This year’s road trip to Reno, Nevada, presents a momentary obstacle for Kansas football coach Lance Leipold and his staff, but the broader issue of managing visits to West Coast destinations will persist — and even intensify. The Jayhawks have games scheduled at Washington State in 2027, even farther west at Hawaii in 2028 and at Fresno State in 2029, all of which require crossing multiple time zones for ...
Targeting suspensions and nagging injuries are making for a depleted Kansas football roster ahead of Saturday night’s road game. Starting cornerback Cobee Bryant and promising rotational defensive end Austin Booker will both miss the first half at Nevada on Saturday because they were flagged for targeting — essentially, going after an opposing player with forcible contact more violent than a legal tackle ...

Reigning Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week Camryn Turner racked up 53 assists against the Shockers and 33 more against the ...
Kansas somehow found a way to have both Jason Bean and Jalon Daniels start Friday night, an unusual but fitting development following the last month of speculation about Daniels’ back injury. In an extremely on-brand wrinkle from offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, Daniels came out in the shotgun with Bean at his side, faked a handoff to his fellow quarterback and hit Lawrence Arnold for his first ...
