The Kansas Jayhawks suffered their 18th consecutive loss to K-State in the Sunflower Showdown, falling 35-24 on Saturday.

The game saw an early Kansas kick return touchdown, but offensive struggles and a critical mishandled snap leading to a safety allowed K-State to take an 18-17 halftime lead.
Kansas regained the lead early in the second half, but K-State responded with 17 unanswered points, securing the victory after an interception.
