The Kansas Jayhawks and head coach Lance Leipold lost their Border War battle to the Missouri Tigers 38-21 Friday night in Lawrence.

 

After a scoreless first quarter, the Jayhawks got on the board with an 88-yard blocked field-goal return for a touchdown. The teams traded scores from there, with the game tied at 14 heading into halftime after a late Missouri touchdown drive.

 

KU’s first two offensive drives of the second half ended in turnovers, as a fumble and interception both turned into Missouri touchdowns to give the Tigers a 28-14 lead. Leipold says the turnovers were deflating, but his team never stopped fighting. 

 

Jayhawk quarterback Isaiah Marshall finished with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. Leipold praised Marshall’s ability to compete and says the game will provide a valuable learning opportunity for the young quarterback. 

 

The Jayhawks will travel to London, England, this week to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Union Jack Classic at Wembley Stadium. Pregame coverage begins at 9:30 a.m., with kickoff set for 11 on Classic Hits 104.1.
