The Kansas Jayhawks welcome TCU in the Horned Frogs' Big 12 Conference debut this Saturday.

The Kansas Jayhawks open Big 12 play Saturday against the TCU Horned Frogs, conference newcomers playing in their first league game.

Reeling from a 25-24 loss to Rice, the Jayhawks will have home field to their advantage against the No. 16 Horned Frogs, which are coming off a 56-0 victory over Grambling State.

But after turning the ball over three times and losing the time of possession battle against Rice, Kansas won't be doing itself a favor if that trend continues against Gary Patterson's defense. The Horned Frogs (1-0) put up 531 total yards against an 0-2 Grambling squad, and TCU held their opponent to just 70 yards.

Kansas (1-1) will need to get better play out of quarterback Dayne Crist, who threw two interceptions against the Owls. His second pass was intercepted with 3:47 to play, and it set up the game-winning field goal for Rice.
