Against KU, Wagner will look for first-ever FBS win after past close calls

Since Aug. 31, 2012, Football Championship Subdivision teams have won 102 games against Football Bowl Subdivision counterparts, who have greater scholarship allocations and generally significantly better resources.

Rawls' interception demonstrated key defensive principle for KU

Kansas safety Lyrik Rawls wasn’t quite aware of how dramatic his interception looked on television. After all, he didn’t get the same slow-motion view as those watching at home when he was flying in at high speed toward Fresno State receiver Josiah Freeman. Rawls said he saw “the sky and the ground all in one second,” as he made his diving catch off a deflection. “I was flipping over, but I was ...

Jayhawks held to scoreless draw by Utah State

In its first road match of the year, the Kansas soccer team was held to a scoreless draw by Utah State on Sunday afternoon at the Chuck & Gloria Bell Soccer Field in Logan, Utah.

KU cruises past Fresno State for 31-7 season-opening victory

The Kansas football team may have been playing in a newly remodeled stadium on Saturday night, but it got a very familiar sort of performance from Jalon Daniels. The Jayhawks’ sixth-year quarterback was nearly perfect in the season opener against Fresno State, with more touchdown passes (three) than incompletions (two) as he went 18-for-20 for 173 yards, adding 47 more yards on the ground. It evoked the ...
