Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels runs the ball during the first half against Illinois on Friday in Lawrence, Kan. The Illini lost 34-23.
“I could tell today when we were doing some walkthrough stuff Jalon felt really good. He was really anxious to play,” Kansas coach Lance Leipold said. “I felt he was ready. I didn’t see any apprehension that he was worried about anything.”Daniel Hishaw added 98 yards rushing and a touchdown and Lawrence Arnold had five catches for 89 yards as Daniels and the Jayhawks piled up nearly 300 yards of offense in the first half and finished with 543 for the game.
Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer runs for a 72-yard touchdown against Kansas during third quarter Friday in Lawrence, Kan. Daniels showed no signs of rust — and how much more dynamic the Kansas offense is with him under center — after he missed the opener against Missouri State to rest his ailing back. He led a 10-play, 82-yard touchdown march the first time he touched the ball, then added two more touchdown drives to send Kansas to a 21-0 lead.
