Kansas freshman running back Amauri Pesek-Hickson pushes through White team defenders in the first quarter of Saturday's spring game scrimmage at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence.

Last weekend, Kansas Football’s spring game gave us our first look at this fall’s team. The defense won in dominating fashion 74-42 to secure the comedically large trophy.

The defense dominated, with 21 tackles-for-loss, 6 sacks, and 3 interceptions.
