Texas vs. Kansas Football: Everything You Need To Know

The Texas Longhorns are looking to get back on track after a 24-0 loss to Iowa State last week. They have a perfect opportunity to do that this week.

The hapless Kansas Jayhawks will limp into Austin this week, 0-8 and fresh off of a 62-7 drubbing at the hands of Oklahoma. Kansas hasn’t won a football game period since November 8 of last year.

Texas, meanwhile, needs this win desperately to keep its bowl game hopes alive.
