It was a successful homecoming for the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday, with the team racing away with a 31-7 win over Fresno State, in the team's first game back at the remodeled David Booth Memorial Stadium.

 

Jalon Daniels was sensational in his season debut, completing 90% of his passes for more than 220 total yards of offense and three touchdown passes. The Jayhawks ran the ball effectively as well, with the team rushing for 207 yards on the evening.

 

The KU defense came ready to play in the opener, forcing two interceptions and a fumble from Fresno State quarterback E.J. Warner. The Jayhawks also held the Bulldogs to just 37 yards rushing on 29 carries.

 

It's positive momentum for a KU program that struggled mightily in the non-conference last season. The Jayhawks will host the Wagner College Seahawks on Friday night from Lawrence.
