          Texas starting defensive tackle Chris Nelson will miss Saturday's game against No. 13 West Virginia after rolling an ankle in practice Tuesday.

          Nelson has 23 tackles for the No. 17 Longhorns, along with five tackles for loss.

          Herman said junior Gerald Wilbon will start instead of Nelson. Wilbon came into the season with one career start.
