Peyton Bender, Steven Sims discuss win over SEMO

After a 38-16 victory over Southeast Missouri State in the season opener Saturday, Kansas quarterback Peyton Bender and receiver Steven Sims Jr. discuss the positives and negatives of the offense’s first game.

Bender threw two touchdowns on KU’s first two drives, which helped set the tone for the rest of the night. The junior transfer threw for 364 yards and four touchdowns, along with two interceptions.

“It just nice to see us clicking as an offensive unit early out of the gate,” Bender said. “We just to get more consistent. We showed glimpses of how explosive we can be.”
