Chase Jenkins threw a pair of touchdown passes and Rice shut out UAB in the second half for a 24-17 victory on Saturday. UAB had possession at its 44 but Ryder Burton was sacked on third-and-5 and then threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-12 with 1:42 left. The Blazers did get the ball back with 50 seconds left, but stalled near midfield before time expired.

Jenkins' 23-yard touchdown pass to Tyson Thompson knotted it at 7 midway through the first quarter, and his 3-yard TD pass to Aaron Turner made it 21-17 midway through the third. Jenkins completed 11 of 15 passes for 41 yards. Quinton Jackson had 81 yards rushing on 22 carries for Rice (5-5, 2-4 American Conference). D'Andre Hardeman Jr. also had a touchdown run for the Owls. Burton was 18-of-34 passing for 213 yards and threw two touchdown passes for UAB (3-6, 1-4). Iverson Hooks caught six passes for 89 yards with a touchdown.

Kansas State running back Dylan Edwards has left the Wildcats and is expected to enter the transfer portal, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

11/01/25 - Jalon Daniels, rSr/2026, Kansas, 6-0, 219 (DS#30 QB) + More +

Jalon Daniels led four second-half touchdown drives as Kansas overcame a sluggish first half to trounce Oklahoma State 38-21 on Saturday. Kansas (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) snapped a two-game losing streak. "We (only) had 10 points (in the first half), but we scored on both possessions," Kansas coach Lance Leipold said. "We just didn't get off the field. It was a very fast first half. "I think we established a little better running game in the second half, that gave us the balance that we needed." Daniels said it was just a matter of sticking with the game plan, and a fierce effort by the offensive line. "Hats off to big old offensive linemen," Daniels said. "They played a pivotal role in today's game. Then the running backs doing everything that they can to gain every single inch, every single yard. And I think that just goes to show the resilience of our team." Zane Flores was 22-of-28 passing for 235 yards and two touchdowns for Oklahoma State (1-8, 0-6 Big 12), which lost its eighth straight game and 15th straight Big 12 game.

"It's hard to pinpoint a moment when it went bad," Oklahoma State interim coach Doug Meacham said. "It could be the field goal block (at the end of the first half). We could have gone in with some momentum. It's just that fine of a line. "What we have to do a better job of is when things don't go the way we want them to, we have to put them to bed." Kansas took the second-half kickoff and went 75 yards in 10 plays to open up a two-score lead. Daniels hit Boden Groen in the back of the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown. After an OSU three-and-out, Daniels found Bryson Canty for a 5-yard touchdown pass and a 24-7 lead. A Flores-to-Gavin Freeman's 10-yard touchdown pass drew the Cowboys within 24-14, but Kansas answered with 3-yard and 5-yard touchdown runs by Daniel Hishaw Jr. and Leshon Williams, respectively. - Kansas/AP College Football

09/27/25 - Dylan Edwards, Jr/2027, Kansas, 5-09, 170 (DS#6 RB) + More +

Avery Johnson threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns, Dylan Edwards ran for 166 yards and another score, and Kansas State held on to beat UCF 34-20 on Saturday for its first Big 12 win of the season. Johnson also ran for 75 yards, and the Wildcats (2-3, 1-1) piled up 268 yards on the ground, while their defense made a critical fourth-down stop with just over 4 minutes left after the Knights (3-1, 0-1) had closed to within 31-20. Tayven Jackson, who missed a chunk of the game with an injury, returned to throw for 115 yards for UCF, which had won its last 16 games under Scott Frost dating to his first tenure with the program. Myles Montgomery had 119 yards rushing. Kansas State has never lost to UCF in three meetings.

The Knights were rolling off a 34-9 rout of North Carolina, but Kansas State must have had plenty of time to scout them during their bye. The Wildcats shut down the UCF offense even before Jackson got hurt with 10:48 left in the first half. UCF finally got a big play moments later, when Brown hit DJ Black down the sideline. Kansas State's Wesley Fair missed a tackle, and the resulting 82-yard TD reception was the longest by a Knights player since Doug Gabriel's 83-yarder in 2001. But the Wildcats answered with a 73-yard touchdown march, and Will Anciaux's catch gave them a 17-7 lead at the break. Not much changed after halftime. Brown and the Knights went three-and-out to start the third quarter, and Kansas State added to the lead with another long touchdown drive. And when Jackson's surprising return sparked the UCF offense, Brown came in to run a sneak on fourth down, and the backup quarterback promptly fumbled the ball away. Edwards added a 75-yard touchdown run later in the third quarter, helping to put the game out of UCF's reach. - Kansas State/AP College Football

Jalon Daniels threw three touchdown passes, Emmanuel Henderson returned a kickoff 94 yards for a TD, and Kansas beat Virginia 41-10 on Saturday night in the Big 12 opener for both teams. Leshon Williams had 19 carries for 129 yards, which included a 62-yard TD to cap the scoring and added a 39-yard touchdown reception, which was set up by a 43-yard kickoff return by Henderson. After forcing a three-and-out on West Virginia's first drive, Daniels threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Levi Wentz. Daniels also hit Boden Groen for a 7-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Laith Marjan kicked a 42-yard field goal early in the second quarter and a 44-yarder as time expired in the first half before Henderson caught the opening kickoff in the third quarter at the 6, eluded a pair of would-be tacklers at the 20 and 25 before racing to the end zone to make it 27-3. Daniels was 12-of-24 passing for 138 yards. The Jayhawks (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) finished 242 yards rushing - 69 by Daniels on five carries - and forced the game's only two turnovers. Nicco Marchiol was 15-of-27 passing for 126 yards with an interception for West Virginia (2-2). Mountaineers back-up quarterback Jaylen Henderson scored on a 13-yard run in the fourth quarter. Kade Hensley kicked a 26-yard field goal in the second quarter. - Kansas/AP College Football

09/18/25 - Chase Jenkins, rSo/2028, Kansas, 6-0, 191 (DS#25 QB) + More +

Chase Jenkins threw for a touchdown and ran for another, Daelen Alexander rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns, and Rice beat Charlotte 28-17 on Thursday night in an American Conference opener for both teams. Rice has opened a season 3-1 for the first time since 2001, when the Owls won six of the first seven. Scott Abell is the first coach to have three wins in his first four games of a career at Rice since Bo Hagan in 1967. Jenkins was 8-of-11 passing for 87 yards, and he carried it 10 times for 71 yards. Quinton Jackson added 80 yards on the ground.

Charlotte's first touchdown came with 7:27 left in the fourth quarter after Grayson Loftis' 31-yard connection with Javen Nicholas. A successful two-point conversion capped the scoring. Rice had a key sack on each of Charlotte's final two possessions to help seal it. Loftis was 15 of 31 for 186 yards for Charlotte (1-3). Liam Boyd went 3 of 4 on field-goal attempts, with a long of 40. Conner Harrell, who threw for 382 yards last week in a win over Monmouth, was 8 of 13 for 73 yards. Last season, Charlotte rallied for a 21-20 win at Rice Stadium after driving 77 yards in less than a minute to score a touchdown with 47 seconds left in the game. - Rice/AP College Football

Chase Jenkins completed 10 of his 16 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 124 yards and another score, as Rice defeated Prairie View A&M 38-17 on Saturday night. After Prairie View scored the first touchdown, the Owls (2-1) scored 31 consecutive points to take a commanding lead early in the third quarter. Aaron Turner scored on a 52-yard dash to start the second quarter. Jenkins and Landon Ransom-Goelz connected on a 34-yard passing touchdown early in the third quarter.

Drew Devillier took over for Jenkins in the fourth, and threw his first career touchdown pass to Tyson Thompson. The Panthers scored both the first and last touchdowns of the game. Tevin Carter had one rushing and one passing touchdown, with 65 yards on the ground on 15 attempts. The two programs have met twice before and Rice has won both games, most recently in 2018. - Rice/AP College Football

Jalon Daniels threw for 280 yards and four touchdowns despite playing just one drive in the second half and Kansas easily defeated Wagner 46-7 on Friday night. Emmanuel Henderson hauled in six of Daniels' passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas (2-0). Daniel Hishaw rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown, all in the first half.

Kansas outgained Wagner 623-143, including 285-53 on the ground and 346-90 through the air. The Jayhawks had 32 first downs, compared to just six for Wagner. But Kansas was not flawless. The Jayhawks had the game's only two turnovers, and both of those came in the red zone. They were just 4 of 10 on third down. The Kansas defense did its part, limiting Wagner to just one drive of more than 20 yards. Jack Stevens was 13 of 20 for 90 yards and a touchdown for Wagner (0-1). No Seahawks runner gained more than 25 yards on the ground. - Kansas/AP College Football

Sixth-year senior Jalon Daniels threw for 176 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to newcomer Cam Pickett, and Kansas opened its rebuilt, $450 million on-campus stadium with a 31-7 rout of Fresno State on Saturday. Daniels finished 18 of 20 while running for 47 yards, and Iowa transfer Leshon Williams had a long touchdown run, helping the Jayhawks pile up nearly 400 yards of total offense and win their fifth consecutive season-opener. "I thought he had great leadership. He was in command. He didn't get rattled, made people miss and made the throws," Kansas coach Lance Leipold said of his quarterback. "Just everything you want in that, and you've seen him play. He just seemed really confident in what's going on. And that's what you need out of an experienced quarterback." E.J. Warner had 179 yards passing with two interceptions for Fresno State. Elijah Gilliam had a touchdown run.

This one had all the pomp and circumstance of a homecoming - and, well, it was one after the Jayhawks spent all of last season playing home games at stadiums in the Kansas City area. In the meantime, their 104-year-old stadium was razed and the majority of it was rebuilt, with only the east side where the students sit awaiting a facelift this coming offseason. Then the Jayhawks got busy as they seek to rebound from a 5-7 finish a year ago. - Kansas/AP College Football

Devin Neal ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns on eight first-half carries and No. 22 Kansas beat Lindenwood 48-3 on Thursday night in the opener for both teams. Kansas outscored Lindenwood 27-0 in the second quarter at Children's Mercy Park. Lindenwood, in its third year as an FCS program, played its first game against an FBS opponent. Jalon Daniels, who played only in the first half for Kansas, was 9 of 15 for 148 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Jayhawks are playing home games in Kansas City - two at Children's Mercy Park and four at Arrowhead Stadium - because of stadium renovations.

Lindenwood averted a shutout with a 34-yard field goal by Logan Seibert with 6:12 left. After forcing a three-and-out on Lindenwood's first series, Kansas marched 65 yards in nine plays for its first touchdown. Neal punched it in from the 5. Kansas had to convert a fourth-and-3 on the drive. But that's all the offense Kansas could muster in the first quarter. Lindenwood ran 20 plays in the first quarter, compared to just 12 for Kansas, and the Lions held the ball for almost 10 minutes. - AP College Football
