The 121st Sunflower Showdown goes down in Lawrence on Saturday with Kansas looking to snap the Wildcats 14-game winning streak in his rivalry. This is the ninth longest played rivalry game in FBS football and now the longest in KU program history – surpassing Kansas vs. Missouri’s 120 games played from 1891 to 2011. The series has been played every year since 1911, making it the fourth-longest active series in FBS and the second-longest in-state rivalry.

Kansas enters the game at 7-3, marking Kansas’ first winning season since 2008. Kansas’ seven wins in its first 10 games are the most in a season since 2007, when Kansas started 10-0.

Kick-off is set for six p.m. on FS1.
