The Daily Lawrence team
If you're heading to David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium today, you'll see a Kansas team at 3-5 with little wiggle room for a bowl game. "We definitely want to make a bowl game," cornerback Roman Pearson said. The Jayhawks just squandered a 13-0 halftime lead in a 22-16 loss at TCU, even though they outgained the Horned Frogs 451-286.
UCF holds a one-win edge in the overall and Big 12 records
