Jayhawks Fall to Texas Tech

jayhawkLUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Backup quarterback Nic Shimonek threw for four touchdowns and 271 yards to lead Texas Texas past Kansas 55-19 Thursday night in each team’s Big 12 opener.

Shimonek came in after starter Patrick Mahomes, who also threw for four TDs, got injured in the third quarter.

Mahomes, who threw for 277 yards and had one interception, left the game after a 32-yard run that ended with him going down hard on his right shoulder. After being checked briefly on the sideline, he tried to throw one pass before going into the locker room for further evaluation.

The defeat for Kansas (1-3) made it 40 straight losses in games away from Lawrence, Kansas.
