Eight-game losing streak. A conference road losing streak since 2008 covering 56 straight Big 12 games. One of the worst programs in the country.
Despite all the mediocrity for the Kansas Jayhawks since the heights of Mark Magino era, head coach Lance Leipold’s team came into Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday evening and defeated the Texas Longhorns, 57-56, on a scrambling throw from backup quarterback Jalon Daniels in overtime to convert the game-ending two-point attempt.
Under first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian, the Longhorns now have the program’s first five-game losing streak since 1956, when Texas went 1-9 under Edwin Price, whose termination following the season led to the hire of Darrell K Royal.
