  09/28/20 - QB Jalon DanielsrJr/2026, Kansas

  Kansas football coach Les Miles started and stuck with true freshman quarterback Jalon Daniels in the Jayhawks' 47-14 loss at Baylor. Nevertheless, KU's quarterback situation going forward remained more murky than transparent late Saturday night. If an injury to senior QB Thomas MacVittie, who started and subbed in and out during the Jayhawks' loss to Coastal Carolina, opened the door for Daniels, Miles wouldn't say. The head coach instead pointed to the talents the young QB displayed during practices when asked why Daniels got the starting job. "You probably saw his arm. You didn't see the highlights of his arm," Miles said. "We know the highlights he is capable of producing."

A 6-foot, 200-pound freshman from Lawndale, Calif., Daniels finished 19-for-33 passing in his first career start, throwing for 159 yards, without any touchdowns or interceptions - though some good fortune kept a couple of errant throws out of the possession of BU defenders, who were credited with six pass breakups. The Bears also sacked the young QB four times on the night. While Miles stated during his postgame video press conference he wasn't "displeased" with Daniels "in any way," KU's head coach didn't commit to starting the freshman again next week, when the Jayhawks face Oklahoma State in Lawrence. Miles at least said Daniels "could" start the next game. - Lawrence Journal World
