Kansas Rolls Long Island University 51-6
Kansas opened the season with 613 yards, 51 points and seven touchdowns, and I have to mention the first one failed a two-point try (so the Jayhawks started 6-0 and went from there). The final was 51-6.
Yasin Willis got the first touchdown on a 5-yard run, and by halftime he had his second, a 10-yarder, with Martin Connington's 32-yard field goal in between and Jalen Dupree's 3-yard run right after. Nik McMillan's 19-yard catch from Isaiah Marshall with 57 seconds left in the second quarter made it 30-0, and Tate Nagy's 6-yard catch in the third made it 37-0. Micah Johnson and Donald Collier added fourth-quarter runs. Long Island University's offense got two Will Johnson field goals, 39 yards each, in the fourth quarter.
Kansas ran 51 times for 277 yards and threw for 336, with one lost fumble and three sacks on defense. Marshall was 14 of 19 for 246 yards and two touchdowns and picked up 49 more on the ground. McMillan caught six passes for 130 yards.
Kansas is 1-0 and Long Island University is 0-1. Fantasy-wise, Marshall (26.7), McMillan (25.0) and Willis (19.2) were the three to own.
Kansas led 30-0 at the half and 37-0 entering the fourth, so the last quarter was mostly Micah Johnson and Donald Collier running in short scores and Will Johnson making both of his 39-yard tries. It is a week-one score and I would not carve it in stone, but 613 yards is 613 yards, and it came with only one turnover.
