Lindenwood Lions Vs. Kansas Jayhawks FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | 2024 NCAA Week 1

we talked about has always been one of the more aggressive coaches on fourth down they'll load the tied end to the right that's the direction Daniels wants to go little hitch caught Spin and yards after catch as Grim is escorted out of bounds inside the Red Zone just outside the 20 as where're they're going to mark it split backs both High Shaw and Neil in the game Grim on the near side makes the catch and another first down Ethan stole salts and The Jayhawks with their pre- snap motion they are just constantly moving guys around first and goal little Jet Sweep action running to the boundary side this is Doug emilion he'll pick up five Devin Edwards the team captain in on the stop three of five on this opening drive for 33 yds they will go right up the gut with it practically untouched Devin Neil touchdown what a tightly contested kicking battle here in the full C so a little more than 5 minutes in Kanas on the board first and we will get our second look at this Lindenwood offense keep in mind this lion programing from the 25 they will give it to their big back Cortez Jones and he does not have much space DJ Withers who the coaches just raved about in our meeting they said he by far has had the best ball Camp of anyone I said he was most consistent done and Withers the two interior tackles glance on Corks And a beauty sliding catch is made that's Abe har the junior tied end and the Lions move the sticks for the first time fell right into that slot cover two defense trying to throw the corner route and a nice job by Nate Glen this Ball's on time beats it in there before all conference cornerback they go trips left they set up that quick screen on that side not a lot of room to work as reys Thomas driven out of bounds by Jaylen [Music] Dy this was a quarterback battle Nate GL off Wi sub coordinator Dusty Hava really loves his competitive Spirit keep in mind this was a roster coming into the summer that glance arrived early in the summer so he missed all of the spring they had two Rost again a Forman rush and the pass is caught and a first down at the 43 reys Thomas beating Melo doson and backto back first downs for the Lions second time they've targeted reys Thomas on a third down this time he comes up with it special moment Bree Thomas who started his career as a walk-on at Kansas a couple of catches in this first quarter speaking of a couple of grabs Abe hair with his second catch lost the ball late but they're going to say he was [Music] down go second down and seven glance a deep drop wanted to go down the field now fires and nobody open as he throws it away Drew crowth was the closest receiver and now you look at this part of the field third and seven Kansas brings the blitz they set up the screen one man to beat but stain Home was doson it looked like the Lions had it set up the blitz was dialed but do TI in to the right as well pre receivers left fourth and five pressure off the edge and they get to him dump back up the 45 [Applause] the generate so much production from last year with Austin Booker who led the j-hawks and tfls and sacks and was the fifth round pick of Chicago forced to check down on first down and Grim pulls a Houdini as he dodged the missile and keep in mind he had his best season of his career back in 22 when Daniels was healthy for nine games they stretch it wide Skinner as the flag flies Skinner then lost the football late Lindenwood says they have it let's see how the officials are going to rule this still no indication as our officiate out after the change of possession so Linden wood and this offense will go back to work Steve Hall with his first touch a quick hitter over the left side Nets four Cornell wheeler one of the captains in on the stop Steve Hall another one of the backs that this offensive sta bragged to us about freshman in the second down and right back up the middle they go and this will set up a third down the Lions tonight one for three on third Downs feels like they're following the [Applause] script off that RPO glance lost it and a fortuitous bounce comes right back into his lap that could have been disaster they go RPO pull gets the pull read gets on the outside and for a second it looked like this may have been incomplete but no he really does gives that pump fake fumbles and just like you said fortunate for Lions fans to wonder if this hot and humid night will play an impact as far as the ball handling as we go deeper into the evening another first down run over the right side Steve Hall there haven't been chunk plays to this point in the game in the first quarter well no penalties either way the Lions nearly doubling up Kansas on time of possession and just as I say the discipline we get the game's first flat start offense number five 5y penalty first down John Anthony always drives you crazy when a receiver on the approaching 90 seconds to go in this opening quarter play clock down to one glance just did get the snap away running for his life Robinson had him by the Jersey now a little flip as he gets it out of bounds an incomplete good job there by glance Robinson was the first one putting on the heat and glance goes to the line and checks to this play doesn't like it to the field and Sean you said it this looked like this was going to be a disaster he play by Nate glance to just get rid of the ball and using all of that play clock glance over the middle and it's stripped at the last second knock away incomplete Cornell wheeler getting his hand in there in the nick of time there's a captain on the defensive side Cornell wheeler squatting on this hitch rounde does a nice job football field tonight making some noise little floater Hall has to wait for it to come down and when it finally arrived KU is ready dearius McGee the backup Corner the junior for Wilson awaiting the punt inside is 20 Turner and that one might have been tipped as KU came after it and this one wobbles Out of Bounds at the 42 yd line 17 yds on the first down this will be Daniel haaw with no room to go solid opening quarter by St saltz who's one of their lead leaders the second Team all big South Ohio Valley Conference player from a year ago and high Shaw running back just adds to that depth in that running back room we've talked a lot about and deservedly so for Devin Neil Daniel haaw behind him over 600 yards on the ground a year ago you'll see him in the Wildcat as well give some credit to Linden here on third down Grim in motion Daniels looking at him the entire and it's picked off by Trey Bell a breakdown in communication and an easy and now the best starting position of the day for the Lions glance gets rid of it quickly in the first touch on the evening for Jeff calwell calwell thrown down Lane along that season in which he caught 32 balls missed some games as well with an injury they get right back to him and an excellent open field Tackle by OJ burough I loved in out of the pistol third down they wanted to set up the screen they come back to the opposite side and cwell could not bring it down excellent job there Taylor by the rush in De Miller sniffing out that screen Turner with a little squib punt in over it end in heavy traffic Wilson Fair catches at the 16 it's a pun of 29 y 1334 to go first half has not run with the football so far we both watched Lindenwood and a lot of film that they needed in this transition to FCS this is grim again that duck move able to avoid Defenders and yards after catch they pitch it to the short side look at the patience and now the explosion one man to beat Neil with a cut the last line in the fist Trey Bell the explosive play some Center but because of foster he's back at his more comfortable Right Guard left guard spot haaw with a surge over that right side picks up seven watching High Shaw on tape such a natural Runner and really just a gifted athlete played quarter on second down cut back Lane is there and then High Shaw is popped what a hit by STL Sals started his career at Butler Community College Now High Shaw trying to use his speed toward the pylon and he'll be just shy as high Shaw steps out at the one man when he turn back position to the right two tied ends in first and goal they hand it off and the second time in this opening half untouched for six goes Deon Neil as a tone setting drive by Kansas coming off the two turnovers all of that production marching down offense that was top 10 in the country in running the football a year ago pretty much all the pieces are back as well on this first down from the 25 yd line it's the tight end in motion Cortez Jones picking up two yards Jones brought in big midyear gift are high on their left tackle Gareth Warren big number 78 that's the side that they're trying to find any type of daylight on but there was nothing Melo doson lending support from the secondary defensive coordinator [Applause] Brian glance timy pattern picked off off the crossbar for tab Allen onto the pre-season All Conference players on the outside for Kansas shines early pick six for Melo doson 20 to nothing here in Kansas city that is a dangerous proposition to throw a field comeback against Melo doson 12 carries 27 yds as a team here for the Lions and another dangerous throw and this one incomplete glance fortunate allowing these jhawk Defenders to get some arms in they stretch it wide Jones the big bruising back escorted out of bounds by Marvin Grant he is a low Jones at 6 ft 200 they set up that little tunnel screen action and just nothing there Cornell wheeler had it read beautifully in a three and out for lyen wood I'm not sure it would have mattered even if he had CGH 26 yds a punt so far keep in mind he have one block earlier this one he gets away and it will hop away from Mr Wilson punt of 37 yds so Daniels looking over a four-man front play fake he'll throw on the Run sideline pattern it's caught Skinner tight roping the Lindenwood side and a first down catch an incomplete pass Skinner one of those receivers who's just getting back to full health he was slowed during the Midway point of summer camp with an injury and one of that key cogs on the outside the trio of experience was Skinner Arnold and Luke Grim Daniels the play fake wants to take a shot Grim is out there in stride touchdown Kansas the top on the left side of your screen again just two people in this route and this is just pure speed from Luke grim and a great throw from Jaylen Daniels Luke Grim has been targeted frequently in this opening half five catches for over 100 yard Lynden wood right now looking at a serious uphill so anxious to see how will they respond the growing process part of that train transition cut back there by Hall and he stripped up as wheeler got a hand in there was a running Lane there and a great Tackle by Cornell wheeler late shift by that defensive line on second down and they shifted the right direction there was no Avenue to be found wheeler once again in on the stop along with Keenan Caldwell Keenan Caldwell wins in the interior yards of offense in this second quarter glance will try to change that steps into the throw and it's caught AB hair the tight end and a first down something positive for the boys from St Charles that's the second time they've gone back to the 47 first and 15 glance off his back foot lobs it to Steve Hall and he is met right there point of attack by JB Brown and you talk to Lance lifeold he brings that punch second and 14 pocket collapsing it for the second time glance is dumped back at Midfield Jeremy Robinson a b here on Third and long each in with a sack Miller now Robinson and they nearly got to him again Sho string catch made by Hall but well shy of the first down Jason gilam with the tackle Miller had the heat on glance was deep rugby style of Punt and this one will be downed inside the 10 nice job there by Patrick Turner in the Special Teams unit as they will ping Kansas working from the shadows of his own End Zone man he can throw it he rips it out passes caught Skinner up ahead to the 30 it's a gain of 25 yds such a quick release in the velocity and recognized immediately that at the 31 yd line Trevor Cardell in motion they set up the screen again working that boundary side good job there defensively by Lindenwood to sniff that out second down GB this is high Shaw through a little crevice and he is tripped up as a flag is down at the 20 Jordan canap key coming he has stepped up more of a vocal leader pick up the blitz Daniels I think touched for the first time in this first half as he is 100 yard keep in mind this drive started back at the Kansas five and haaw driving and surging near the goal line will be a yard shy keep in mind the j-hawks as well have a timeout to use clock continuing to wind down second and goal high shw trying to find the endend Zone propels his way ahead no word yet they're going to say no denied right in front of the goal line This Kansas offense and how about the clock management by Kansas on that drive as well working with the one timeout they take it 95 yds they rips getting a pep talk along the sideline as we're anticipating to see the Freshman here on this opening drive the j-hawks on the return take it out to the 15 yd line Ballard on the bootleg throws and a wide open Lawrence Arnold Arnold with his second catch understanding on when to take those chances and when to live to fight another day but because of that attitude he said he's one of those guys that was accepted so quickly by the locker room in fact Ballard can take off if he wants to and that's exactly what he does and he's shouldered out of bounds by Vincent K in Skinner in motion they will hand the football ball off hitting the hole hard is Morrison and he is wrapped up at the 11 Tackle by Deon Edward and Lincoln second down and three again this will be Morrison trying to get to the outside and he is coralled by Vincent King we talked about King in a match up against the top 25 opponent over that left side good Push by the offensive line and a first and goal for Kansas constant movement by Kansas back and forth they line up Casey to the left lowering the pads is Morrison and he'll be tackled at the one again it is canap key a Northern Colorado transfer coming tonight High Shaw has a rushing touchdown will Morrison add his name to that list no at least not right now good job there by the Lions Matt Barnett closing the hole everybody in the Box third down and goal Morrison this time will plow his way touchdown J [Music] Hawks really a statement coming out [Applause] of 10 times a season ago he touched it eight times of that drive alone tab Allen with the approach strong right leg and another touch back for Allen lyen wood and Nate Lance in this offense out on here at Lindenwood they get ready to make the move year three division two up to division one in the FCS level a good carry again from Cortez Jones you're exactly right Sean the challenges of going third down and short and a good job there by Joan despite some penetration by that front line he was able to dodge his way and pick up the first down we mentioned the cellout crowd against the Big 12 opponent first and 10 at the 36 glance will take a shot a rare shot downfield cwell up escalator and he is cut down by KOB the call coming from upstairs so good job by our officials up in the booth spot that player safety dangerous throw and did they get a foot in no out of bounds they say bur could not drag a to OJ Burrows all over this lindenwood's trying to hit will route up the sideline watch number five come downhill right now reacts to it jumps in front of Drew Crobat almost comes down with the interception lands just out of bounds tonight 12 of 23 100 yds the one interception second down and Tim wants to set the screen had to wait a little bit longer and that's because JB Brown had that play read he was there just waiting for the opportunity well whether it's been slip screens to the running back or tunnel screens outside of the receivers Kansas has done done a nice job all night reacting shedding blocks and making open field tackles it up the middle for this jhawk defense third and 13 they get rid of it quickly again it's Jones nowhere to go shreds one Defender but forward progress stop and a fourth and 12 for Linden wood and they glance is doing everything he can to try and get the ball out of his hands quickly but it feels like every time regardless of whether or not there's a Trevor Wilson with the fair catch second time tonight the Patrick Turner is Pinn cansas deep you for look the powder blue to start this season first down and bouncing through W be tacklers and a good carry up past the 20 yd line anticipating on seeing Harry Stewart the third as well first down play a little bootleg action pass is caught up ahead to the 27 y9 yds plus he's added 20 yards and a couple of carries they'll go right back to the air little short underneath route Trevor Cardell with the catch tackled immediately by Ethan STL Sals that's another guy that lcol and Mason Fairchild and now you talked about the trio that KU will rely on heavily at that position I think it's the difference now is you've got true two two different body types between Trevor Cardell at 65 versus Jared Casey that's really more of a route Runner they use him some in inline blocking but you know second down give over the right side and a big hole opens up and a first down for Johnny Thompson getting to look at some offensive linemen that are still fighting for a spot in that starting lineup Daryl Simmons the transfer from Iowa State opening up a hole along with Shane bumgardner the center that they brought in from tiffan Shane bumgardner was somebody that they mentioned toal that you rotate some of these pieces in non-confidence Balor patient throws a strike and then a hit and a flag will fly tremendous concentration as Wilson hold it in a look at the crown of the helmet that's the piece we're really focused on it's helmet to helmet contact also looks like Eric Gant does drop that head although it looks like that angle there the left shoulder more as the leading point of contact this will will be a really good angle watch the left shoulder and the head I don't know is tting a defenseless player the receiver over the middle forcible contact to the head and neck area and the indicator was that launch even though he got him with the shoulder it was that head neck area I know you don't like it just not I think it would fit into that I'm just not sure if you're AIC again what you're supposed to do if you can't you lead with the shoulder you make contact you avoid hitting with the crown of your helmet and you're still called for targeting the counter to that is well I guess you let him catch the ball get to the ground and then you make contact hard to play DB I do not not jealous of anybody that has to play defensive back [Music] anymore 15 yards see a lid pop off baric Gant disqualify for the remainder of this game along with the first half of week two in the secondary and it's Johnny Thompson who lost it helmet couple of helmets coming off he missing km as well as he Sprints to the far sideline and that will bring us to the end of the third quarter of Thursday night air in Kansas City the in that third quarter alongside Taylor Mard Sean Kenny with you as we begin quarter number four Balor but that touch lot of contact the flags fly he was looking for mhler again J Patrick with the contact will flank Balor to his left mhler in motion Balor rolls right throws back of the end zone he'll go right up the gut with it and a push for three yards for Johnny Thompson you mentioned Harry Stewart as well J sideline third down and goal on that read option Ballard is going to keep it and a good open field tackle is made by Jadon Johnson the junor the former Thundering Herd from Marshall safety able to bring down [Music] the fourth down throw just shy of the goal line but the final few steps for the touchdown [Applause] Doug emilion finds the end zone get the end zone 11 plays 90 yards Drive orchestrated by Ballard million in his third year here in Kansas Minnesota a rare return for the first time tonight as a flag flies Lindenwood will take it out to the 18 another flag thrown in as [Music] well Andre all over Kanas state in the middle of the year but a pretty favorable conference schedule and non-conference schedule don't you get the feeling with the par and the experience in this conference that this is a year where the big 12 Champion might have a couple of losses odds of getting an at llarge bid as well third down and taking off and running and spinning his way to first down yardage is Nate glance be really fun conference down the stretch and couple key matchups early in conference play as well we'll learn a lot about West Virginia this weekend when they take on pen State aim ha the catch the ti end has been active tonight up near the 30 yd line the excitement that the month of December brings at the FCS level and the selection show on Sundays as they are un nailed with the pairings certainly a great model to follow now the and that was the focus this off seon as glance throws a dart incomplete broken up on the play but a flag is down little bit premature with that contact like the Freshman picked things up so well and is bought in and is somebody that they think is adds depth to that cornerback room High floater on that screen and Jones makes the catch but Lindenwood just can't break up those screens Christian Fletcher closing down on him second down and five and a little bit of a seam opens up this will be very close to a first down looks like they're going to have enough Steve H the the ball carrier you talk about the depth and that was an area already starting a little bit under the gun and then you factor in the injuries Jed stuger told us he's never had a season like that in his double digit plus years of coach in some spots to try and get the bigger bodies and add dep in those key positions especially up front RPO there and you see glance frustrated he wanted his receiver to start working his way up field a little bit more with Ronnie Thomas gone to that a couple times on the Zone read play some pieces for the Lions to be excited about certainly yeah I think they found their guy a quarterback that they're hoping can take them to that next level little swing pass Steve Hall the catch and then yards after catch and no pick up the first down it's another example from Nate glance knows where to go with offensive coordinator Dusty horaa told us the moment he showed up he was just watching film 247 would always invite the coaches in to to watch film with him he wanted them to get Robert GI their top rusher from a season ago back next week as well nowhere to go that time Nate Lance swallowed up in the back field again it's Tristian Fletcher the first one to greet him probably a pull read reading this out to the field I think if you hand that off Cortez Jones with room to run but KU third down and five glance wanting to set the screen up now floats right trying to buy some time throws it toward the end zone but just no room to go out of bounds looking for John Anthony get John Anthony to pull back the veteran kicker smack dab the center of this pitch and the kick is on the way and it is perfect and Lindenwood is on the [Applause] board cyber good from 34 yds out looking forward to the quick Turn Around The Still Water and South Dakota State Oklahoma State this Saturday Boon Pickins Jayhawks rolling excited about his future the highly sought after recruit The Freshman out of state of Michigan Southfield Michigan but it's Paulie to bring this one home tonight first quarter and then they just uh dro the bombs on Lindenwood in that second stands and it's been all reserves here in the second half Jaylen Daniels played the entire first half 9 of 15 tomorrow when they go back and look at that tape and have something to focus us on big road trip for them coming up next week at Illinois coming into the season opener with against the physical nature that Illinois is going to bring next week in the challenges that they'll provide Good carry from The Freshman Harry Stewart III product of Frisco Centennial and for Kansas on the offensive line especially they were obviously bigger more physical third down Paulie is going to keep it and second effort will get a first down as he is Twisted ahead to the 48 highest rank Kansas player to get drafted since 2008 then arage Reed Adams transferring to Texas San in so they had three big holes to fill this off season Jeff Grimes talked about patient approach this summer with home on a Thursday night a hot muggy night from C Kansas City Kansas cutting his way through Defenders up to the 41 yd line G of six yards so Taylor coming in to tonight over 100 yards tonight then the cornerbacks getting more detailed work we hav't talked a lot about that first year here in Lawrence DK McDonald coming in with his wealth of NFL experience and really has been a riches at corner right now between those two doson with a pick six he had two of them last year and he gets one tonight what should be the final play as Paulie is cracked down at the 33 yd line Rock Chalk jhawk will be echoing through Children's Mercy stadium in a few moments Kansas kicks off this 2024 season year four for Lance Li and a 483 win over the lyen wood Lions Lindenwood playing against their first FBS opponent in their here on third down Grim in motion Daniels looking at him the entire way and it's picked off by Trey Bell a breakdown in communication and

Thompson getting a look at some offensive linemen that are still fighting for a spot that starting lineup Daryl Simmons the transfer from Iowa State opening up a hole along with Shane bumgardner the center that they brought in for Tiffany Shane bumgardner was somebody that they mentioned potential that you rotate some of these pieces in non-confidence Ballard patient throws a strike and then a hit and a flag will fly tremendous concentration as Wilson hold it in take a look at the crown of the helmet that's the piece we're really focused on it's helmet to helmet contact also looks like Eric Gant does drop that head although it looks like that angle there the left shoulder more as the leading point of contact this will be a really good angle watch the left shoulder and the head I don't know targeting a defenseless player the receiver over the middle forcible contact to the head and neck area and the indicator was that launch even though he got him with the shoulder it was that head neck area I know you don't like it not sure I think it would fit into that I'm just not sure if you're airic Gant what you're supposed to do if you can't you lead with the shoulder you make contact you avoid hitting with the crown of your helmet and you're still called for targeting the counter to that is well I guess you let him catch the ball get to the ground and then you make contact hard to play DB I do not not jealous of anybody that has to play defensive back anymore 15 yds see a lid pop off baric Gant disqualified for the remainder of this game along with the first half of week two in the secondary and Johnny Thompson who lost his helmet couple of helmets coming off juson km as well as he Sprints to the far sideline and that will bring us to the end of the third quarter a Thursday tonight A in Kansas City the j-hawks march to the fourth in control in that third quarter alongside Taylor Mard Shan Kenny with you as we begin quarter number four Balor with that touch lot of contact the flags fly he was looking for Mohler again Jaden Patrick with the contact will flank Balor to his left mhler in motion Balor rolls right throws back of the end zone he'll go right up the gut with it and a push for three yards for Johnny Thompson you mentioned Harry Stewart as well Jayhawk sideline third down and goal on that read option Ballard is going to keep it and a good open field tackle was made by Jadon Johnson the junior the former Thundering Herd from Marshall safety able to bring down [Music] the fourth down throw just shy of the goal line but the final few steps for the touchdown Doug IM million finds the endone get the end zone 11 plays 90 y yards Drive orchestrated by Ballard million in his third year here at Kansas Minnesota a rare return for the first time tonight as a flag flies lyen wood will take it out to the 18 another flag thrown in as [Music] well Andre all over state in the middle of the year but a pretty favorable conference schedule and non-conference schedule don't you get the feeling with the parody and the experience in this conference that this is a year where the big 12 Champion might have a couple of losses odds of getting an at llarge bid as well third down and taking off and running and spinning his way to first down yardage is Nate Lance be a really fun conference down the stretch and couple key matchups early in conference play as well we'll learn a lot about West Virginia this weekend when they take on Penn State a hair the catch the tight end has been active tonight up near the 30 yd line the excitement that the month of December brings at the FCS level and the selection show on Sundays as they are unveiled with the pairings certainly a great model to follow now the and that was the focus this off seon as glance throws the dart incomplete broken up on the play but a flag is down little bit premature with that contact like the Freshman pick things up so well and is bought in and is somebody that they think is adds depth to that cornerback room High floater on that screen and Jones makes the catch but Lindenwood just can't break up those screens Christian Fletcher closing down on him second down to five and a little bit of a seam opens up this will be very close to a first down looks like they're going to have enough Steve PA the the ball carrier you talk about the depth and that was an area already starting a little bit under the gun and then you factor in the injuries Jed stuger told us he's never had a season like that in his double digit plus years of coaching in some spots to try and get the bigger bodies and add depth in those key positions especially up front RPO there and you see glance frustrated he wanted his receiver to start working his way up field a little bit more with Ronnie Thomas gone to that a couple times on the Zone read play some pieces for the Lions to be excited about certainly yeah I think they found their guy at quarterback that they're hoping can take them to that next level little swing pass Steve Hall The Catch and then yards after catch and no pick up the first down it's another example from Nate glance knows where to go with offensive coordinator Dusty horaa told us the moment he showed up he was just watching film 247 would always invite the coaches in to watch film with him he wanted them to get Robert G their top rusher from a season ago back next week as well nowhere to go that time Nate Lance swallowed up in the back field again it's Tristian cletcher the first one to greet him probably a pull read he reading this out to the field I think if you hand that off Cortez Jones with room to run but KU third down and five glance wanting to set the screen up now floats right trying to buy some time throws it toward the end zone but just no room to go out of bounds looking for John Anthony get John Anthony to pull back the veteran kicker smack dab the center of this pitch and the kick is on the way and it is perfect and Lindenwood is on the [Applause] board cyber good from 34 yds out looking forward to the quick turnaround The Still Water and South Dakota State Oklahoma State this Saturday Moon Pickins Jayhawks roll excited about his future the highly sought after recruit The Freshman out of state of Michigan Southfield Michigan but it's Paulie to bring this one home tonight first quarter and then they just uh dropped the bombs on Lindenwood in that second stands and it's been all reserves here in the second half Jaylen Daniels played the entire first half 9 of 15 tomorrow when they go back and look at that tape and have something to focus on big road trip for them coming up next week at Illinois coming into the season opener with against the physical nature that Illinois is going to bring next week in the challenges that they'll provide Good carry from The Freshman Harry Stewart III product of Frisco Centennial and for Kansas on the offensive line especially they were obviously bigger more physical third down Paulie is going to keep it and second effort will get a first down as he is Twisted ahead to the 48 highest ranked Kansas player to get drafted since 2008 then armage Reed Adams transferring to Texas San in so they had three big holes to fill this off season Jeff Grimes talked about patient approach this summer with home on a Thursday night a hot muggy night from Kansas City Kansas cutting his way through Defenders up to the 41 yd line gain of six yards so Taylor coming in two tonight over 100 yards tonight then the cornerbacks getting more detailed work we haven't talk a lot about that first year here in Lawrence DK McDonald coming in with his wealth of NFL experience and really been riches a corner right now between those two doson with a pick six he had two of them last year and he gets one tonight what should be the final play as Paulie is cracked down at the 33 yd line Rock Chalk jhawk will be echoing through Children's Mercy stadium in a few moments Kansas kicks off this 2024 season year four for Lance Li and a 483 win over the lyndenwood Lions Lindenwood playing against their
