from Luke grim and a great throw from Jaylen Daniels for another touchdown Luke Grim has been targeted frequently in this opening half five the lions with only 10 yds of offense in this second quarter glance will try to change that steps into the throw and it's caught AB hair the tied end and a first down something positive for the boys from St Charles that's the second time they've gone his offense in aine 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 Gilliam with the tackle Miller had the heat on glance it was Dean Miller again been close to the line of scrimmage working from the shadows of his own in zone man he can throw it he rips It Out Pass is caught Skinner up ahead to the 30 it's a gain of 25 yards such a quick release in the Vel really nice job by Jaylen Daniels diagnosing that uncorks another strike this time it is grim with the sliding grab no ly Kans is trying to get one more playoff before that timeout and they'll be able to do it and it's Neil with some room Devon Neil Cuts up ahead to the 31 18 more yards a touchdown saving tackle games

[Applause] 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 second and goal haaw trying to find the end zone propels his way ahead no word yet they're going to say no denied right in front of the goal line e R you the runner was up and the ball crossed the goal line a touchdown and how about the clock management by Kansas on that drive as well working with the one timeout they take it 95 358 to 107 as far as total yardage goes the first first of two games to be played here at Children's Mercy experience getting a pep talk along the sideline as we're anticipating to see a freshman here on this opening drive the j-hawks on the return take it out to the 15 yd line Cole Ballard on second down a design draw and a lot of space opens up as Balor gets catapulted up into the air Ballard on the boot leg throws and a wide open Lawrence Arnold Arnold with his second catch of the night Ballard can take off if he wants to and that's exactly what he does and he's shouldered out of bounds by Vincent King King the transfer from Northern Colorado and a late flag this will cost the lions 15 y after the play personal foul unnecessary roughness Defense number nine 15 yard penalty automatic first down just a three of the transition and 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 in the touchdowns 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 close losing the hole if they run right behind him here everybody in the Box third down and goal Morrison this time will Clow his way touchdown J [Music] Hawks really a statement coming out of half coming right at you again they three carries in a row inside the 5 yd line and this time Savon Morrison finds pay dir [Applause] 11 plays 85 yds little more than six and A2 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 M America Nazarene less than 20 Lance looking against a four-man rush trying to buy some time double clutches is now lobs and the pass is caught Jones out of the back field makes the catch and for the third time tonight Lindenwood on the key component 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 throwing the football 29 yds plus he's added 20 yards and a couple of carries they'll go right back to the air a little short underneath route Trevor Cardell with the catch tackled immediately by Ethan STL Sals that's another guy that this offensive staff talked about being really high on Trevor Cardell second down give over the right side and a big hole opens up and a first down for Johnny Thompson getting a look at some off potential 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 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 mhler again Jaden Patrick with the contact Johnny Thompson the running back he will flank B Bard to his left mhler in motion Balor rolls right throws back of the end zone second and goal for Ballard he'll go right up the gut with it and a push for three yards for Johnny Thompson jhawk sideline third down and goal on that read option Ballard is going to keep it and a good open field tackle this made by jayton Johnson the junior the former Thundering Herd from Marshall fourth down throw just shy of the goal line but the final few steps for the touchdown Doug emilion finds the end zone really nice patience throw from Co Ballard starts to fade away a little bit patient enough to throw it on time to the outside and a good job in the open field by 90 yards Drive orchestrated by Ballard million in his third year here at K odds of getting an at large bid as well third down and taking off and running and spinning his way to first down yardage is n glance with their 24 team playoff format and 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 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 focused this off season for Lindenwood they were just 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 his commit now he is year three for 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 anthon eight of 13 28 of 40 for his career 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 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 nine of 15 tonight D on both sides of the ball third down Paulie is going to keep it and second effort will get a first down as he is Twisted ahead to the 48 Yeah you mentioned that offensive line This is a unit three healthy wide receivers Grim goes for over 100 yards tonight then the cornerbacks getting more detailed work we haven't talked a lot about that first year here in Lawrence DK McDonald coming in with his wealth of NFL 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
