The Day’s Best
ZACH LUJAN The season opener against Kansas meant almost everything to South Dakota State’s junior quarterback, who played for the first time Saturday without his grandmother watching from the stands.
Lujan threw for 293 yards and three touchdowns, and the Jackrabbits spoiled the debut of Kansas Coach David Beaty with a 41-38 road victory over the Jayhawks.
“This one’s for her,” Lujan said of his grandmother, who died a week ago.
WILLIAM LIKELY The junior returned eight punts for 233 yards, breaking a Big Ten single-game record that had stood for 76 years, in host Maryland’s 50-21 rout of Richmond.
