The Texas Longhorns are 17-4 against Kansas all-time, but three of the last four matchups have been decided by a touchdown or less.

Do not sleep on Kansas. Seriously, the Jayhawks are one of those teams fans will mock heading into the stadium and instantly regret talking trash by the third quarter. Jalon Daniels' dual-threat persona makes this matchup intriguing. He's efficient at running RPO looks and options to keep Texas' front seven guessing early.
It’s hard imagining the Longhorns dropping a game in Austin, but this is a legitimate sleeping giant coming for blood. Give me the Horns by a score, but don’t expect this to be a cakewalk at DKR.Ten of Kansas' 11 starters on offense will be returning this upcoming 2023 season, which means that the Jayhawks should be more experienced and mature. The defense is their struggling point, however.
Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels can only take the Jayhawks so far, but defenses can make or break a ball game. Last season, the Longhorns took revenge from a November upset in 2021 with a 55-14 win over the Jayhawks in Lawrence. Expect a similar outcome this year in Austin.Quarterbacks Quinn Ewers and Jalon Daniels will likely be battling for Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2023 by season's end.
This still didn't stop Texas from marching into Lawrence this past fall and thrashing the team that was seen as an early-season darling. The Jayhawks will likely be a little ticked off after that blowout loss, and will have a healthy Jalon Daniels back in the fold. But this will only be enough to make it a closer finish in what will ultimately still be a win for the Longhorns.Copyright ABG-SI LLC. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED is a registered trademark of ABG-SI LLC.
