Kansas Football Wins Second Game Ahead Missouri Showdown

Kansas football, under head coach Lance Leipold, secured a dominant 46-7 victory against Wagner, improving their record to 2-0 on the season. Leipold praised the team's control of the line of scrimmage and strong defensive performance, while highlighting key contributions from players like Jalon Daniels, who threw four touchdown passes, and Emmanuel Henderson Jr., who led in receiving yards. Despite the win, Leipold emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and balance, especially with the much-anticipated Border Showdown against Missouri looming. He acknowledged Missouri as Kansas's true rival and noted the excitement surrounding the game but refrained from giving his team any bulletin-board material, stressing the need to concentrate on one game at a time. Missouri, coming off a 61-6 victory over Central Arkansas, will be missing injured quarterback Sam Horn, with Beau Pribula expected to start in the upcoming matchup at Faurot Field. Leipold's approach reflects a strategic focus on continuous improvement as Kansas prepares for the challenges ahead in the season.
