Latest Preview (Week Recent)

Second-half offensive surge

After a sluggish first half with only 10 points, Kansas exploded for 28 points in the second half, driven by Jalon Daniels' four touchdown drives. The team established a strong running game, with Daniel Hishaw Jr. and Leshon Williams combining for two rushing touchdowns, showcasing balance and resilience.

Defensive and special teams improvements

Kansas' defense stepped up in the second half, forcing a three-and-out and blocking a field goal attempt just before halftime, which shifted momentum. The special teams unit also contributed by blocking a 19-yard field goal, preventing Oklahoma State from gaining points.

Bowl eligibility within reach

With the win, Kansas improved to 5-4 and needs just one more victory in their final three games (at Arizona, vs. Iowa State, vs. Utah) to become bowl eligible. This provides clear motivation and a tangible goal for the team moving forward.

Offensive line and running game key

The offensive line was praised by Daniels for their pivotal role, enabling the running backs to gain crucial yards. The second-half emphasis on the run game provided balance and allowed Kansas to control the clock and wear down the Oklahoma State defense.

Next opponent: Arizona Wildcats

Kansas travels to face Arizona next Saturday. Arizona's defense will need to contain Kansas' balanced attack, especially the improved running game. The Jayhawks will look to build on their second-half momentum and secure the win needed for bowl eligibility.
