Everything Lance Leipold said after Kansas football's Week 1 win
Kansas football improved to 1-0 on the season Friday night with a 48-17 win over Missouri State. Although the final score reflected a blowout, it didn’t exactly play out like that for the Jayhawks. KU took an early 7-0 lead before a fumble and a turnover on downs led to back-to-back scores for the Bears, who took a 10-7 lead. KU scored a touchdown and a field goal to make it a 17-10 game at the break. In the second half, KU’s defense started to dominate more consistently and the offense produced as the Jayhawks went on to score 21 unanswered in the fourth quarter to take the win.
