The Kansas Jayhawks lead the No. 23 Texas Longhorns, 14-7, after three quarters at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kan. Niether team has scored yet in the second half, with Texas faltering multiple times in the red zone.

Texas was threatening to tie the score early in the quarter and went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line, handing off to Joe Bergeron, but he was stuffed by the Kansas defense, turning the ball over on downs to KU.

With 2:40 left in the quarter, Texas quarterback David Ash threw his second interception of the game in the red zone, killing a scoring opportunity.

Kansas has 225 yards of total offense thus far, leading Texas who has 187 yards heading into the final quarter.

The Jayhawks have lost their last six games and come into today with a 1-6 overall record. They are last in the Big-12 at 0-4. Texas is 5-2 on the season, but currently sit sixth in the Big-12 at 2-2 with both loses coming to conference opponents.
