Horns down: Fans, media react to Texas' abysmal first-half showing vs. Kansas
Kansas gave a top-five ranked Oklahoma a headache a couple of weeks ago. The Jayhawks are now absolutely destroying Texas in just one-half of play.
After Kansas was able to jump to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, Texas was able to tie it up in the middle of the second quarter. That is when the fortunes of the Longhorns changed.
The final two and a half minutes have turned into an absolute nightmare for Texas. Quarterback Jalon Daniels was able to score on a nine-yard run to give Kansas the 21-14 lead. Texas, then, fumbled the ball to Kansas where it took them three plays and 21 seconds to find the end zone on a 19-yard pass from Daniels to running back Devin Neal. Finally, Texas quarterback Hudson Card threw a costly interception for another Kansas touchdown to give them a 35-14 lead.
Texas will get the ball first in the second half, but it is not looking good in Austin in the first season with Steve Sarkisian as head coach.
Now 28-14 Kansas. It is staggering to consider everything Texas hitched to Steve Sarkisian.

This is the most points Kansas has scored in a game since October 2019… it’s not even halftime https://t.co/k2Y96Uk4W3 pic.twitter.com/6oQMVxzCxI

Texas gives up three touchdowns in 85 seconds and now is getting blown out at home by Kansas, 35-14. Ouch.

Big 12 contacting SEC to ask if they’ll please take Texas & Oklahoma immediately. Like now.

Also: it's almost as if Bo Davis MFing the players didn't provide a tangible motivational boost.
