The Kansas football team will try to bounce back this week with a win against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are winless in their last five Big 12 games and 1-7 overall. KU is 2-3 in conference play and 4-4 total.
The Jayhawks are licking their wounds after they were dismantled by their in-state rivals in the Sunflower Showdown. K-State crushed KU, beating them 42-17, in a game that wasn’t even that close.
Kansas is in a must-win situation against Oklahoma State if it wants to hold onto any hope of making a bowl game this season. Even if KU wins against OSU as they should, it will still have to salvage one more win among the remaining games against quality opponents.
Losing to Kansas State for the 17th consecutive season was a crushing blow of reality for Kansas. It was yet another sigh that the Jayhawks still have a ways to go before they are consistently competitive against the better schools in the Big 12.
