The 1916 Kansas Jayhawks football team was an American football team that represented the University of Kansas as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference during the 1916 college football season. In their second season under head coach Herman Olcott, the Jayhawks compiled a 4–3–1 record (1–2–1 against conference opponents), finished in fifth place in the MVIAA, and were outscored by a total of 72 to 68. The team's November 18 victory over Nebraska snapped a 34-game unbeaten streak for the Cornhuskers.[1][2] The Jayhawks played their home games at McCook Field in Lawrence, Kansas.
