Five keys to the game for Texas vs. Kansas

Texas needs to get back to its identity on offense.

Steve Sarkisian and his Longhorns travel to Lawerence this weekend for a road matchup with Kansas.

Texas looks to eliminate the bitter taste left from its ugly offensive performance against TCU. Quinn Ewers and the Longhorns’ offense hope to get back on track after totaling less than 200 yards of offense in their biggest game of the season.

The Longhorns can not afford to play sloppy again this weekend. Texas should know how dangerous this Jayhawks squad is as they beat the Horns in overtime a year ago.

Kansas is enjoying one of its best seasons in recent history behind head coach Lance Leipold. Kansas has already reached bowl eligibility, entering this ballgame with a 6-4 record.

Texas must find a way to escape this pivotal road showdown with a victory to keep its season afloat. Big 12 title hopes are still on the table if Texas can win their final two games and get some outside help.

Here are five keys to the game for Texas vs. Kansas this Saturday.
