Freshman Khalil Herbert continues to look sharp running the ball. He bounced his way to 34 yards and a rushing touchdown.
Defensive end Dorance Armstrong had an eight-yard sack among his four tackles.
Center Joe Gibson was fooled by a Baylor defender calling out the snap count and snapped the ball when Ryan Willis had no clue it was coming. Baylor recovered at the Kansas 4. One play later, Baylor led, 35-0, with 5:49 left in the second quarter.
Too often telegraphing his throws, Willis threw three interceptions.

Game Balls
Ryan Willis: Maintained poise despite heavy pressure and put several long throws on the money. With two beautiful, perfectly placed long spirals, Willis turned a third-and-17 from the KU 42 into a game-tying touchdown on his first series as a starting quarterback.
Cameron Rosser: Walk-on linebacker from Las Vegas who stood out in the spring game recovered a punt that bounced off a returner’s leg.
Gassers
Taylor Cox: Ran hard in his season debut but fumbled twice.
Jeremiah Booker: Showed talent with three catches for 39 yards but had costly pass interference penalty that nullified great pass play on which Willis and Kent Taylor teamed.
