Games against Texas have made up a disproportionate amount of the very few highlights Kansas football has had during the dark years. The signature win of the David Beaty era came in Lawrence against the Longhorns in 2016, as Kansas pulled off a 24-21 victory. Despite KU’s tendency to get blown out by Big 12 competition during this era, Kansas has continued to play the Longhorns tough, losing a 50-48 battle in 2019, winning by just a touchdown in 2018, and if you want to go all the way back to the Charlie Weis era (obviously you don’t), Texas had to come from behind in the 4th quarter in 2012 to edge out KU 21-17.
