Kansas football fans — after seeing two straight wins — likely entered Saturday wondering whether these Jayhawks had a chance to fare better than past teams against Big 12 opponents.

KU’s offense had few bright moments, while the defense struggled to keep up with Baylor’s speed as the Bears took a 26-7 victory on Saturday at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas.
The Jayhawks, who were a single-digit road underdog (7 1/2 points) in a conference game for just the second time in their last 31 contests, were never truly competitive.
