Jalon Daniels stood near the end zone staring at his right hand. The pinky unfurled first, then the ring finger, the middle and the index. One. Two. Three. Four. He was counting touchdown passes, but he might as well have been counting victories. Kansas' junior quarterback threw for career highs of 324 yards and four touchdowns on Saturday in a 35-27 win against Duke in front of a sellout crowd at David Booth ...
The excitement surrounding the Kansas football team is unlike anything Taiwan Berryhill Jr. has experienced. Berryhill, a junior linebacker from New Orleans, was a freshman in 2020 when the Jayhawks went 0-9. There wasn't much to celebrate last season, either, when they went 2-10 under first-year coach Lance Leipold. But amid their first 3-0 start in 13 years, Berryhill and the Jayhawks will return to David ...
HOUSTON — The jubilation and exhilaration wafting through the visitors' locker room reverberated 40 yards down a cinder block hallway and could not be contained.

"A year ago, some of those would have gotten away from us at halftime — by halftime," coach ...
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Cobee Bryant didn't care that nearly everyone on Kansas' sideline was yelling at him to down the football and end the game. The sophomore cornerback saw the end zone and couldn't stop. "I wanted to score, to be honest," Bryant said after his interception in overtime, which he returned 86 yards for a touchdown, gave the Jayhawks a 55-42 win at West Virginia. "I wanted the pick six.
