When Kansas football’s defense collapsed in the second half, the Jayhawks were unable to recover, falling 47-14 to Baylor in Waco.

What looked like an impressive start from the Jayhawks turned into a defense and special teams nightmare for Kansas football head coach Les Miles. The Jayhawks opened the game with the first score of the evening but surrendered themselves to a mess of defensive and special teams mishaps.

The Jayhawks pulled a bold move Saturday night, starting true freshman quarterback Jalon Daniels. The Californian threw for an impressive 172 passing yards despite issues with the Jayhawks’ offensive line in the second half.
