How KU — through an exotic look — tricked Rutgers’ young QB into a big mistake

Kansas safety Mike Lee gets to take all the credit for the runback.

After pulling down a second-quarter interception in KU’s 55-14 victory over Rutgers on Saturday, Lee showed off receiver-like skills, juking and diving to break three tackles on his way to a 31-yard touchdown return and the No. 6 spot on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10.

TWICE AS NICE.

The assist for the actual interception, though, should go to KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen and the Jayhawks’ defensive coaches, who took advantage of Rutgers freshman quarterback Artur Sitkowski’s inexperience with an interesting and unexpected defensive look.
