The Kansas football team did not start the season in the most glamorous possible form with a six-point first quarter against FCS Long Island, before the Jayhawks settled for a field goal early in the second. But as head coach Lance Leipold pointed out afterward, it’s hard to take too much issue with a game in which his team never punted — depriving newly acquired Australian freshman Matt Gill, it must be ...
Lawrence Arnold’s 782 receiving yards in 2023 are still the high-water mark for a Kansas receiver since Lance Leipold took over as head coach. If Nik McMillan wants to reset that record this year, he’s off to a roaring start. The Buffalo transfer, who cleared the 100-yard mark in six consecutive games to close out last season with the Bulls, continued in his usual form with six catches for 130 yards and the ...
It didn’t take Isaiah Marshall long on Friday night to improve on his career totals of three pass completions for 28 yards. Kansas’ new starting quarterback, a redshirt sophomore from Southfield, Michigan, hit receivers downfield for 46- and 47-yard connections in the first half of his 2026 debut.

They also benefited from 16 service errors by ...

The Sharks, who play at the FCS level, went behind 42-0 by halftime against North Dakota in their Week 0 opener. But the Fighting Hawks have done that sort of thing to a fair number of teams over the years. What really stood ...
When Kansas fans enter David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium on Friday night for the Jayhawks' season opener against Long Island — especially if they are doing so through the eastern part of the venue — it will once again have a new look. KU will be playing with reduced capacity this season before a maximum of approximately 32,000 fans. That's because while the school has successfully installed a south-end ...
