Texas Tech another heavy favorite | Pick Six | KUsports.com
Winless in the still young stages of the David Beaty coaching era, Kansas football will have to upset high-scoring Texas Tech on Saturday (11 a.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium) to put an end to the program’s eight-game losing streak, which dates back to last season’s victory over Iowa State.

Red Raiders should have easy time versus Jayhawks | Red Raiders
Kansas could pose a threat. But, it probably won’t. The Jayhawks’ most competitive game of the year came against South Dakota State. They lost because they fumbled the snap when they were trying to spike the ball and kick a field goal. This game shouldn’t be close. The Jayhawks may not win a game this season. If Texas Tech were to lose to them it would mean it plays its worst game of the season — think 15 or more penalties and at least three turnovers. That’s possible. But not likely.
