*****GAME THREAD: #3 Texas Longhorns vs. #24 Kansas Jayhawks*****

[HornSports Staff]

A pair of undefeated, ranked teams will face off against one another on Saturday at Darrell K. Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium, as the Texas Longhorns (4-0, 1-0) host the Kansas Jayhawks (4-0, 1-0).  Both have star quarterback in Quinn Ewers and Jalon Daniels, respectively, and both have defenses that have looked elite to this point in the season.  

Kansas has had success against the Longhorns over the last decade, winning once in Lawrence (2016) and shocking Steve Sarkisian and Longhorns with an upset win in OT the last time they played in Aust (2021).  Prior to that, the Jayhawks had not beaten the Longhorns since 1938.

Jayhawks head coach Lance Liepold has his program headed in the right direction and another upset win over the No. 3 Longhorns would be the biggest ever in Kansas football history.  The Texas defense will have its hands full defending Daniels, but they must limit big plays and contain him if they wish to avoid the upset.

The stakes are high in Austin for both teams and a win continues momentum.  For Texas, they would take an undefeated record into Dallas next weekend to face arch rival Oklahoma.  Kansas will host UCF in Lawrence next Saturday and would need one more win to become bowl eligible for the second straight season.

Kickoff will take place at 2:30 pm and the game will be shown regionally on ABC.

Hoping JT is ok. Looked like he got bent back on the last Brooks run.

Hello gents, sorry I'm late.

We need to blow this open in the 2nd because I have a feeling we'll see Mr Daniels in the 2nd half.

Why didn’t he start?

 

[texbound]

I'm not liking the run defense so far.  Looks like the RB is getting 3-4 yards down field before he is touched and he is breaking tackles.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Why didn’t he start?

Tightness in his back (back spasms)

 

[TexCoyote]

I guess they didn’t show the option on tape?

 

[TatumTXLonghorn]

Wow, How lucky.

 

[NEOkHorn]

Looking like we aren’t going to get many holding calls today. Big 12 officials suck even when we were in this conference.
