J. Grant with 12 seconds left was the game winner.
