AUSTIN, Texas — For the first time in the series between the Texas Longhorns and the Kansas Jayhawks, both teams are ranked as the No. 3 Longhorns host the No. 24 Jayhawks at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.
Both teams are undefeated and have their eyes set on Arlington in December in the home opener for head coach Steve Sarkisian’s program, which sets to avenge an overtime loss to Kansas and head coach Lance Leipold two years ago. In 2019, the Horns escaped with a 50-48 win against the Jayhawks — Texas hasn’t had a convinced victory against Kansas on the Forty Acres since a 42-27 win in 2017 that featured a 28-point first quarter by the home team.
