Kansas football: Amid rumors that Jason Bean is sick

Kansas football: Amid rumors that Jason Bean is sick Just hours before the big Guaranteed Rate Bowl kickoff, there's a buzz about a major twist in the UNLV versus Kansas football showdown. Rumors are swirling about Jayhawks' starting quarterback Jason Bean feeling under the weather this morning, coinciding with a sudden shift in the game's predicted outcome by a significant margin. DraftKings Sportsbook had been tipping the scales in KU's favor with a 12.5 to 13.5-point lead over the past week. But the narrative flipped dramatically just two hours before game time, now pegging the Jayhawks as an 8-point favorite. This shift hints at some insider knowledge brewing in Vegas, unbeknownst to the fans. Bean has led the charge in eight out of Kansas' 12 games this 2023 season, showcasing his skills with 1,681 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and a mere four interceptions. Not to mention his 259 rushing yards and three additional scores on the ground, contributing to the team's 5-2 record in games where he's been at the helm. Tonight marks Bean's final chance to don the Jayhawk jersey as he's maxed out his eligibility as a supersenior after this year. Prior to his Kansas stint, he spent three years at North Texas before making the leap when Lance Leipold assumed the head coaching role. If Bean gets benched due to medical concerns, the responsibility would fall on true freshman Cole Ballard. Ballard stepped up when Bean faced a head injury against Texas Tech and later started the Kansas State clash, displaying potential with 11-of-16 passes completed for 162 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Despite flashes of talent, the Jayhawks are yet to bag a win with Ballard at the helm. Bryson Stricker from Bleacher Report broke the news, yet sources lean towards Bean likely not sitting out the game. However, given Coach Leipold's knack for strategic play in the quarterback position, particularly with Jalon Daniels, certainty remains elusive until the Jayhawks hit the field - the true revelation of who'll take charge under center.

[prettyhennytea]

Wow, what an incredible win for the Kansas Jayhawks! Coach Lance Leipold must be overjoyed with how far his team has come. It's always inspiring to see a program that has struggled in the past achieve such a significant victory. The fans must be ecstatic, especially after enduring so many tough seasons.

Devin Neal played a crucial role in securing the win with his 112 rushing yards and go-ahead touchdown. It's impressive to see such a young player step up in such an important game. Jason Bean also deserves recognition for his performance as the starting quarterback, filling in admirably for injured Jalon Daniels.

The Jayhawks' defense should also be commended for their efforts in forcing Oklahoma to punt and giving their offense another chance to score late in the game. It was truly a team effort that led to this historic victory.

Of course, it's important not to overlook Oklahoma's accomplishments this season either. Despite this loss, they have had an outstanding year and still have plenty of opportunities ahead of them. Coach Brent Venables acknowledged that there is still much more football left to play and that they won't let one defeat define them.

Looking ahead, both teams have challenging matchups next week. Oklahoma will face off against Oklahoma State in what promises to be an intense rivalry game known as Bedlam. Meanwhile, Kansas will take on Iowa State as they continue their quest for success.

Overall, this win is not only significant for Kansas but also serves as a reminder of how unpredictable college football can be. Congratulations once again to Coach Leipold and the entire Jayhawks team on this remarkable achievement!

Kansas football will monitor the health of quarterback Jalon Daniels

LAWRENCE — The process that will aim to ensure Jalon Daniels’ body is healthy for the 2023 season is ongoing. In the past week, Kansas football head coach Lance Leipold said they will monitor how much their junior quarterback throws the ball during spring practice. It’s a revelation that highlights, once again, the shoulder injury that forced Daniels to miss four games last season. And not long…

2021 Top Games of the Week: Week 2

The football season started off with a bang. Week 2 is usually a step back in terms of excitement and this year is no different.

The Top Ten Games of the Week

10. Appalachian State at #22 Miami FL (Saturday, Sept 11)

It wouldn’t be the highest rated team App State has beaten.

9. Kansas at #17 Coastal Carolina (Friday, Sept 10)

Ok this isn’t really a top game in a few ways, but hey go watch your local team if you don’t care about this one. Coastal Carolina could very well repeat a perfect regular season. Kansas is once again the only P5 team standing in their way.

8. Air Force at Navy (Saturday, Sept 11)

We’ll see about this one. I like to highlight rivalry games if there isn’t anything super interesting going on, but Navy looked pretty bad against Marshall last week. We’ll see if the Midshipmen can make some adjustments. Air Force now has the longest drought holding the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. They need a win here if they don’t want to make it a fifth straight year without bringing home the brass.

7. Washington at Michigan (Saturday, Sept 11)

Alright now we’re really gonna see how bad Washington is. The Huskies were embarrassed at home by FCS Montana and now have to travel to the Big House.

6. #5 Texas A&M at Colorado (Saturday, Sept 11)

A cute reunion between former Big 12 conference-mates. Texas A&M should by all rights blow the doors off Colorado, but hey, it’s cool to see the uniforms playing again.

5. Stanford at #14 USC (Saturday, Sept 11)

I would have been excited for this game if Stanford hadn’t come out of the gate with a compete faceplant against Kansas State. If the Cardinal can’t figure out their QB their whole season could be toast. Oh yeah, and with Oregon looking vulnerable USC can build some momentum in the PAC-12 race.

4. #15 Texas at Arkansas (Saturday, Sept 11)

It’s not completely sexy but the quality is improving! Former Southwest Conference rivals square off in an intense reunion. Texas passed their first test with a comfortable win over Louisiana last week. Arkansas was able to beat Rice in another SWC reunion, but they looked incredibly weak in the process.

3. #21 Utah at BYU (Saturday, Sept 11)

We likely missed an incredible Holy War iteration in 2020. Hopefully the 2021 squads can recapture some of the magic. Utah and BYU both have a lot to play for and especially want to test themselves against their archrival.

2. #12 Oregon at #3 Ohio State (Saturday, Sept 11)

Man, this could have been a lot more exciting. I mean it still could be, Ohio State after all didn’t look incredibly impressive against Minnesota for a while. But oh boy did Oregon look worse. The Ducks came very close to losing to Fresno State at home in Week 1. The Buckeyes are obviously a huge step up in terms of quality, it could be a tough scene for the Ducks.

1. #10 Iowa at #9 Iowa State (Saturday, Sept 11)

I can’t believe it, after all these years I finally get to put the Cy-Hawk Game in the #1 slot. We did it.

-

5 G5 Games of the Week

5. Houston at Rice (Saturday, Sept 11)

Houston is a favorite, sure, but not by much!

4. Memphis at Arkansas State (Saturday, Sept 11)

The Paint Bucket Bowl is one of those lesser-known rivalry games that has some great history and intrigue. It doesn’t hurt that Memphis and Arkansas State have finally both been competent for the past 10 years.

3. Vanderbilt at Colorado State (Saturday, Sept 11)

I’m sure Vanderbilt felt more confident about this one back when it was inked. Vanderbilt is awful and we might very well see an SEC team lose to a bad Mountain West squad.

2. San Diego State at Arizona (Saturday, Sept 11)

One of the G5′s best giant slayers is once again on the hunt. San Diego State is looking to add yet another PAC-12 scalp to their trophy case. The Aztecs have beaten over half of the league in the past 15 years and now UA gets their turn.

1. Buffalo at Nebraska (Saturday, Sept 11)

If this was last year I think Buffalo beats Nebraska straight up. Lance Leipold, most of his assistants, and many of Buffalo’s best players have left. And yet...

-

FCS Games of the Week

5. #10 Weber State at Dixie State (Saturday, Sept 11)

A budding rivalry might be developing between Weber State and new FCS squad Dixie State. The two Utah universities are now battling for the same recruits and resources and have decided to settle things on the football field.

4. #21 Northern Iowa at Sacramento State (Saturday, Sept 11)

Northern Iowa is attempting to reassert themselves in a crowded MVFC field, but a dangerous trip to Sacramento State might jeopardize their hopes early.

3. #19 Central Arkansas at #23 Missouri State (Saturday, Sept 11)

Non-conference play brings us a fun Ozarks match. Oh yeah, and Bobby Petrino is on the sideline for some reason.

2. #9 North Dakota at Utah State (Friday, Sept 10)

This is more of a game than I thought it would be last week. Utah State survived Washington State, meaning they probably can beat North Dakota. I’m not convinced until they do it.

1. #22 Kennesaw State at Georgia Tech (Saturday, Sept 11)

New FCS Playoff regular Kennesaw State travels to Atlanta to face a Georgia Tech squad that might still be really bad.

Buffalo: 2019 Bahamas Bowl Champions

The Buffalo Bulls picked up their first bowl win in program history Friday with a 31-9 victory over the Charlotte 49ers in the 2019 Bahamas Bowl, the first game of college football's 2019-20 bowl season.

Buffalo fell short in its first three postseason appearances, including a 42-32 loss to the Troy Trojans in last year's Dollar General Bowl. UB bounced back from a 2-4 start this season by winning five of its last six regular-season games, and it capped the turnaround by beating the Niners.

Charlotte was playing in the program's first bowl game. Like the Bulls, the 49ers opened the campaign in lackluster form en route to a 2-5 record, but they stormed back to win five straight games to become bowl eligible. It's the team's first winning season since joining the FBS level in 2015.

Notable Game Stats

QB Kyle Vantrease (UB): 8-of-17 passing, 77 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT; rushing TD

QB Chris Reynolds (UNCC): 15-of-24 passing, 203 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

RB Jaret Patterson (UB): 173 rushing yards, 2 TD

RB Benny LeMay (UNCC): 45 rushing yards

WR Antonio Nunn (UB): 53 receiving yards, 1 TD

WR Victor Tucker (UNCC): 61 receiving yards, 1 TD

DL Malcolm Koonce (UB): 5 tackles, 2 sacks

LB James Patterson (UB): 3 tackles, 1 INT

DB Marquavis Gibbs (UNCC): 9 tackles, 1 INT

Lance Leipold Could Generate Interest From Power 5 Schools

Leipold, who became the Bulls' head coach in 2015, may not be a household name, but those within the college football community are keenly aware of his accomplishments.

ESPN ranked him as the 78th-best coach in the 150-year history of college football last week, in large part because of his success at the Division III level. He led the Wisconsin-Whitewater Warhawks, his alma mater, to a 109-6 record and six national championships in eight years beginning in 2007.

"I'm very humbled and flattered to be mentioned in that company," Leipold said of the ranking. "It is truly the work of the student-athletes, assistant coaches and staff members that I have been blessed to work with that makes something like this occur."

It took the 55-year-old former quarterback a couple of years to right the ship in Buffalo. The Bulls posted a 7-17 record over his first two seasons in charge.

Since then, UB has gone 24-15 with a pair of bowl appearances and now a postseason win. Last year marked the first 10-win season in program history.

The fact Buffalo managed to remain competitive in 2019 despite a long list of departures, led by quarterback Tyree Jackson, wide receiver Anthony Johnson and linebacker Khalil Hodge, is a testament to the foundation Leipold has built in Western New York.

Athletic directors around the country are surely taking notice too. As soon as the coaching carousel starts spinning again following bowl season, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Leipold's name pop up in the rumor mill in connection to some Power 5 jobs.

His championship pedigree from Wisconsin-Whitewater and his recent success at Buffalo suggests he'd be a strong choice to help rebuild a high-profile program.

Charlotte Program Moving in Right Direction Despite Loss

Building a football program from scratch is an uphill battle. That's the challenge Charlotte has faced since 2013, when it joined the FCS ranks before getting elevated to FBS two years later as part of Conference USA.

Since the 49ers don't have the history or tradition associated with most teams around the country, they've had to get creative in order to attract recruits and become competitive.

First-year head coach Will Healy and director of football relations Carter Crutchfield worked to create Club Lit��a dance floor inside the locker room to reward wins.

"That was one of the goals when we got here, is it's all about branding," Crutchfield told ESPN's David M. Hale. "People only know what you tell them. You're in the city of Charlotte, we have so much to sell, but we had to find an identity. Club Lit really turned into a viral thing."

It's unique, and it's the type of gimmick that can help swing the decision of an undecided recruit in their favor. That's crucial when you can't point to a truckload of trophies in a case outside the locker room.

The sample size is small, but Healy guided the Niners to a seven-win season after they posted no better than a 5-6 mark over its first six years and they're just two years removed from a 1-11 campaign.

Charlotte will lose a couple of key seniors in LeMay, its leading rusher, and defensive end Alex Highsmith, who entered bowl season tied for second in the country with 14 sacks.

That said, there's a lot of talent set to return for 2020, including quarterback Chris Reynolds, his top two targets in Victor Tucker and Cameron Dollar and linebacker Markees Watts.

It sets the stage for the 49ers to take another step forward next year.

What's Next?

Buffalo is set to open the 2020 campaign with a road trip to face the Big 12's Kansas State Wildcats at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Sept. 5.

Charlotte will also begin next season Sept. 5 by visiting the SEC's Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium.

Four fumbles cost Buffalo in Dollar General Bowl as Troy celebrates third-straight bowl victory

Four fumbles cost Buffalo in Dollar General Bowl as Troy celebrates third-straight bowl victory

Buffalo (10-4) had a case of fumblitis in the Dollar General Bowl Saturday night, and it cost them. The Bulls were defeated by Troy (10-3), 42-32, as the Bulls fumbled the football six times, losing four.

In the third quarter, Troy managed to pull off the kind of feat you are probably more likely to see from a triple-option offense like Army. The Trojans managed to keep the Buffalo offense off…

College football odds Week 7: How to bet Kansas-Oklahoma, pick

Kansas coach Lance Leipold said Daniels is “doubtful” because of a should injury amid an unconfirmed report he will miss the rest of the season. The Sooners have won 17 in a row over…

Kansas head coach Lance Leipold stands along with his group earlier than enjoying TCU in a sport Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021, in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU received 31-28. Ron Jenkins AP Jalen Dye, a 6-foot, 185-pound defensive again from Palomar College in San Marcos, California — and the son of former Kansas City Royals outfielder Jermaine Dye — has dedicated to play soccer on the University of Kansas. Jalen Dye made the announcement Wednesday night time on Twitter. According to Jayhawkslant.com, Dye, who can have three years of eligibility remaining at KU, additionally had been supplied a scholarship by Colorado State and UNLV. He began his profession at Arizona State earlier than transferring to Palomar. He performed highschool soccer at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego. His brother, Devin, additionally performs defensive again for Palomar College. “First and foremost I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability, the talent and the opportunity to continue to play at the next level,” Dye, a first-team Pacific Coast Athletic Conference choice, wrote on Twitter. “Second, I want to thank my family and all my coaches for always having my best interest at heart along with their constant support. With that being said, I will be committing to the University of Kansas.” Before arriving for his Tuesday-Wednesday go to to KU, Jalen Dye informed Jayhawkslant.com he was “extremely blessed to receive this offer (of scholarship given on May 17). My coaches did a great job putting my film in front of coaches. The (KU) coaches really liked how versatile I am and that I could play all three positions corner, strong safety, and free safety.” Of Dye, who final season had 52 tackles and 4 interceptions, Jon Kirby of Jayhawkslant.com wrote: “One thing I like about him is the ability to move around in the defensive backfield. He could project as a safety or corner which makes him very unique. The thing I like best about him is his aggressiveness. If you watch his film he beelines right to the ball carrier and he is physical.” Jermaine Dye commented on his son’s dedication to KU on Twitter: “Congrats son! All your hard work is paying off. Continue to strive to be the best. #RockChalk.” Related tales from Wichita Eagle Gary Bedore covers all points of Kansas basketball for The Star — the present group in addition to former gamers and coaches and recruiting.
