Five takeaways from No. 3 Texas’ 40-14 win over No. 24 Kansas

Texas found new ways to win against Kansas ahead of its biggest conference game of the season.

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns dominated much of their game against the No. 24 Kansas Jayhawks. The score wouldn’t show it, but the total yards comparison reveals how lopsided was the game.

Texas out-gained Kansas 661 to 260 in total yards. Save for a 58-yard Kansas deep-shot and a fumble recovery turned touchdown from Kansas running back Daniel Hishaw, the Jayhawks didn’t get much going in the game. It was a welcomed strong performance ahead of what will be a tougher matchup than we anticipated this week.

The Longhorns looked like many among Texas faithful would want it to look ahead of its annual Red River Rivalry clash this week. Here are a few thoughts on how the game unfolded against Kansas in Austin on Saturday.
