Kansas spring game: QBs Carter Stanley, Peyton Bender in tight battle
The QB competition may rage through the offseason at Kansas.
The Jayhawks scored three touchdowns in 90 minutes of running-clock play Saturday, as quarterbacks Carter Stanley and Peyton Bender appeared to exit spring practice in much the same order as they entered it -- locked in a tight battle.
Stanley, the sophomore who started the final three games last year, including the Jayhawks’ overtime win over Texas, threw for 114 yards on 13-of-24 passing in the spring game. Bender, the junior transfer and who began his career at Washington State, connected on 11 of 15 throws for 143 yards and two scores.
Bender’s Team Jayhawks won 14-7.
