LIVE Updates: Texas Longhorns at Kansas Jayhawks
LIVE Updates: Texas Longhorns at Kansas Jayhawks /
In this story:

The Kansas Jayhawks take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a bid to qualify for a bowl game and against a squad that is expected to be without many important pieces.

I'll be giving updates live from the stadium throughout the game here, so make sure you check back frequently. You can also follow live updates on the Rock Chalk Podcast and Blue Wings Rising Twitter accounts, and join the conversation in our Discord server.

5:43pm: I'm going to call this one here. All is not lost with this team, but this was clearly a very disappointing performance.

Plus, I'm kind of done with this:

Make sure you tune in to all of our coverage this week as we wrap this one and get ready for the Sunflower Showdown.

5:36pm: Another long touchdown run for Texas, and the fans on Twitter are getting restless...

5:25pm: Some positive plays for the offense, as Jalon Daniels finally hits a few passes and scrambles to get the touchdown.  At this point, it's all about working Daniels back in to the lineup.

5:17pm: Texas is still playing like this one is in doubt. Calling timeouts to yell at players.

5:08pm: The third quarter is over, and Kansas is down 41-7.

5:02pm: Kansas finally gets on the board on a 14 yard pass to Torry Locklin. But even the announcers have checked out of this one:

4:52pm: Texas methodically moves down the field, and only gets stopped when a false start penalty puts them behind the sticks. Texas settled for a field goal, and now it's 41-0 Texas.

4:40pm: Kansas gets a first down, and then gets to 4th and 2. The playcall is as predictable as they come and Kansas turns it over on downs.

4:34pm: Bijan Robinson out here making everyone look silly.

4:30pm: Not a great start to the half, as Kansas goes three and out and punts the ball.

4:06pm: Kansas ends the half on a sour note, with the called back touchdown being converted anyway on a Bijan hurdle over the line.

4:02pm: Texas is doing whatever they want offensively, as Kansas can't seem to stop Bijan Robinson. The only thing preventing another touchdown was that he stepped out just short of the goal line.

3:57pm: Unfortunately, there isn't a good option at QB for Kansas right now, especially if you are trying to make a huge comeback in the second half.

3:54pm: Jalon Daniels had a scramble drill pass tipped, and we have our first turnover of the game.

3:45pm: It was announced on the broadcast (and I agree as I looked at the replay) that there should not have been a penalty there. Then Texas scores a touchdown on the other side thanks to a corner being shoved to the ground to prevent an interception.

3:37pm: Just a brutal sequence. Kansas had a touchdown pass on 4th and 1 called back for an ineligible man downfield and then Jacob Borcila missed the 35-yard field goal.

3:30pm: The offense is starting to show some life after a couple good passes from Jalon Daniels.

3:26pm: First review of the day on a fairly nasty hit the helmet on Daniels after he threw the ball on a scramble. Tucker-Dorsey for Texas is ejected but there is no yardage gain.

3:20pm: Kansas holds the Longhorns to just a field goal, after getting helped by a Texas holding penalty. But that was more because Texas decided to do something they shouldn't have:

3:16pm: Add to the list of miscues for the Jayhawks, as they jump offsides and give Texas a first down on 4th and 4.

3:12pm: The first quarter is over, and the Jayhawks have picked up a whopping 44 yards. Texas has 146, with 104 of those on the ground.

3:05pm: Kansas finally got something going with multiple fourth downs, but a stuff on 3rd and 1 and then a pass in the flat to Tanaka Scott went nowhere.

2:58pm: Bijan again, running it in from 17 yards out this time. Kansas is down by two scores in the first quarter again.

2:56pm: Not sure that drive could have been any worse for Kansas. Logan misplayed the kick-off, and then Daniels missed another pass on 3rd down. Then the punt got returned to the KU 28.

2:51pm: It's going to be a long day if Kansas can't buckle up on defense

2:50pm: Not a great drive from the Kansas defense, as Texas ran the ball seemingly at will to get the touchdown

2:46pm: Up-tempo offense from Texas is not a good sign...

2:41pm: Three and out for Kansas after Jalon Daniels overshoot Quentin Skinner on the deep route. Looks like this is going to be a fun one today.

2:37pm: Jalon Daniels is indeed starting at quarterback. Shaky first pass that nearly turned into an immediate interception, but Luke Grimm gets it on the bobble.

2:35pm: Malcolm Lee stops the Texas drive by knocking down a Quinn Ewers pass at the line on third down.  Nothing going for Texas early.

2:30pm: Conflicting reports right now on who is starting at quarterback for the Jayhawks, as Jason Bean was announced as the starter during introductions, but Brett McMurphy is reporting the Jalon Daniels will be starting:
