The No. 3 Texas Longhorns continue to thrive in the third year of the Steve Sarkisian era and have an opportunity to avenge one of the big embarrassments from his first year, a home loss to an ascendant Kansas Jayhawks team in 2021.
Two seasons ago, the game was a coming-out party for the Jayhawks under new head coach Lance Leipold and quarterback Jalon Daniels, who have become some of the top names at their respective jobs in the Big 12. Since that win, Kansas has gone to its first bowl game since 2008 and is on its second-consecutive 4-0 start for the first time since the 1914 season.
