The Kansas Jayhawks and head coach Lance Leipold cruised past the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, 55-0, Saturday in Lawrence to get back to .500 on the season.

 

Three Jayhawk rushers carried the ball more than 12 times, with Dylan Edwards and Isaiah Marshall surpassing the 100-yard mark as Kansas set a single-game school record with 706 yards of total offense.

 

Leipold says he was proud of his team’s all-around performance and how the Jayhawks handled the Blue Raiders, especially the defense, which allowed the fewest yards in Leipold's 6-year stint with the Jayhawks. 

 

The Jayhawks will move on to Week 6 looking for a Big 12 road upset against No. 12 Utah, with pregame coverage beginning at 7:45 p.m. and kickoff set for 9:15 on Classic Hits 104.1. 

 

K-State football had a bye this week but will return to its home field for a top-25 matchup with Houston, with pregame coverage beginning at 12:30 p.m. and kickoff set for 2:30 on the Mighty 690.
