First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams scoring evenly with 7 points each. The Jayhawks' quarterback Jalon Daniels showcased his passing skills early on, connecting with wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson for significant yardage. However, it was evident that both defenses were prepared as they limited further scoring opportunities.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Cincy took control by adding 13 points compared to KU's 6. Despite Daniels' efforts in maintaining offensive momentum through precise passes and strategic plays, including a long touchdown pass to Levi Wentz, turnovers began affecting their rhythm. The Hawks struggled with ball security as fumbles became an issue.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw a resurgence from KU as they outscored Cincy by putting up 14 points against their opponent's 10. Daniels continued his aerial assault with another touchdown pass to Boden Groen and kept pushing forward despite pressure from Cincy's defense which managed one sack during this period.


Fourth Quarter


Both teams matched each other again in the final quarter by scoring another set of touchdowns apiece (7 points each). A pivotal moment came when Blake Herold recorded a sack that temporarily halted Cincy's advance but ultimately wasn't enough for KU to regain control before time expired.


As part of our post-game report Kansas Jayhawks analysis: Jalon Daniels ended up throwing for an impressive total of 445 yards and four touchdowns without any interceptions—a testament to his accuracy under pressure despite facing challenges throughout all quarters.


Looking ahead at post-game thoughts Kansas Jayhawks will be traveling next week on October 4th at Acrisure Bounce House in Orlando where they'll face UCF Knights; fans can catch this game live on ESPN2 starting at approximately 7:30 PM EDT—mark your calendars!
