For those that only saw the final score and weren’t able to watch the game (thanks, ACC Network), the 19-point Duke win didn’t tell the whole story.
In fact, the first half was pretty fun, with Kansas putting up 24 points and taking a three-point lead into halftime. Torry Locklin had two touchdowns in the half – a 20-yard touchdown catch followed by a 36-yard rushing TD just six game minutes later – and the defense took advantage of early Duke turnovers.
But even from the start, it felt like Kansas was missing an opportunity. Ra’Mello Dotson had the first Kansas interception of the year and took it all the way into the Duke redzone, but the Jayhawks were unable to turn it into points after a missed field goal attempt.
