Kansas Jayhawks VS Baylor Bears

The home team's performance was highlighted by their rushing efforts, which accounted for 161 yards over 35 attempts, averaging about five yards per carry. Their longest rush of the day reached 20 yards. However, they were unable to convert this effort into touchdowns on the ground. The Jayhawks' passing game saw them complete half of their attempts for a total of 119 yards and one touchdown pass that covered a distance of eleven yards.


Special teams had an active day with six punts totaling 288 yards; one punt soared as far as seventy-three yards and three landed inside the twenty-yard line. In terms of kickoffs, there were two totaling one hundred twenty-six yards with one resulting in a touchback.


Defensively, the Jayhawks managed to sack Baylor's quarterback once for thirteen lost yardage and recorded an interception without return yardage. They also forced five tackles for loss among their fifty-seven combined tackles but could not prevent the Bears from scoring heavily throughout all four quarters.


On offense, penalties did not significantly hinder either team's progress with only one penalty against Kansas costing them fifteen yards. The efficiency on critical downs was lacking for Kansas; they succeeded on only three out of fifteen third-down attempts and converted two out of four fourth-down opportunities.


Despite these efforts by Kansas players across different facets of the game – rushing, passing defense – it was not enough to overcome Baylor's dominant sixty-one points scored during this encounter.

Broadcast details will be shared closer to each upcoming event as supporters continue to follow their team through this season’s college football journey.
