There might not be a more surprising team in college football this season than the Kansas Jayhawks, who started their season 5-0. After losing three straight Big 12 games they got back on track last Saturday with a win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
In their matchup against last season, the Texas Tech Red Raiders made light work of the Jayhawks as they cruised to an easy 41-14 blowout victory. They outgained Kansas 438 yards to 273, having no trouble shutting down the offense.
One year later, though, and this is not the same Kansas team. If the Red Raiders aren’t careful, the Jayhawks could come into Lubbock on Saturday and hand them sixth loss of the season.
Here at RedRaiderReview.com, we will be providing an in-depth look this week at the Jayhawks’ roster ahead of their matchup against the Red Raiders.
