Another year, another Sunflower Showdown that should be just as lopsided as any other game in this series over the last decade. Kansas (1-7, 0-5) showed a lot of promise in their loss against Oklahoma, before squandering any potential to build off of that momentum in a 55-3 loss to Oklahoma State this last weekend. Meanwhile, Kansas State (5-3, 2-3) has been trending in the right direction after starting conference play 0-3, beating Texas Tech and TCU in back-to-back weeks. Those wins resulted in back-to-back firings of the opposing teams’ head coaches. While Kansas certainly won’t fire Lance Leipold with a loss here, there is very little hope for the Jayhawks in this one.
