LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Border War is returning to college basketball.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already deep into his rehabilitation from a knee injury suffered in last week’s win in Denver, though coach Andy Reid is declining to put any timetable on the return of the reigning league MVP. In the meantime, Reid says, the Chiefs are preparing backup Matt Moore to start Sunday night’s showdown with the Green Bay Packers. Rookie quarterback Kyle Shurmur would serve as the backup.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Last year as a freshman, Brock Purdy was Iowa State’s third-string quarterback when he stepped on the field for his first meaningful action against Oklahoma State. He led the Cyclones to a big win. Now, Purdy is an established star for No. 23 Iowa State and neutralizing him will be a major challenge for Oklahoma State on Saturday.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — With its defense continuing to struggle, it will be up to Sam Ehlinger and the offense to carry No. 15 Texas the rest of the way. The Longhorns escaped a home loss to Kansas when Ehlinger drove the Longhorns to the winning field goal on the final play over the weekend. Coach Tom Herman says no one on his team is satisfied with the defensive performance as Kansas became the latest team to shred the Longhorns.

Ryan was injured during the first half of yesterday’s 37-10 loss to the Rams, causing backup Matt Schaub to finish the game.
