Kansas Rallies from 11 Down to Edge Baylor 25-24
Kansas missed two two-point conversions in the fourth quarter and still won, which tells you how much ground it had to make up. The Jayhawks were down 21-10 after three quarters, and they beat Baylor 25-24 on Isaiah Marshall's 15-yard touchdown run with 1:13 left.
It started even enough. Marshall hit Carson Bruhn for 22 yards in the first quarter, and Dawson Pendergrass answered from a yard out for 7-7. Then came the swing. Devon Jordan returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown early in the third to make it 14-7, and after a Martin Connington field goal, DJ Lagway found Jayden McGowan from eight yards for 21-10. Take away that pick-six and Baylor is at 17 for the day, with a lot less cushion.
The fourth quarter was all Kansas, mostly. Nik McMillan's 34-yard catch from Marshall made it 21-16 (the two-point try failed), and Connington kicked a 42-yard field goal to make it 21-19. Baylor's Rhett Armstrong kicked a 42-yarder with 2:40 left to go up 24-19. Then Marshall scored with 1:13 to go, another failed conversion, and the Jayhawks led by one. Kansas outscored Baylor 15-3 in the fourth.
Kansas outgained Baylor 429 yards to 358, running for 217 of them. Baylor sacked Marshall five times, and Kansas threw two interceptions to Baylor's one, so the Jayhawks were not exactly clean. Baylor is 4-3 and Kansas is 3-4, so the Bears lost a game they led by 11 and the Jayhawks stay under .500.
Fantasy takeaway: Marshall had 29.6 Promethium points, and those two missed conversions cost nothing in the end.
