Pooka Williams back to return kickoff with Ryan Schadler.
Kick goes over Pooka's head. Touchback. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 4:36:53 PM
Kansas-Rutgers is 10-7 and there hasn’t been an offensive point. This game is living up to the hype 😂

Bender off to better start this drive. Hits Robinson for 1st down. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 4:39:18 PM
Nice play by Kerr Johnson to extend pass play, totaled 22 yards. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 4:41:00 PM
How does a man Pooka Wiliams' size so easily break tackles?
Powerful legs, man. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 4:41:44 PM
Inside the 10, KU brings in Miles Kendrick at QB. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 4:42:22 PM
What a swing! Open man in the endzone for Bender could have put us up 17-0. Instead it's 10-7. Take 7 off and give it to the other guys. 14-point swing.

Miles Kendrick with a carry to right side where he couldn't turn the corner followed by an incompletion.
On 3rd down though he hits Jeremiah Booker for a TD. #Kufball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 4:44:18 PM
Kansas brought running quarterback Miles Kendrick in and threw two consecutive passes, the second a 6-yd TD on a fade to Jeremiah Booker. Kansas 17, Rutgers 7. 10 plays, 75, 4:27. #KUfball

by Tom Keegan via twitter 9/15/2018 4:46:14 PM
10-play, 75-yard drive took 4:20, ended with Miles Kendrick pass to Booker. The senior WR made great adjustment on the floating pass toward back corner of end zone. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 4:47:10 PM
That is KU football, right there. How is it that Pooka got no touches or targets in that series?

Kendrick back in for this series. Fires deep, far too deep, on 1st down. #KUfball Incomplete.
