KANSAS JAYHAWKS (1-1)
● Of course, Kansas will probably need to bring some answers on defense. The Jayhawks are smarting from a 45-27 thrashing from visiting Central Michigan last week. The Chippewas rolled up 590 yards of offense, including 467 yards and five touchdowns through the air.
● Junior quarterback Peyton Bender completed 32 of 62 passes (51.6%) against CMU, but he did not throw a touchdown after tossing four the previous week in a 38-16 win over Southeast Missouri State. Bender owned two interceptions in each game.
● Senior tight end Ben Johnson is the leading Kansas receiver, with 10 catches for 147 yrds and a score.
● Freshman Dom Williams (5-10, 190) is the Jayhawks top rusher with 28 carries totaling 105 yards (3.8 ypc) with three touchdowns. He also owns five receptions for 42 total yards.
