TRADITIONS

“You come to KU for the tradition, and you leave a part of it.” DANNY MANNING

Hail to Old KU!

The University of Kansas is the home of the Jayhawk, a mythical bird with a fascinating history. Its origin is rooted in the historic struggles of Kansas settlers. The term “Jayhawk” was probably coined about 1848. Accounts of its use appeared from Illinois to Texas. The name combines two birds - the blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter.

INTRODUCTION

1. THE NICKNAME: JAYHAWK

2. THE ALMA MATER

4. THE K RING

The K Ring symbolizes a uniquely shared experience between generations of varsity letterwinners at the University of Kansas. As a Jayhawk you are expected to uphold tradition and retain the characteristics of a champion while continuing the create your own legacy.

5. WAVING THE WHEAT

“Give the world the best you’ve got and the best will come back to you.” PHOG ALLEN

Since the early days of KU sports, it has been a ritual of Jayhawk fans to “wave the wheat” following every Kansas scoring drive in football. The tradition also extends to Allen Fieldhouse where fans “wave the wheat” when an opponent fouls out and at the conclusion of every Jayhawk victory. The ritual consists of fans waving their arms in the air, an activity which, when done by a large crowd, resembles a breezy Kansas wheat field.

6. THE ROCK CHALK CHANT The Rock Chalk Chant has been the battle cry of KU fans for more than 80 years. This strange, traditional chant, which is among the most famous of all college cheers, was started by E.H.S. Bailey, a professor of chemistry. On May 21, 1886, Bailey submitted the cheer to his club.

J A Y H A W K

Campanile Hill forms the picturesque backdrop for David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. On a sunny fall Saturday, the “Hill” is transformed into a congregating place for watching Jayhawk football, sunning and barbequing. Potter Lake, just to the southwest of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium and at the bottom of Campanile Hill, adds to the beauty of the Kansas campus.

R O C K

In 1891, professor George Barlow Penny searched for a school song for the Glee and Mandolin Club to sing on its tour through Kansas to Denver and back. No one responded with an original song in answer to his appeals. Just before departure, he thought of the Cornell song “Far Above Cayuga’s Waters.” Hastily changing a few words, he gave it to the glee club men to sing on the trip. He did not expect the song to be used after their return, but “Crimson and the Blue” still goes on. The music is not Cornell’s but an old English folk tune, “Annie Lisle.”

The university has more than 40 nationally ranked academic programs and is home to major centers overseeing research in life span issues, the humanities, the environment, biodiversity, and polar ice sheets.

F OOTB A L L David Beaty, who is now in his fourth season as the head coach at the University of Kansas, took the reins of the KU football program Dec. 5, 2014, with more than 20 years of coaching experience, including two previous stints as an assistant coach with the Jayhawks. In 2017, Beaty and his staff produced eight All-Big 12 players, including first-team defensive tackle Daniel Wise. Additionally, linebacker Joe Dineen Jr., became Kansas’ first Sports Illustrated Second Team All-American since Aqib Talib in 2007. Dineen led the nation in solo tackles with 7.8 per contest. He set a new KU single-season record with 25.0 tackles-forloss, which ranked third in the NCAA and tops in the Big 12. His 137 total tackles also ranked third nationally and led the conference.

The 2017 Kansas offense featured wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., who turned in the second-best single-game receiving performance in KU history and the seventh-best in the NCAA in 2017 with his ninecatch, 233-yard game against K-State. Running back Khalil Herbert also exploded for a 291-yard rushing game against West Virginia--the third-best singlegame rushing performance in KU history and thirdbest in the NCAA in 2017.

In his second season at the helm Beaty engineered a late-November overtime victory over Texas – the program’s first win against the Longhorns since 1938. Following the season, league coaches voted 11 Jayhawks to an All-Big 12 Conference team, the most since 2007 when 14 players were honored from the record-breaking 12-1 Orange Bowl champions. Senior safety Fish Smithson and sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr., received First Team honors, while Armstrong became Kansas’ only unanimous AllBig 12 First Team selection since the league’s inception in 1996. A native of Garland, Texas, Beaty came back to KU after spending the three previous seasons as the Texas A&M wide receivers coach, where he also coordinated all the recruiting efforts during the 2013-14 seasons. Under Beaty’s tutelage, the Aggies’ wide receivers were a record-setting group. With first-team AllAmerican Mike Evans leading the way in 2013, the Aggies set team records for receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and completion percentage. Evans set the A&M record with 1,394 receiving yards and matched the receiving touchdowns record with 12. He also shattered and re-broke the single-game receiving record with 279 yards vs. Alabama and 287 yards against Auburn. Evans went on to become the Aggies’

first wide receiver to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. Texas A&M was the only team in the nation with four 50-catch, 600-yard receivers in 2013. In 2012, the Aggies had six wideouts who produced 19 or more catches, including more than 70 each by senior Ryan Swope and Evans. Beaty went to Texas A&M after serving as offensive coordinator at both Kansas and Rice. Beaty spent the 2010 season as the offensive coordinator at Rice, where he helped the team average 28.7 points and 375.3 yards per game. Prior to his second stint at Rice, Beaty was the wide receivers coach at Kansas during the 2008 and 2009 seasons. During his first tour at KU, Beaty helped receivers Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe develop into NFL-caliber players. Meier, who was taken in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL Draft, received All-Big 12 accolades in 2008 and 2009, while Briscoe, a sixth-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, was an All-American and All-Big 12 First Team pick in 2009. In 2008, five different KU players produced a total of 15 100-yard receiving games. Among the school records set by KU wide receivers in 2008 were season receptions, game receptions, season yards, game yards, and season touchdowns.

Beaty spent the 2006 and 2007 seasons as the wide receivers coach at Rice. In 2006 he served as passing game coordinator as the team made its first bowl game in 45 years (the New Orleans Bowl). He had two players - Jarett Dillard and James Casey - drafted by NFL teams following the 2007 season. Dillard ranked in the top-25 nationally in both receptions and yards in 2007, and he led the nation in touchdown receptions (21) in 2006. Beaty is a 1994 graduate of Lindenwood (St. Charles, Mo.) College, where he played football and served as a team captain from 1992-93. He was a four-year starter at wide receiver and led the team in receptions for three-straight seasons. He played both football and soccer at Garland (Texas) High School where he graduated in 1989.

Bowen was tabbed as the Jayhawks’ interim head coach on Sept. 28, 2014, posting a 1-7 mark while guiding KU through the remainder of the 2014 campaign. He had previously served as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach in 2012, before moving over to coaching the linebackers in January of 2013, then adding the title of defensive coordinator in December of 2013.

MEACHAM Second Season • Offensive Coordinator• Oklahoma State, 1988

“I am thrilled to be adding someone of the caliber of Doug Meacham to our staff. Doug is someone I have admired for quite some time for his creativity on the offensive side of the ball. I have had to go up against him several times and it was always a huge challenge because of his ability to direct an offense. I am incredibly thankful to have him on our staff moving forward.” Head coach David Beaty

Meacham was instrumental in establishing a record-setting offense at Samford. He directed an attack in 2004 that set several school records, including passing yards (2,986), pass completions (256) and completion percentage (59.8).

Meacham was a 2014 finalist for the Broyles Award, recognizing the nation’s top assistant coach.

Prior to Samford, Meacham worked the same kind of magic at Henderson State, where he was offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. During the 2000 season, Meacham coached an offense that broke two Division II national passing and receiving records, four Gulf South Conference marks and nine school passing and receiving records.

Meacham went to the Horned Frogs after serving as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Houston for the 2013 season. Kansas marks the sixth school at which Meacham has been an offensive coordinator. In addition to his roles at TCU and Houston, Meacham coordinated offenses at Samford (2002-04), Henderson State (1999-2000), Jacksonville State (1997-98) and Georgia Military (1994-96).

During his playing days at Oklahoma State, Meacham was on teams that participated in four bowl games (1983 Bluebonnet, 1984 Gator, 1985 Gator and 1987 Sun). He was a three-year starter on the offensive line for the Cowboys and had a string of 35-consecutive starts. During his Oklahoma State playing career, the Cowboys put together an overall record of 34-9.

Meacham coached 2012 All-Big 12 First Team receiver Josh Stewart into one of the best sophomore seasons in OSU history with 101 catches for 1,210 yards and seven touchdowns. Stewart’s 101 receptions were the fourth-most in school history and his 1,210 receiving yards trailed only Justin Blackmon and Dez Bryant on the all-time OSU list for sophomore wideouts.

Meacham earned All-Big Eight honors and was an honorable mention All-American as a senior. He was a captain of the 1987 Sun Bowl team that defeated West Virginia. Meacham blocked for both 1988 Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders and two-time Big Eight Player of the Year Thurman Thomas.

Inside receiver Josh Cooper and tight end Brandon Pettigrew were among other OSU standouts coached directly by Meacham.

In high school, Meacham was a three-year starter and two-time alldistrict selection in football at Arlington’s Sam Houston High School. Meacham is married to the former Kendall Deas and they have three children: Peyton, Cole and Brooks.

In his first season at KU, Meacham’s offense had three players garner All-Big 12 honors in tight end Ben Johnson, wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., and offensive lineman Hakeem Adeniji. Sims turned in the second-best single-game receiving performance in Kansas history and the seventh-best in the NCAA in 2017 with his nine-catch ,233-yard game against K-State. Running back Khalil Herbert also exploded for a 291-yard rushing game against West Virginia--the third-best single-game rushing performance in KU history and thirdbest in the NCAA in 2017. Meacham arrived in Lawrence after spending the previous three seasons at TCU where he served as the co-offensive coordinator while mentoring the Horned Frog inside receivers. In each of his three seasons, the Horned Frogs’ offensive attack ranked among the nation’s best. Despite replacing a Heisman candidate in quarterback Trevone Boykin in 2016, the TCU offense averaged 31 points per game while ranking 29th nationally in total offense with 463.2 yards per game. In 2015, for the second-straight year, TCU set single-season school records in several major statistical categories. Additionally, the Horned Frogs ranked third nationally in total offense (562.8 yards per game) and seventh in scoring (42.1 points per game). In his first season at TCU, 2014, Meacham helped the Horned Frogs become the nation’s most improved offense in total yards (+188.2 ypg) and scoring (+21.4 ppg). TCU’s 21.4 points per game improvement broke the Big 12 record of 19.1 set by Oklahoma in 1999 (35.8; 16.7, 1998) and was the largest increase by any team since Northwestern improved 24 points between 1999-2000.

Meacham was part of two of the most successful eras in Oklahoma State football history, first as a student-athlete (1984-87) and then during his tenure as an assistant coach.

Meacham’s history of record-breaking offenses, however, began even before his stint at Henderson. Upon joining the staff at Jacksonville State in 1997, the Gamecocks went 7-4 and recorded the biggest turnaround in Division I-AA. During his tenure at Jacksonville State, Meacham’s offensive unit broke 21 school passing and receiving records.

A.J. Ricker is in his first season on the Kansas staff, serving as offensive line coach.

In his first year of guiding the Tiger offensive line, Ricker molded a young unit into one that improved over the course of the year and played a key role in MU’s lateseason surge to claim the SEC Eastern Division title. Despite having just one player return in the same spot he manned in 2013, Ricker’s line paved the way for 5,138 yards of offense in a well-balanced attack that featured 2,648 passing yards and 2,490 rushing yards.

Ricker returned to Mizzou with eight years of coaching experience under his belt. He began his coaching resume as a graduate assistant at Western Michigan, serving in that role for the 2006 and 2007 seasons, before advancing to a full-time assistant role as offensive line coach in 2008. Ricker moved to St. Joseph’s College (in Rensselaer, Ind.) as offensive line coach in 2009, and served the 2010 season as the program’s head coach before later returning to WMU for the 2011 and 2012 seasons as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator. Following his second stint at Western Michigan, Ricker spent the 2013 season as the offensive line coach at Illinois. Ricker was an All-Big 12 First Team center as a senior at Missouri in 2003, as part of the first bowl-eligible team at MU since 1998. He started 47-consecutive games at center for the Tigers from 2000-03, which established a record at any position at MU at the time, and served as a two-time team captain.

Under Ricker’s watch, left tackle Mitch Morse developed into a top-line performer, as Morse was honored as a All-SEC Second Team player by league coaches. Morse was invited to the NFL Combine and went on to be a second-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2015 NFL Draft. Through his first three NFL seasons, Morse has played in 38 games for the Chiefs, starting all 38.

Ricker earned his undergraduate degree from Mizzou in agriculture in 2004. Following graduation, he signed a free agent contract with the NFL’s Chicago Bears and was allocated to the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe in 2005. In 2006, and for part of 2007, he was a member of the Arena Football League’s Tampa Bay Storm before retiring from his playing days.

In addition, Ricker also mentored Evan Boehm, who set a MU record with 52-career starts. Boehm started all 12 games his freshman season at right guard, before moving to center for his final three seasons, starting all 40 games. He went on to be a fourth-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2016 NFL Draft.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE The Big 12 is in its 23rd year in 2018-19 as it continues to promote the strength and success of one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of seventh-year commissioner Bob Bowlsby. TCU and West Virginia joined the league on July 1, 2012 and became the Big 12’s first additions since inception, joining Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech. With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only autonomy conference to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin schedule. The Conference’s hard work ethic and strong values have translated to enormous success in its first 22 years. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 60 NCAA team titles and 654 individual national championships. The Big 12 has been at the forefront in college athletics reform, specifically with student-athlete welfare issues to include cost of attendance, student-athlete time demands and strengthening its policy for concussion diagnosis and management. In 2014-15, the Big 12 introduced and hosted three “State of Collegiate Athletics” forums to examine the issues facing college athletics. Two were conducted in Washington, D.C., and one in New York City. Panelists included respected authorities from intercollegiate athletics, university leadership and sports journalism. The third forum featured a special session comprised of studentathletes. The Big 12 has continued the “State of Collegiate Athletics” forums the past four seasons with Dallas serving as the host site for three events and one staged in Atlanta. Big 12 Champions for Life, an initiative of the Big 12 Conference, will begin its fourth year in 2018-19. It features student-athletes, selected by Conference institutions, in a series of public service announcements highlighting the positive impact an athletics scholarship has had on their lives leading to stories of personal growth and success. The Big 12 was the only conference in 2017-18 that placed a team in the College Football Playoff (Oklahoma), Men’s Final Four (Kansas), Men’s College World Series (Texas and Texas Tech) and Women’s College World Series (Oklahoma). National championships were won by Texas men’s swimming & diving and Oklahoma State men’s golf. UT’s title was its fourth-consecutive while the Big 12 picked up its second-straight men’s golf crown with Oklahoma winning it in 2017. Of the eight teams that advanced to match play in the men’s golf championship, half of the field represented the

Big 12. For the first time in Conference history, the Big 12 sent 90% of its men’s basketball teams to postseason play with seven in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship and two in the National Invitation Tournament. The Big 12 is the first league since at least 1996-97 to accomplish this feat. The Conference’s 70% participation in the NCAA Championship was the highest of all leagues. The Big 12 led the nation in the fall of 2017 with 80% of its teams selected to bowl games highlighted by No. 2 Oklahoma competing in the CFP Semifinal at the Rose Bowl. The Big 12 had at least 80% of teams bowl eligible for the third time in Conference history (90% in 2010 and 80% in 2011). It marked just the 14th occasion since 1996 that an FBS league had at least 80% of teams with six-plus wins. The Big 12 has made six appearances in a CFP News Year’s Bowl in the four years of the structure. Additionally, the Big 12 added its sixth Heisman Trophy winner since 1996 with Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) taking home the 2017 award. The Conference has had a finalist in 14 of its seasons for a total of 19 with two finalists in five seasons. Thirty-eight major individual awards have been won by Big 12 student-athletes in football over the past nine campaigns. Overall, more than 4,800 student-athletes have earned All-America recognition. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. National academic accolades have always been strong in the Big 12. Ty Darlington (Oklahoma) was the recipient of the 2015 William V. Campbell Trophy, known as the Academic Heisman. Gabe Ikard (Oklahoma) was presented the NCAA Today’s Top 10 Award in January 2015. It recognizes former student-athletes for their successes on the fields and courts, in the classroom and in the community. Since 1996, the Big 12 has a total of 11 honorees for this prestigious award. In the last seven seasons, 14 student-athletes were recipients of the NCAA Elite 90 Award with Oklahoma State’s Noah Gade (cross country), Oklahoma’s Lily Miyazaki (women’s tennis) and Baylor’s Colin Kober (men’s golf) picking up the most recent honors in 201718. The accolade showcases individuals who have reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level, while also achieving

the highest academic standard among their peers.

In its short history, the Big 12 has over 650 Academic All-America recipients, averaging about 30 each season. Big 12 student-athletes have shown commitment to their studies by earning numerous individual academic recognitions. Thirteen times in the past 14 years a league athlete has garnered the top academic honor for their respective sport, including Jevon Carter (West Virginia) for men’s basketball in 2017-18. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships. A total of 421 scholars have received over $3.1 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 22 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 23 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball. Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses five states and nearly 38 million people. Nearly 5,000 student-athletes from across the United States and around the world compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Conference. The Conference currently conducts postseason championships for 21 of its 23 sports with the Football Championship Game returning in 2017 after a six-year absence. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The Conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

BIG 12 COMMISSIONER BOB BOWLSBY Improved scheduling has been another priority under Bowlsby which resulted in a men’s basketball Big 12/SEC Challenge that was staged for the first time in 2013-14. Women’s basketball also created a Big 12/SEC Challenge that expanded to full conference participation in 2016-17. A non-conference scheduling requirement was added in football in which every team must annually play at least one non-conference game against an autonomy conference institution (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC) or Notre Dame.

Big 12 Champions for Life, another initiative of the Conference, will begin its fourth year in 2018-19. It features student-athletes, selected by Big 12 institutions, in a series of public service announcements highlighting the positive impact an athletics scholarship has had on their lives leading to stories of personal growth and success. In his tenure with the Conference, Bowlsby finalized one of the most lucrative television deals in college athletics and played a key role in the formation of the College Football Playoff that began in 2014-15, the first postseason playoff in the history of the sport. He also negotiated a partnership with the Southeastern Conference in which both leagues’ champions will meet each year in the Allstate Sugar Bowl in addition to confirming the league’s other bowl partnerships,

Bowlsby has led the Big 12 Conference to record revenue amounts during his tenure. This is in addition to monies received directly by each institution for its third-tier media rights. Prior to his role at the Big 12, Bowlsby spent six years directing a Stanford University athletics department that sponsors 35 varsity sports and claimed an unprecedented 17 consecutive Learfield Sports Directors Cups, emblematic of the top overall athletics program in the country. Bowlsby arrived at Stanford after a 15-year stint as the Director of Athletics for the University of Iowa. In his final four years, he guided and supervised the merger of the Hawkeye men’s and women’s athletic departments that included 24 varsity sports. Throughout his career, Bowlsby has emerged as a national leader in intercollegiate and amateur athletics. He was appointed to the United States Olympic Committee Board

Commissioner Deputy Commissioner Senior Associate Commissioner Senior Associate Commissioner Associate Commissioner - Communications Associate Commissioner - Football Associate Commissioner - Men’s Basketball & Game Management Chief Financial Officer Assistant Commissioner - Compliance Assistant Commissioner - Events & Human Resources Assistant Commissioner - Governance and Academics Assistant Commissioner - Championships Director - Technology and Video Services Director - Digital Content and Strategy Director - Media Services Associate Director - Championships

Before his stint overseeing the Hawkeye athletic department he served in the same role for seven years at the University of Northern Iowa. A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Bowlsby was named to that post in 1984. He was previously in the role of Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities at the school. Bowlsby earned his bachelor’s degree from Minnesota State University (Moorhead) in 1975 and his master’s degree from the University of Iowa in 1978. In February 2013, he was named to the NCAA 40th Anniversary Tribute Team, which recognized the 40th anniversary of NCAA Division II competition. He was a four-year letterwinner in wrestling at MSUM and served as captain during his senior year when he won a NSIC title, and in 2013 he received the Alumni Achievement Award. Bowlsby was inducted into the Dragon Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and the University of Northern Iowa Hall of Fame in 2007. He also serves on the National Advisory Board of the Positive Coaching Alliance and the Board of the National Football Foundation. Born on January 10, 1952, Bowlsby has been married to his wife, Candice, for over 40 years. They have four children and five grandchildren.

Bender went 23-of-37 on the night and connected on three more touchdown passes throughout the night including a highlight-reel one handed grab from sophomore wide receiver Chase Harrell with 8:57 remaining in the opening quarter, a 16-yard completion for Sims’ second score of the night with 13 seconds remaining in the first half, and a 57-yard catch and run from senior tight end Ben Johnson in the third.

Kansas (1-1) opened the second half with an energy that was missing in the first half, completing a 75-yard drive in four plays, capped by a 33-yard touchdown, KU’s first of the day, on a reverse from junior wide receiver Ryan Schadler to cut the CMU (2-0) lead to 24-13.

Kansas football opened the 2017 season with a bang as junior quarterback Peyton Bender connected with junior wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., for a 77-yard touchdown on his third attempt in a Jayhawk uniform. Taking a 7-0 lead just 2:19 seconds into the game, Kansas never looked back going on to beat Southeast Missouri State 38-16 in front of 32,134 fans inside Memorial Stadium.

With all of the excitement of the Jayhawk offense, the Kansas defense impressed by holding the Redhawks to just 264 total yards, which was the lowest opponent total since last season’s opener against Rhode Island. Redshirt junior Joe Dineen Jr., led all players with 15 total tackles (11 solo) to match a career high set against West Virginia in 2015.

Kansas cut the lead to four with an eight-play, 66-yard drive capped by a one-yard run by Williams. The 14 unanswered points by the Jayhawks to open the half were all but wiped out after Central Michigan scored a touchdown with 5:48 remaining in the third quarter, then followed with an 11-play, 73-yard drive with 13:29 remaining in the game to take a 38-20 lead. The Jayhawks got back on the board with another touchdown run from Williams, but a 75-yard touchdown pass by Central Michigan on its first play following the KU score set the final tally for the game. Kansas was the first to score in the game thanks to a 23-yard field goal by senior kicker Gabriel Rui, but otherwise struggled to get things going in the first half, with Central Michigan outgaining KU 267-129 in the first 30 minutes. Following KU’s field goal with 13 minutes remaining in the first quarter, Central Michigan scored 10 unanswered points to take a 10-3 lead. Senior Cole Moos booted a 50-yard punt and the Jayhawks took advantage of a CMU miscue, as sophomore wide receiver Chase Harrell recovered a ball that was touched on the roll by the Chippewas, giving KU the ball on the Central Michigan 37-yard line. Bender completed three passes on the drive and Williams added seven yards on the ground, but the Jayhawks were held to another field goal to bring the score within four, 10-6.

A 45-yard field goal from SEMO’s Nicholas Litang brought the score to 21-10 with 11:26 remaining in the third, but three-straight scores from the Jayhawks stretched the lead to 28.

Central Michigan answered the KU field goal with two touchdown drives of 83 and 90 yards, respectively, to close the first half with an 18-point lead.

Hosket connected on another touchdown for the Redhawks, this time to Kristian Wilkerson with 12:17 remaining in the game, but it was too little, too late for SEMO as the Jayhawk defense ended the visitors’ next two drives without a score and KU was able to run out the clock for the victory.

Bender finished the game completing 32-of-62 passes for 323 yards and two interceptions. His 62 attempts were the most in a game in Kansas history, topping 58 by David Jaynes in 1973. Bender spread his completions out to four receivers, with senior tight end Ben Johnson leading with seven catches. Freshman wide receiver Quan Hampton caught six passes for a career-best 67 yards receiving. Williams led the Jayhawks’ running game with 64 yards on 18 attempts and also picked up 42 yards on five catches, while Thompson picked up a career-high 48 yards on the ground with 10 rushes, averaging 4.8 yards per attempt. Redshirt junior linebacker Joe Dineen Jr., led the Jayhawks for the second-straight game with 12 tackles, including 2.5 tackles-for-loss, after tallying 15 in the season opener. Senior cornerback Derrick Neal recorded a career-high nine tackles to aid the Kansas defense.

The Jayhawk defense forced SEMO to two three-and-outs to start the game and prevented the Redhawks from scoring on their first five drives of the contest, but a fumble from junior Tyler Patrick on a punt return gave the visitors the ball at the 24-yard line. SEMO got on the board with a five-play drive that was capped with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Jesse Hosket to Trevon Billington.

Aside from Bender’s four passing touchdowns, the Jayhawks scored on a 10-yard rush from freshman running back Dom Williams with 10:17 remaining in the third quarter to take a 28-10 lead, before Bender’s final touchdown of the night to Johnson. Senior kicker Gabriel Rui made his debut in the Crimson and Blue and went a perfect 5-of-5 on PATs and recorded his first-career field goal, a 25-yarder with 14:14 remaining in the game to cap the KU scoring.

After the touchdown from Schadler, the Kansas defense held Central Michigan to its third three-and-out of the game and took possession of the ball on its own 34 following a 44-yard punt by the Chippewas.

R O C K

The 2007 Kansas football team was in attendance for its Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame induction, and among those who made it back to Memorial Stadium for the halftime ceremony was Jayhawk legend Todd Reesing. Bender’s four-touchdown night was the first since Reesing’s four-touchdown performance against Missouri in 2009. In that same game, he threw for a Kansas record 498 yards, and while Bender’s night didn’t quite match that, his 364 yards was the most since the Border Showdown performance from Reesing eight years ago.

Kansas football fell behind by 18 points in the first half to Central Michigan at Memorial Stadium and was unable to overcome the deficit, ultimately falling 45-27. Three second-half touchdowns, two of which came from freshman running back Dom Williams, wouldn’t be enough as the Jayhawks were outgained by the Chippewas, 590-470, with the Jayhawk defense giving up 467 yards and five touchdowns in the air.

The Ohio offense scored on its first three drives of the game before being forced to punt for the first time with 11:42 remaining in the second quarter.

Herbert’s rushing total was the third-most in the Kansas single-game records, as he surpassed a 283-yard game from Kansas legend Gale Sayers in 1962. Only Tony Sands (396 yards) and Nolan Cromwell (294 yards) have rushed for more yards in the 127-year history of the program.

A career rushing day for sophomore running back Khalil Herbert wasn’t enough for Kansas football as the Jayhawks dropped a 42-30 contest at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio. The Kansas defense allowed 7.0 yards per play and the Bobcats scored five touchdowns on 450 total yards offensively.

Things started off quickly for the Bobcats, with a 63-yard run to move to the Kansas 30-yard line on their first play. The Jayhawk defense forced a field goal on the Bobcats’ opening drive, but the home team scored touchdowns on its next two, as well as a two-point conversion on the team’s first touchdown, to take an 18-0 lead with 14:53 remaining in the second quarter. A big chunk of Herbert’s career-high 137 yards came on a 56-yard touchdown run with 9:11 left in the second quarter, after a big first-down pickup on 3rd-and-9 thanks to a 16-yard completion from junior quarterback Peyton Bender to junior wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. Ohio answered the Jayhawks’ first score with a six-play, 91-yard drive, aided by a 58-yard completion on the drive’s fifth play and capped with a nine-yard passing touchdown to extend its lead back to 18 at 25-7. Getting the ball back with 6:14 remaining in the first half, the Jayhawks put together an 18-play, 80-yard drive that lasted 6:06, where Herbert rushed for 38 yards and Bender completed 5-of-6 passes including a nine-yard touchdown to sophomore Chase Harrell, his second receiving touchdown of the year. Trailing by 11 at the half, the Jayhawks attempted to catch Ohio off guard with an onside kick to open the third quarter, but the ball was touched before it went 10 yards, giving the Bobcats short field position. Ohio drove all the way to the seven-yard line, but sophomore safety Mike Lee made an impressive interception in the end zone as he was falling out of bounds to give Kansas the ball back. On the ensuing play, Bender threw an interception to allow the home team to regain possession, and four plays later the Bobcats scored on an eight-yard run to make it 32-14. Kansas was forced to punt on the following possession and Ohio drove 84 yards on 12 plays to score its fifth touchdown of the game on a nine-yard pass. The Jayhawks answered with a 12-play, 77-yard drive that saw junior wide receiver Jeremiah Booker catch a 36yard pass from Bender to move Kansas into Ohio territory and a one-yard completion by Booker for his first-career receiving touchdown. The Kansas defense came up with a stop on the ensuing Ohio drive and used an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended in a career-long 34-yard field goal by redshirt junior kicker Gabriel Rui to bring the score to 39-24. Ohio tacked on another field goal before Kansas drove 75 yards on its final drive of the game, with Herbert capping his career day with a touchdown as the clock expired to set the final score of 42-30. Bender ended the day 30-of-47 passing with 343 yards to make it three-straight games with over 300 yards passing. Sims ended the day with six receptions to lead the Jayhawks with 60 receiving yards, while Harrell and Booker picked up 58 and 59 yards receiving, respectively. Joe Dineen Jr., turned in 11 total tackles (four solo), marking his third-consecutive game of 10 or more stops to lead the Kansas defense.

Kansas sophomore running back Khalil Herbert impressed the home crowd at Memorial Stadium against West Virginia, picking up 291 yards on the ground and two touchdowns, but two interceptions and a fumble proved to be costly in the Jayhawks’ 56-34 loss.

The Jayhawks came out of the gate firing as Herbert put the team on his back and carried it down the field, rushing 70 yards on 10 attempts on Kansas’ first drive, including an 18-yard gain on the game’s first play. Despite Herbert’s efforts on the drive, the Jayhawks were forced to kick a field goal after a devastating false start on 4th-and-1 at the WVU 3-yard line stalled the KU progression. Redshirt junior kicker Gabriel Rui drove home the 28-yard attempt to give Kansas a 3-0 lead with 8:52 remaining in the first quarter. West Virginia rebounded from the Kansas field goal with four unanswered touchdowns to dig the Jayhawks in a 28-3 hole with 5:17 remaining in the first half. Determined to get his team back in the game, Herbert’s number was called on three-straight plays to start the ensuing drive after the fourth WVU touchdown. Gaining seven and one yard on the first two plays, respectively, Herbert broke free on his third attempt of the drive for a career-long 67-yard touchdown run. The Jayhawks had a prime opportunity to cut into the West Virginia lead after posting a defensive stop and regaining possession of the ball with 44 seconds remaining in the half, but bad luck struck the Jayhawks in the form of a pass that was tipped by junior wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., before being intercepted and taken into the end zone by West Virginia’s Mike Daniels to stretch the Mountaineer lead to 25. Kansas regained composure after the miscue and was able to move down the field in 30 seconds to end the half with a 41-yard field goal from Rui, a new career long for the kicker out of Hinton, Oklahoma. Down 35-13 at halftime, Kansas came out in the second half with determination and posted two-straight scoring drives. The Jayhawks forced a punt on West Virginia’s opening drive of the half and drove 89 yards in nine plays, capped with a 60-yard scamper from Herbert before punching it in for his second score of the game from five yards out to cut the deficit to 15. The Jayhawk defense stepped up yet again on the ensuing Mountaineer drive, as sophomore cornerback Hasan Defense provided Kansas with a big momentum swing, intercepting at the KU 30. Kansas was unable to capitalize on the takeaway, but forced a West Virginia punt on the following drive and swung the momentum even further in favor of the home team on the first play after the punt. Bender connected with Sims down the left sideline on a perfectly-placed pass that hit the Houston, Texas native in stride for a 64-yard completion. Sims was drug down at the 3-yard line and a roughing the passer penalty on the same play moved the ball to the 1-yard line, where junior running back Taylor Martin carried it home to bring the Jayhawks within one score at 35-27. WVU bounced back with a seven-yard completion from quarterback Will Grier to wide receiver David Sills V and extended the Mountaineer lead to 42-27. Kansas completed a 75-yard drive in 12 plays that ended in a seven-yard touchdown from Bender to Sims. Down 42-34 with 7:35 remaining, the Jayhawks needed a big stop from the defense but were unable to get one as West Virginia scored on a six-play, 72-yard drive that ate up 2:12 of the game clock.

JACK TRICE STADIUM • AMES, IOWA • OCT. 14, 2017 • ATTENDANCE: 55,593

Texas Tech controlled the game from the opening drive, scoring 21 unanswered points on its first three drives. A nine-play, 75-yard drive, capped with a 13-yard touchdown run from Stockton gave the Red Raiders their first score with 11:43 remaining in the opening quarter.

Kansas (1-5, 0-3 Big 12) held Iowa State (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) to just 136 yards of offense in the first half, which marked the lowest first-half total by a Big 12 opponent in the David Beaty era, but a series of mistakes started multiple Iowa State drives in Kansas territory.

Kansas was unable to convert on a fourth-down attempt on its first drive, turning the ball over on downs at the Texas Tech 45. The Red Raiders moved the ball down the field with ease on their ensuing drive, scoring in just 50 seconds after Nisby took the drive’s third play 47 yards to put the Red Raiders ahead by two scores.

The errors came early for Kansas after the Jayhawk defense forced an Iowa State punt on the home team’s first drive. Junior Steven Sims Jr., mishandled the Cyclone punt and ISU fell on the ball at the KU 46-yard line, just 2:34 into the first quarter.

Texas Tech added to its lead after another failed fourth-down conversion by the Jayhawks with its second-straight three-play touchdown drive. TTU quarterback Nic Shimonek connected with wide receiver Quan Shorts for a 37-yard touchdown pass, and after a PAT from Michael Barden the Red Raiders held a 21-0 advantage.

The Kansas defense was able to recover and hold the Cyclones to a three-and-out, but the Jayhawks’ first offensive play following Iowa State’s second punt of the day turned into Kansas’ second turnover of the game. Junior quarterback Peyton Bender found an open man down field, but the ball hit freshman wide receiver Quan Hampton’s hands and was tipped to Iowa State defensive back Kamari Cotton-Moya for an interception. Cotton-Moya returned the pick 23 yards to give Iowa State the ball at the KU 8-yard line.

Kansas was unable to solve a potent Texas Tech offense, powered by a rushing attack that gained 313-of-603 total yards, including 161 by senior Justin Stockton and four rushing touchdowns by junior Desmond Nisby, as the Jayhawks fell on Homecoming to the Red Raiders, 65-19.

A three-and-out from the Jayhawks put the defense back on the field where a sack by junior defensive end Josh Ehambe built needed momentum for the Jayhawks. After three plays, Kansas forced TTU to punt, and junior Khalil Herbert blocked the punt, setting up the Jayhawks on their own 28-yard line. A six-play drive was capped with an 18-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Peyton Bender to junior wide receiver Jeremiah Booker to make the score 21-7 with 19 seconds remaining in the first stanza.

Kansas sophomore Mike Lee picked off his second pass of the season on Texas Tech’s next drive attempt, which placed Kansas on the Red Raiders’ 27-yard line. Bender connected on a 41-yard pass to junior wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., to put Kansas in the red zone, but after three incomplete passes, the Jayhawks were forced to kick a field goal. Redshirt junior kicker Gabriel Rui completed a 21-yard field goal for his seventh made try of the season to bring the score to 35-10 before heading into the locker room.

After a missed 44-yard field goal attempt by TTU, Kansas answered with a seven-play, 74-yard drive, which included a 45-yard run by Herbert and concluded with a two-yard rushing touchdown by junior running back Taylor Martin, his second of the season. A mishandled snap on the point after attempt resulted in a failed two-point conversion, making the score 35-19 in favor of the visitors from Lubbock. Texas Tech closed the game with 30 unanswered points, including Nisby’s fourth rushing touchdown of the game, setting the final score at 65-19.

Kansas’ defense continued to shine in the stormy conditions, forcing two-straight three-and-outs, but the Jayhawk offense struggled to get anything going with punts on three-straight drives. Iowa State went up 14-0 after returning the Jayhawks’ third punt of the game 68 yards for a touchdown with 1:30 remaining in the first quarter. Having extended the lead to 17-0 with a 26-yard field goal with 5:56 remaining in the first half, Iowa State took advantage of yet another short-yardage situation. A bad snap on a Kansas punt forced senior Cole Moos to fall on the ball on the KU 23-yard line. The Cyclones ran three plays in 33 seconds to score their third touchdown of the game, a one-yard rush from Montgomery to take a 24-0 lead into the half. Kansas received the ball to open the second half, but couldn’t find a spark at the intermission and were held to a three-and-out to start the third quarter. The Jayhawk defense continued to do its part by holding Iowa State to zero yards on its first drive of the half to force a punt. A dropped snap on a punt on Kansas’ next drive, that resulted in a punt of negative-two yards, put Iowa State in Kansas territory to open its drive once again, and again the Cyclones took advantage of the field position. Iowa State started its drive on the 27-yard line, and after four plays Montgomery had his third rushing touchdown of the game and the Cyclones held a 31-0 lead. Iowa State would go on to score two more touchdowns, while the Kansas offense was held to just 106 yards of total offense, its lowest total since 2014 against Oklahoma when it was held to 103 yards. Kansas’ defense forced seven Iowa State three-and-outs, its highest total in 2017, led by linebacker Joe Dineen Jr., who posted 16 tackles, tying a career high. The Jayhawks recorded nine tackles-for-loss, including sacks by junior defensive tackle Daniel Wise and sophomore defensive end Isaiah Bean.

Kansas started off the second half with a 10-play, 42-yard drive, which resulted in a 41-yard field goal by Rui, which tied a career long for the Hinton, Oklahoma native.

Iowa State took just 44 seconds to capitalize on the short yardage, with running back David Montgomery taking a four-yard run into the end zone for the touchdown on the drive’s second play.

C H A L K

Texas Tech answered the Jayhawks’ scoring drive with 14 unanswered points, all by Nisby. An eight-yard rushing touchdown with 13:06 on the clock and another run to the end zone with 5:16 remaining in the second quarter stretched the TTU lead to 35-7.

Kansas football was plagued by miscues on a rainy day at Iowa State’s Jack Trice Stadium, where the Jayhawks fell to the Cyclones, 45-0. The Jayhawks fell in an early hole due to two first quarter turnovers, and were never able to recover despite a strong defensive effort.

AMON G. CARTER STADIUM • FORT WORTH, TEXAS • OCT. 21, 2017 • ATTENDANCE: 42,969

Kansas football was unable to solve No. 4-ranked TCU, as the Horned Frogs beat the Jayhawks 43-0 at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. Kansas was held to just 21 yards of total offense, while TCU picked up 475 yards in the game. The Horned Frogs were powered by 278 yards in the air from senior quarterback Kenny Hill, who threw for five touchdowns on 19of-26 passing. Hill’s main target on the night was senior wide receiver John Diarse, who hauled in four passes for 130 yards and one touchdown. Jalen Reagor caught two touchdown passes, while wide receivers Desmon White and Taj Williams each grabbed a touchdown pass. Redshirt junior linebacker Joe Dineen Jr., who led the nation in solo tackles and ranked third in total tackles going into Saturday’s game, totaled 11 stops, including seven solo tackles to lead the Jayhawk defense. Kansas picked up a first down on its opening drive with junior quarterback Peyton Bender finding senior tight end Ben Johnson on third down for a 13-yard completion, but the Jayhawks’ drive stalled and they were forced to punt. KU was held to three-and-outs on its next eight drives and finished the game with just four first downs. Johnson hauled in four passes in the game as the Jayhawks’ leading receiver, totaling 35 yards. Bender finished the night 7-of-16 passing with 38 yards in the air. Junior running back Deron Thompson led Kansas with 10 yards rushing. TCU scored on its first possession, an eight-play, 71-yard drive that was sparked by a 39-yard completion on thirdand-4 from Hill to White down the left sideline. The drive was capped with a six-yard touchdown on another Hill to White connection. The Horned Frogs drove 52 yards on their next drive, but were held to a field goal, making the score 10-0 with 1:41 remaining in the first quarter. Kansas forced TCU to punt on its next possession, but the home team took advantage of a short field on its ensuing drive, after a 28-yard punt from KU senior Cole Moos. Taking over at the KU 35-yard line, TCU scored its second touchdown of the game to make the score 17-0 after the PAT. Hill connected with Diarse for a 67-yard touchdown pass on TCU’s following drive, giving the Horned Frogs a 24-point lead with 4:54 remaining in the first half. That score would stand until the 12:34 mark in the third quarter, when Hill completed his fourth touchdown pass of the game, capping a six-play, 75-yard drive. A failed PAT made the score 30-0. A 45-yard scoring drive that ended with Hill’s fifth and final passing touchdown of the night, followed by a 90-yard punt return for a touchdown from the Horned Frogs stretched the TCU lead to 43-0 and cap the night’s scoring with 6:36 remaining in the third quarter.

MEMORIAL STADIUM • LAWRENCE, KAN. • OCT. 28, 2017 • ATTENDANCE: 36,223

An impressive offensive day that saw sophomore quarterback Carter Stanley throw for 418 yards and junior wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., haul in nine passes for 233 yards, paired with a strong defensive effort that registered 12.0 tackles-for-loss and held Kansas State to its third-lowest offensive total of 2017 wasn’t quite enough, as Kansas fell to the Wildcats 30-20 in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown. Kansas picked up early momentum when junior defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr., forced a fumble as Kansas State was threatening to score on its opening drive. Armstrong’s strip was recovered by junior safety Tyrone Miller Jr., at the KU 16-yard line. Making his first start of the season and the fourth of his career, Stanley’s career-best day marked the fifth-most passing yards in Kansas single-game history, surpassing Todd Reesing’s 412 against Louisiana Tech in 2008. KU’s opening drive gave Stanley early confidence, as he completed three passes, including a 16-yard first down to Sims on 3rd-and-7 at the KU 19-yard line. Another big third-down conversion, this time a 47-yard completion to junior wide receiver Tyler Patrick, moved the Jayhawks into the red zone at the 18-yard line. Kansas was unable to fully capitalize, but kicker Gabriel Rui drove home a 28-yard field goal to take the 3-0 lead. The field goal snapped a nine-quarter scoring drought for the Jayhawks. The game’s momentum quickly turned however, as Kansas State’s DJ Reed returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards to give the Wildcats a 7-3 lead. Rui stepped up big again, bringing the game within one by hitting a career-long 42-yard field goal with 5:18 remaining in the first quarter. K-State drove down the field the following drive, moving into the red zone on the third play – a 38-yard completion by KSU sophomore quarterback Alex Delton to junior wide receiver Byron Pringle. After giving up the big play, however, the Kansas defense held tough and junior defensive end Josh Ehambe came up with a TFL for a two-yard loss on first-and-10 from the KU 14. An 11-yard completion on the following play gave K-State a third-and-1, but stops by junior defensive tackle J.J. Holmes and sophomore safety Mike Lee on the next two plays made for a big stop for the Kansas defense at the 5-yard line. The Wildcats looked to take advantage of the short field position, but the KU defense was able to limit the damage to just a field goal, thanks to TFLs from Lee and Ehambe on back-to-back plays. The Jayhawks were hurt by a turnover to start the second half, as Stanley lost a fumble and Kansas State took over at the KU 18. K-State needed just three plays and 1:24 to extend the lead to 17-6 after a three-yard rushing touchdown by sophomore running back Alex Barnes. Kansas State was given favorable field position yet again and was able to extend the lead to 14 on a 36-yard field goal. Kansas took over on its own 3-yard line and drove the ball down field in nine plays and 3:25 seconds to bring the score within one touchdown at 20-13 with 13:26 remaining in the game. K-State was gifted friendly field position once again after a 35-yard punt from Kansas senior punter Cole Moos and a 10-yard return from Pringle. The Wildcats took over at the KU 26 and used just three plays on the drive, capped with a nine-yard run from Barnes. Down 27-13, Kansas answered in resounding fashion, as the Stanley-to-Sims connection kept working. On the drive’s second play, Sims caught a pass in stride down the middle of the field from Stanley and took it 60 yards to the house for his fourth touchdown of the season, making it 27-20 after a Rui PAT. Kansas State took over after the punt at the KU 45 with 4:13 remaining in the game and the Jayhawk defense was unable to blank the visiting offense, but held the Wildcats to a field goal to make the final score 30-20.
