The wait is over, and Kansas football season is upon us. Per usual, the Jayhawks will start the 2022 campaign with a matchup against an FCS squad. This year's opponent, Tennessee Tech, won't be quite as competitive as some of KU's other lower division competitors in recent years, where KU has gone up against some tough teams from the Missouri Valley, one of the toughest conferences in FCS. Tech, rather, comes from the Ohio Valley, because apparently FCS conferences must be named after midwestern rivers.
Last year, the Golden Eagles went 3-8 in their campaign, finishing 1-5 in conference play.
