The Kansas Jayhawks are set to visit Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas for a Big 12 clash against the Texas Longhorns. The Kansas Jayhawks come into this matchup with a 2-4 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the Oklahoma Sooners, 45-20. QB Carter Stanley had a big game through the air as he connected on 18 of his 28 pass attempts for 230 yards and 3 TDs. WR Stephon Robinson Jr. was the top target for Stanley and the Jayhawks as he hauled in 5 catches for 131 yards and 2 TDs.

The Kansas Jayhawks struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Oklahoma Sooners as they allowed them to score 45 points and rack up a total of 545 yards of offense. Senior safety Bryce Torneden led the way for the Kansas defense with 6 tackles and 1 TFL. Senior LB Azur Kamara was able to pick up the lone sack of the game for the Jayhawks while senior LB Najee Stevens-McKenzie hauled in the lone interception of the game.

The Texas Longhorns come into his matchup with a 4-2 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent game against the Oklahoma Sooners, 34-27. QB Sam Ehlinger had a solid all-around game for the Longhorns as he threw for 210 yards while also adding in 2 rushing TDs. WR Collin Johnson was the leading receiver for Ehlinger and the Longhorns as he hauled in 6 catches for 82 yards while Devin Duvernay contributed 8 catches for 54 yards.

The Texas Longhorns struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Oklahoma Sooners as they allowed them to score 34 points and rack up a total of 511 yards of offense. Sophomore LB Joseph Ossai led the way for the Texas defense with 8 tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 pass deflection. Senior DB Brandon Jones had a productive game from the secondary as he contributed 5 tackles while also hauling in the lone interception of the game.

The home team has dominated the number when the Texas Longhorns and Kansas Jayhawks meet as they have covered the spread in 9 of their last 13 meetings. The Texas Longhorns were frustrated on the offensive side of the ball for most of the game against Oklahoma, but they have a chance to redeem their loss against one of the worst defenses in college football. Texas has one of the best QBs in Sam Ehlinger as he has shown the ability to destroy teams through the air with WR Colin Johnson, but he has also been very effective on the ground. Texas will look to amp the pressure up on a Kansas offense who is only scoring an average of 22.8 PPG this season, and they have the advantage of returning back to their home stadium. Final Score Prediction, Texas Longhorns win and cover ATS 45-17.
