In a game Kansas never wins, yet had won, yet then let slip away, the Jayhawks somehow regrouped and claimed their biggest victory in 13 years on a pass from a quarterback making his first start of 2021 to a freshman fullback who had not yet recorded a single college statistic.
Jalon Daniels threw a two-point conversion pass and Jared Casey caught it, and for the first time ever Kansas left Austin with a victory over Texas, 57–56 in overtime. The Jayhawks, 31-point underdogs, handed the Longhorns their fifth straight loss— something that last happened in 1956.
