Overview

  • Sixth-year quarterback Jalon Daniels went 18-of-20 for 176 yards and three touchdowns, adding 47 rushing yards.
  • Transfers made immediate impacts as receiver Cam Pickett caught two touchdowns and running back Leshon Williams broke a long scoring run.
  • Kansas' defense controlled the line, holding Fresno State to 37 rushing yards on 29 carries with 10 tackles for loss and intercepting E. J. Warner twice.
  • The rebuilt on-campus venue cost about $450 million and replaces most of the 104-year-old stadium, with the east side slated for work this coming offseason.
  • The outcome aligned with pregame lines favoring Kansas by roughly two touchdowns and leads into a Friday home game vs. Wagner before a trip to Missouri.
