KU loses to Cincinnati, 37-34, on last-minute touchdown

On a day when Kansas struggled in goal-to-go situations, the Jayhawks converted when it counted most, with a late touchdown pass from Jalon Daniels to Levi Wentz.

When the Kansas offense came on the field with 29 seconds left, needing to reach kicker Laith Marjan’s range some 40 yards away to have a chance at overtime, quarterback Jalon Daniels said the Jayhawks entered the huddle with a sense of “positivity.” “At the end of the day, we didn’t really care how much time was left,” Daniels said. “We felt like we were still going to be able to win the ...

Foster pursuing self-improvement ahead of tough Cincinnati matchup

Kansas center Bryce Foster doesn’t necessarily think he’s been playing poorly, just not quite up to his standard. The Jayhawks’ lone preseason all-conference pick this year, Foster concluded 2024 as the highest-graded qualifying player at his position in the Big 12 on Pro Football Focus with a score of 75.5. The same numbers this fall would substantiate his sense that he’s experienced a slight drop-off ...
