This was arguably the easiest conference game on the schedule, and Kansas still failed to keep it even remotely competitive, dropping to 1-5 on the year, and 0-3 in Big 12 play.
It wasn't an avalanche out of the gate, for what that's worth. Tech did score a touchdown on their opening drive, but it was the 2nd quarter before they got onto the board again. Still, by halftime, the writing was on the wall that this wasn't going to end well. Tech put up 17 second half points to go into the break up 24-0, and the Jayhawks' offense had been competely ineffective against a Tech defense that had allowed 52 or more points in two of their last three games.
