Jason Bean was hit and injured. He made an attempt to come back in at the start of the second quarter, but he was ruled out shortly after. The keys to the offense then went to true freshman walk-on Cole Ballard.
After the game, head coach Lance Leipold said the Bean suffered a head injury.
Another three-and-out by the Tech defense followed another good drive for the offense. The only downside was a holding call wiped out Brooks' second touchdown, but Gino Garcia converted the field goal to make it 10-0 with 3:26 left in the quarter.
Through two drives, Brooks had 70 yards. The Jayhawks had two.
Texas Tech. And while it’s unclear what Bean’s status is moving forward, that might mean the fate of Kansas’ season rests on the shoulders of Ballard — who, if all went well for the Jayhawks, would have never played a meaningful snap this season.
Not only did both teams in this Saturday's match win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. Going forward, Kansas is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a four game streak of covering the spread when playing at home.
Texas Tech strolled past Kansas in their previous matchup back in November of 2022 by a score of 43-28. The rematch might be a little tougher for Texas Tech since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
Lawrence Arnold didn’t connect, as Kansas fell 16-13.
Ballard finished 9 of 20 passing for 124 yards and an interception. Bean finished 1 of 4 passing for 13 yards.
Neal picked up 137 yards rushing with a touchdown. O.J. Burroughs recorded an interception.
The loss moves the No. 16-ranked Jayhawks to 7-3, 4-3 in the Big 12. Next up for Kansas is hosting the Sunflower Showdown on Saturday, Nov. 18.
