Kansas Jayhawks Seek Big 12 Win Hosting Cincinnati Bearcats

The Kansas Jayhawks football team is preparing to host the Cincinnati Bearcats in their second Big 12 conference game, aiming to start 2-0 in conference play after a dominant 41-10 win over West Virginia. Kansas, led by coach Lance Leipold, enters as a favorite with a strong running game highlighted by Iowa transfer Leshon Williams, who excelled in the previous game. However, the Jayhawks' defense faces a challenge containing Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby, known for his strong rushing ability. Cincinnati, aiming for their third consecutive win and led by a resilient team, is considered by Leipold as the best competition Kansas has faced this season. The game kickoff is set for 11 AM CT and will be broadcast on TNT, with an expected attendance of over 40,000 fans in Lawrence. Past matchups show a competitive history between the two teams, adding further intrigue to this Big 12 opener for Cincinnati.
