When the Kansas City Chiefs head to California for a Super Bowl LVIII rematch against the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas Jayhawks will take the defending champions’ place at Arrowhead Stadium to play their homecoming game against the Houston Cougars.
The Jayhawks have fallen well short of expectations to start their 2024 season, and are still reeling after a brutal 35-31 loss to Arizona State last week in Tempe.
Kansas will have the benefit of a bye week to assess the damage and make much-needed adjustments ahead of their matchup against the Cougars on October 19.
On Monday, Kansas Football’s official Twitter account announced the start time for the Jayhawks’ second game at Arrowhead:

Now halfway through the season, Kansas is desperately hoping to turn things around in search of their third-straight bowl game.
If speedy quarterback Jalon Daniels can avoid crucial turnover mistakes and running back Devin Neal can continue to perform at an elite level against Houston, the Jayhawks may be able to get out of Kansas City with a win.
