Kansas Jayhawks

The Kansas Jayhawks take on the Duke Blue Devils today in a battle of the unbeatens.

I'll be giving updates live throughout the game here, so make sure you check back frequently. You can also follow live updates on the Blue Wings Rising and Rock Chalk Podcast Twitter accounts, and join the conversation in our Discord server.

2:15pm: Pretty much everything that could go against Kansas did there, but an incomplete 4th and 7 pass gives Kansas the win.

2:13pm: TERRIBLE call on a late hit out of bounds. He was clearly still inbounds with both feet. Even Oklahoma State fans agree.

2:10pm: Kansas doesn't convert and punts the ball, downed at the five. But there are a lot of not happy Kansas fans online.

2:06pm: More nervous energy in the stadium, but Duke kicks the onside kick attempt out of bounds.

2:03pm: The stadium is hyped up during this timeout. The fans are doing everything they can to help.

1:58pm: Kansas is trying to put a bow on this one. Up by two scores with 4 minutes left, Cobee Bryant gets a third down stop and the stadium is LOUD for the 4th down play.

They absolutely lose it when Dotson gets called for pass interference.

1:55pm: Daniels runs in a touchdown this time and has 5 touchdowns for the second straight game.

1:54pm: Skinner got spun around as he made a big catch, and we all were like Nick here:

1:50pm: Big offensive plays from the Jayhawks. These reactions are now normal.

1:43pm: Duke making this one a little tighter than the fans would like. You can feel the tension in the building, which is a huge improvement.

1:27pm: The Kansas offensive line has finally allowed a sack, as Duke takes Daniels down for a four yard loss late in the 3rd quarter.

1:24pm: This stadium is electric! Huge roar as they convert another 3rd and long for a first down.

1:20pm: Big hit by Marvin Grant was reviewed for potential targeting, but they ruled it was a legal hit. Duke punts and Kansas has a chance to put this one out of reach.

1:09pm: That was an absolute strike from Daniels to Lawrence Arnold. 

1:08pm: Good news for Kansas.

1:04pm: The stadium erupted there, as Kansas stops Duke on 4th and inches.

12:54pm: The stadium is ready to explode after a controversial call gives Duke a first down by penalty.

12:45pm: Getting ready for the second half. Hype tape got a similar reaction coming into half that it did at the start of the game.

12:26pm: Duke has come close to turning it over a few times today, but Kansas hasn't been able to cash in. Duke kicks a field goal to get within 8 with 3 seconds left.

12:18pm: Not sure if his day is done, but Devin Neal is going back to the locker room early before the half.

12:14pm: Luke Grimm's 4th catch gives the Jayhawks another touchdown, but that pass has other fanbases swooning:

12:11pm: Seems like the stadium isn't the only place seeing a lot more excitement.

12:06pm: Kansas gets the defensive stop, holding Duke to just a field goal. Kansas has the ball back to try and score again before half.

12:03pm: Dotson already back in, but some minor dings are happening across the roster. Nothing to worry about right now it seems.

11:57am: Couple of injuries to watch. Mello Dotson came off after a big hit. Devin Neal was in the medical tent after the last offensive drive. And DJ Withers came off during the drive as well.

11:50am: Here is that amazing touchdown catch and run:

11:48am: Daniel Hishaw runs through some people to get to the end zone on a ridiculous 73-yard touchdown reception.

There were lots of reactions:

11:45am: The run has been pretty easy for Kansas, but this crowd seems to be on edge for a big passing play. Same for the TV crowd.

11:43am: A dangerous pass bouncing around in the secondary falls incomplete. Kansas has the ball back still tied at 7.

11:36am: Neal fumbled. Duke takes over. No energy in the stadium as the first quarter ends.

11:31am: Kardell got a career-first on the Kansas touchdown drive:

11:30am: Quick drive by Duke down the field to score has sucked some energy out of the stadium. 

11:25am: Stadium is pretty full right now. Only section with chunks of empty seats is right behind the touchdown club, which isn't sold since you can't see the field.

11:21am: Some fantastic blocking is followed up by some misdirection, and the Jayhawks score first! Trevor Kardell caught a 6-yard TD pass from Jalon Daniels.

11:15am: Kansas defense holds strong, and Duke goes three-and-out. OJ Burroughs with the punt return to the Kansas 43. The crowd is pumped up.

11:09am: Kansas drove down the field with ease, but stalled on 1st and goal.  Neal ruled short on the 4th down run from the 1, and the crowd is NOT happy.

11:02am: Duke wins the toss and defers to the second half. Crowd is amped up as we get ready for kickoff.

10:57am: Big cheer for Tony Sands as he comes to raise the flag during the pregame ceremony. Hype tape on the big screen is getting some big cheers.

10:50am: Seats are filling up as the band finishes their pregame. Will still have some empty seats at kickoff, but it is much fuller than I've seen it in a while.

 

10:35am: Kansas is out on the field wearing all red uniforms with white helmets. Duke is in all white. Should be a clean look on the broadcast.
