1938: The last time Kansas defeated Texas. The Jayhawks won the first two meetings between the schools but have dropped the past 11 games by an average of 29 points. Texas is 8-2 all time in its fourth game after starting the season 1-2.
1997: The only other time the Jayhawks faced Texas while sporting a better record than the Longhorns. Texas won that game 45-31. The Jayhawks are currently 2-1 while the Longhorns sit at 1-2.
38-15: The average score, in the Longhorns’ favor, of Texas’ series against Kansas. The average score of Texas’ five wins in Lawrence is 34-16.
1-2: This is the third time in school history Texas has started 1-2 in consecutive years. Last season, after starting off the season 1-2, the Longhorns defeated Kansas State 31-21 in their first of six straight wins.
2007: The last time the Longhorns dropped their conference opener, falling to Kansas State 41-21. Since the formation of the Big 12, Texas is 15-3 in conference openers.
