Coming off back-to-back victories to close non conference play, the Kansas football team (2-1) begins its Big 12 schedule on the road, at Baylor (2-1). The Jayhawks haven't won a conference road game since 2008, but enter Waco, Texas, confident, thanks to their nation-best +12 turnover margin and a suddenly strong rushing attack centered around freshman sensation Pooka Williams.
Gray skies in Waco and so far no rain. Forecast says it won't rain until after game, if then. Safety Ricky Thomas out with injury today for Kansas. #KUfball
No initial pressure on Brewer on 3rd & 7 but Torneden comes through with open-field tackle. Brings up 4th & 2. #KUfball Bears punt on opening possession.
Baylor D winning battle up front. 2 str8 3-yard losses for Pooka followed by Baylor's J.T. Woods dropping interception that Bender threw right to him. 7-point break there for Kansas. 0-0, 9:23, 1st Q, Baylor ball 1st and 10 at KU 47. #kufball
Earlier this week, Peyton Bender stressed the importance of counting defenders in the box before the snap in order to have success running the ball against Baylor. Something to monitor after a pair of negative runs.
Corione Harris looks like freshman on 22-yd TD pass from Brewer to Platt, who had 19-yard gain on reverse earlier in the drive. Baylor 7, Kansas 0, 5:35, 1st Q. #kufball
