Kendrick back in at QB. #KUfball

So KU has some RBs.
Khalil Herbert breaks a 59-yard TD run. #KUfball

Joe Ross I say we stick with Kendrick and run

It's KU 31, Rutgers 14 with 2:29 left in 2Q.
#KUfball has 174 rushing yards so far.

Khalil Herbert 59-yd TD run. Kansas has three very good running backs, Herbert with Pooka Williams and Dom Williams. Kansas 31, Rutgers 14. Those 3 backs have combined for 164 yds rushing on 17 carries, a 9.6 average. #KUfball

by Tom Keegan via twitter 9/15/2018 5:40:34 PM
So KU has 2 direct answers to both of Rutgers' scores. Nice.

Halftime in Lawrence:
Kansas 31
Rutgers 14
#KUfball feasting on RU giveaways (4)
Pooka Williams has 77 rushing yards.

Halftime: Kansas 31, Rutgers 14. Kansas scored as many as 31 points in a game just twice last season, in victory over SEMO and loss to West Virginia. #KUfball

by Tom Keegan via twitter 9/15/2018 5:48:42 PM
Admittedly, No way I thought KU would score 31 in the first half today.

With the 59-yard touchdown, Khalil Herbert has over 1,000 yards of rushing on his career.

What a fun half. I also enjoyed by 55 yard jogging interview with @beaty_david at half. I may have pulled a hammy… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Baylor, next week's opponent in Waco.

by Tom Keegan via twitter 9/15/2018 6:05:06 PM
KU opens on offense in 3Q. No return on kickoff.
MIles Kendrick is the QB. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 6:08:29 PM
3 and out to open 2nd half for #KUfball offense.

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 6:10:57 PM
Daniel Wise remains in uniform on sideline. Helmet off, but in his hand. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 6:15:58 PM
Time for offense to drive

Miles Kendrick again at QB.

Why burn a timeout there, makes no sense

Daniel Wise tried to play but limps off the field after 1 snap. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 6:29:22 PM
2nd career start, 1st career INT for Coe Harris.
Jayhawks with their 5th defensive takeaway today vs Rutgers.

Corinne Harris gets the pick with the ball at the 30.

If Beaty didn’t take a timeout, that’s another 5 yards off the punt and Rutgers may not have chosen to pass. Was the timeout worth it?

#KUfball takes 38-14 lead on Miles Kendrick's 8-yd TD run. Drive: 5 plays, 25 yards, 1:34. Freshman CB Corione Harris' first interception, which already has more takeaways (12) than all of last season (9).

Running game changes everything

34-yard FG by Gabriel Rui.
It's 41-14 KU. 3:38 3Q.

10 of Rutgers' 13 drives had fewer than four plays.

Daylon Charlot sighting. And by that I mean he just checked in briefly. Still Kendrick at QB. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 6:48:38 PM
Pretty easy to envision KU beating Nicholls if Pooka had played. #KUfball

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 6:50:49 PM
#KUfball 15 minutes from its first back-to-back wins since 2011.
KU 41, RU 14 entering 4Q.

by Benton Smith via twitter 9/15/2018 6:51:34 PM
No doubt pooka would have been X factor in first game
