Playing with its backup quarterback Jason Bean, and entering as a home underdog against Big 12 Conference newcomer UCF, the Kansas football team dominated in all three phases from the opening whistle on its way to a resounding 51-22 victory. KU ran for 399 yards and five touchdowns, as the Knights couldn’t do anything to stop either Devin Neal, Daniel Hishaw Jr. or Dylan McDuffie. Bean was only needed for 12 ...
Last week at Texas, the Kansas offense was disjointed, inconsistent and as head coach Lance Leipold put it, "non-rhythmatic." This week against UCF, the Jayhawks were back to their usual selves: workmanlike, efficient, yet still dynamic. And they were unified behind a single goal: running the football as much as they could.

However dispiriting it was for Kansas to lose at Texas without its starting quarterback, giving up 20 straight points after hanging around against the third-ranked Longhorns for nearly three quarters, what UCF went through last Saturday was by any measure far more demoralizing.

And while the formula may have been familiar to many of the attendees, it was new to six scholarship players and three walk-ons on the ...
The 17th-ranked Kansas volleyball team saw its momentum in Big 12 Conference play halted this week after a pair of road losses to No. 8 Texas. The Longhorns beat the Jayhawks 3-1 Thursday, and there would be no second-day resurgence for KU this week, as it fell in a sweep to Texas Friday night. The Jayhawks will host Oklahoma for a single match on the afternoon of Oct. 14. Match 1 A second-set surge that saw ...
