*****Texas vs. Kansas Game Thread*****

[Aaron Carrara]

Texas and Kansas will meet for the seventeenth time in history on Saturday evening at Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.  Kansas shocked the Longhorns last season, beating Charlie Strong’s team 24-21 in overtime, which registered as KU’s first win over an FBS team in two years.

The Longhorns are lost 24-7 to Big 12 rival TCU last week while the Jayhawks extended their losing streak to eight games after losing to Baylor 38-9.  With three games left to play Texas needs two more wins to become bowl eligible, while Kansas is in desperate need of win #2 on the season.

Pregame Statistics

 

[Baron]

Texas needs a San Jose St type blowout for me to feel a bit easier about a bowl game going forward.

 

[TexCoyote]

Time for us to run the table starting today. All remaining games are winnable. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Sam Ehlinger is suited up and going thru warmups today. 

 

[HORNfromETX]

Sadly I won't be able to watch the game live, but will be keeping up on here and using other apps. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Connor Williams is suited up tonight. Not sure what the plan is for him though. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Chris Warren is apparently warming up with the tight ends. Another interesting development. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Josh Thompson was announced as the starter in place of the suspended Holton Hill.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Nickleson, Vahe, Shackleford, McMillon  and Kerstetter were listed as the starters on the line but they said Cuney's name as Center.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Also expect Mitchell Becker to replace Josh Rowland as the place kicker. We heard earlier in the week Becker was getting more reps in practice.

Chris Warren is apparently warming up with the tight ends. Another interesting development. 

Thats an interesting development.  It' obvious he needs to find a different position if he wants to play at the next level.  I would've guessed possible DE candidate, but Warren can catch the ball very well.  Not sure on his route running ability.

Connor Williams is suited up tonight. Not sure what the plan is for him though. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Kansas wins the toss and defers. Texas will get the ball first. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Kansas wins coin toss and will defer to second half.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

We're on wavelength, Daniel.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

KU tried to catch Texas napping on the opening kick with an onside kick. 

First play is BUECHELE UP TOP TO JOE! Touchdown Texas! 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Max protection from Texas there. Gave Shane time to step into that one. Easy money. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

First play on offense goes 49 yards for a TD. Buechele ----> Lorenzo Joe.

TEXAS 7, KU 0

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Hager being offsides negates an Omenihu sack.
