2021 SCHEDULE

JAYHAWKS HOST BEARS IN BIG 12 OPENER AT DAVID BOOTH KANSAS MEMORIAL STADIUMCoach Lance Leipold and the Kansas Jayhawks will return home this weekend to host the Baylor Bears in both team’s Big 12 Conference openers. The Jayhawks are looking to move to 2-0 at home after winning their home opener Sept. 3 against South Dakota, 17-14. Kansas is coming off a 49-22 road loss to No. 17 Coastal Carolina in a game that featured the Jayhawks topping the 400-yard mark on offense and scoring three rushing touchdowns. Baylor enters conference play with a 2-0 mark, picking up wins at Texas State and at home against Texas Southern. The Bears rushed for 419 yards and five touchdowns last week against Texas Southern and finished with 714 yards of total offense in their convincing 66-7 victory. Running back Trestan Ebner has already rushed for 245 yards on the season, while Abram Smith has rushed for 244 and four touchdowns. Game time is set for 2:30 p.m., and will be broadcasted on ESPN+.

QUICK HITS• Quarterback Jason Bean rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries last week at Coastal Carolina. Bean is one of just two FBS quarterbacks nationally to rush for 100 or more yards and score two touchdowns in the same game so far this season. He’s the first Kansas quarterback to top the 100-yard mark since 2002 and his 13 carries were tied for the sixth-fewest needed to reach 100 yards by any Kansas player since 2000.• The Kansas offense totaled 412 yards Friday night at Coastal Carolina, which is the team’s highest total since picking up 493 yards of total offense against Iowa State on Nov. 23, 2019. Friday’s game also marked the first time since that same Iowa State game that Kansas scored three rushing touchdowns. • Through two games, the Jayhawks have yet to commit a turnover. This is the first time since 2007 that Kansas has been turnover-free through the first two games of a season. Kansas is one of six Power 5 programs and one of 14 FBS programs nationally to still be turnover-free this season.

• Kansas had seven offensive plays of 20 or more yards against Coastal Carolina, which is the program’s highest total since having eight at Iowa State in 2019. The Jayhawks had just 16 offensive plays go for 20 or more yards last season. • Super-Senior Kwamie Lassiter II enters Friday’s game with 98 career catches and 994 career receiving yards. Lassiter’s seven catches and 85 yards last week at Coastal Carolina were both the second-most he’s had in a single game during his career. He is eighth in the Big 12 currently, averaging 4.5 catches per game.• Super-Senior defensive end Kyron Johnson has 2 ½ tackles-for-loss through two games so far this season. The 2 ½ TFLs are the most Johnson has ever had in a two-game span during his career. Johnson has 13 total tackles this season, 1 ½ sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.• Junior Kenny Logan Jr., leads Kansas with 16 total tackles and three pass breakups. He also ranks second in the Big 12 and fourth in the country in kick return average at 39.8 yards. He had an 83-yard kick return in the season opener against South Dakota. • The Kansas defense allowed just 98 passing yards in the opener against South Dakota, which marked the fewest by a Kansas defense since giving up 49 to Rhode Island in the 2016 season opener. It was the first time the Jayhawks have held an opponent to less than 100 yards passing since giving up 99 to Kansas State in the 2016 finale.• Redshirt freshman receiver Lawrence Arnold had three catches for 33 yards and the first two touchdowns of his career in the season opener against South Dakota. He then had a 37-yard reception at Coastal Carolina, which is the longest catch of his career and most receiving yards in a single game he’s ever had. He’s the first freshman to have two receiving touchdowns in the season opener since JaCorey Shepherd in 2011.• Senior defensive end Malcolm Lee picked up the first forced fumble of his career Friday against Coastal Carolina. He also combined with Kyron Johnson on a sack, marking the first time since 2019 that he had been in on a sack.

JAYHAWK RADIO NETWORK

#1 PLAYMAKER• Prior to his sophomore season in 2020, safety Kenny Logan made the switch from No. 23 to No. 1. It fits the St. Augustine, Florida native as he was the team’s top playmaker on defense last season and again has gotten off to a productive start in 2021. • Logan led the team with 58 total tackles, including 40 solo stops. He also added a sack and a forced fumble in the team’s Big 12 opener at Baylor. • This season, Logan leads the Jayhawks with 16 tackles and has three pass breakups in two games. He’s also second in the Big 12 and fourth in the nation in kick returns, averaging 39.8 yards per return in two games.• Logan had a game-high nine tackles at Coastal Carolina and also added a pair of pass breakups. • Logan is still looking for his first interception of the season, but last season he was the only Jayhawk to notch multiple interceptions, picking off passes in back-to-back weeks against Iowa State and Oklahoma. The two interceptions marked the first two of his career. • Logan also posted a 100-yard kickoff return against Iowa State and averaged 26.5 yards per return on 13 attempts last season. • When he notched an interception and a kick return for a touchdown against the Cyclones, he became the first FBS player to have a pick and a kick return for a touchdown in the same game in more than two years. Boise State’s Avery Williamson was the most recent to do it before Logan in 2018. • Logan’s career high in tackles also came last year when he had 12 stops against Oklahoma State, including eight solo stops and a pass breakup. • He had at least five tackles in seven of the team’s nine games last season. He didn’t start the first game of the season, but then started the next eight for the Jayhawks.• He has started both games this season and has at least seven tackles in each game.

PROTECTING THE ROCK• A major point of emphasis for the Kansas coaching staff during training camp was better ball security and fewer turnovers. So far, it is paying off for Kansas. • The Jayhawks have yet to commit a turnover through two games this season.

KENNY LOGAN JR.#1


ABOUT THAT DEFENSE• The Kansas defense allowed just 262 yards of total offense in the opener against South Dakota, which is the fewest yards allowed in a game since giving up 253 against Southeast Missouri State in 2017. • Defensive linemen Caleb Taylor and Kenean Caldwell combined for three tackles-for-loss in the win against the Coyotes. Neither player had registered a TFL in their career before the game. Taylor and Caldwell, a pair of redshirt freshmen, combined for five total tackles. • Taylor then earned his first career start against Coastal Carolina and had a career-high three tackles.• Taylor and Caldwell were hardly the only defensive linemen to wreak havoc against the Coyotes in the opener. Defensive end Kyron Johnson tied for the team lead with seven total tackles. He registered the lone sack of the game for the Jayhawks and also forced a fumble. • Malcolm Lee was also a force on the line with four tackles and one pass breakup. Ron McGee and Eddie Wilson both added three tackles in their Kansas debuts. Lee then combined with Johnson for a sack against Coastal Carolina.• The Kansas pass defense was also stellar against South Dakota. Not only did the Jayhawks surrender just 98 passing yards, Kansas had four pass breakups. Kenny Logan Jr., O.J. Burroughs and Jeremy Webb each had one PBU to join Lee, who batted down a ball in a crucial spot for the Jayhawks. • Webb, a transfer from Missouri State and Virginia Tech, had a key pass breakup on South Dakota’s final drive. Trailing by three, South Dakota had a 3rd-and-3 from their own 30. Webb broke up a pass intended for Wesley Eliodor to force fourth down, which the Jayhawks eventually stopped.

NO LYIN' LEIPOLD CAN COACH• The fastest coach in NCAA history to reach 100 wins, Lance Leipold won his Kansas debut last weekend against South Dakota to earn his 38th Division I FBS victory. • Leipold went 109-6 as the head coach at Wisconsin Whitewater, and won six national championships in eight years. Over a three-year stretch, Leipold’s Whitewater teams compiled a 45-0 record and captured three-straight national titles. • The veteran coach then went 37-33 in six years with Buffalo after beginning his tenure with a 7-17 mark. Leipold led the Bulls to their first ever AP Top 25 ranking last year when the program entered the rankings at No. 23. • Leipold also guided Buffalo to three-straight bowl games in his final three years with the Bulls. The three bowl games marked the first time in program history that Buffalo made three straight bowl games. After dropping their first bowl game, the Bulls topped Charlotte in the Bahamas Bowl in 2019 and Marshall in the Camellia Bowl in 2020, giving the program their first two bowl wins in program history.• Leipold has now won four-straight season-openers as a head coach. At Buffalo, the Bulls beat Delaware State 48-10 to open the 2018 season, before topping Robert Morris to open 2019 and Northern Illinois to open the 2020 season. • Not only have Leipold’s program racked up the wins, they have developed players as well. Buffalo had 24 players named all-conference the past two seasons and Wisconsin-Whitewater players had 56 All-American honors during his time as head coach. • All total, as a head coach and assistant, Leipold has been a part of 17 conference championships and seven bowl game appearances.

BODY BY SLEEVE• One of the first orders of business for coach Lance Leipold was hiring a Director of Sports Performance. He opted to bring Matt Gildersleeve with him from Buffalo to fill that role, and Gildersleeve and his staff got some big-time results this summer. • The Jayhawks lost a total of 244.7 pounds of fat mass, which breaks down to 2.2 pounds per player. • The team also gained 372.2 pounds of muscle mass, which figures to 3.4 per player. • The average vertical jump for the team before the summer was 30 inches. After the summer, the averaged jumped up to 32. At the beginning of the summer, there were only 84 players with a vertical jump of 35 inches or better. By the end of that summer, that number improved to 112, including five players who jumped 40 inches or better. The team didn’t just gain strength, it also gained speed. The average 10-yard sprint for the team entering the summer was 1.61. By the end of the summer, it was 1.57.

FAIRCHILD FLOURISHES• Mason Fairchild had five catches for 57 yards in nine games last year as a sophomore. In his first game of his junior year, he eclipsed that mark with 58 yards on four catches against South Dakota. • Fairchild had the biggest catch of the South Dakota game when quarterback Jason Bean found him for a 20-yard gain on 4th-and-10 from the South Dakota 47. The Jayhawks scored six players later to take a 17-14 lead that held up to be the final. • In addition to his 20-yard catch in the fourth quarter, Fairchild also had a one-handed grab for an 18-yard gain in the third quarter. Fairchild had three of his four catches in the second half of the South Dakota victory.• Dating back to last season, Fairchild has now started seven games in a row. For his career, he’s up to 11 catches for 147 yards. • Fairchild’s 58 yards were the most by a Kansas tight end since Ben Johnson opened the 2017 season with 90 yards. The Andale, Kansas native has started both games for the Jayhawks so far this season.

PRETTY RICKY• One of the most experienced players on the Kansas defense, Ricky Thomas Jr., will be playing in his 31st career game for Kansas on Saturday against Baylor • He has 83 career tackles to his credit and had a strong debut against South Dakota, and then followed that up with seven tackles against Coastal Carolina. • Thomas had three solo stops against South Dakota and added one tackle-for-loss and one forced fumble.• The forced fumble was the first of his career. He now has 3.5 tackles-for-loss in his career after the stop against South Dakota. • He had three solo stops and four assists against Coastal Carolina.

WACO, Texas – Kansas football scored on its opening possession Saturday night at McLane Stadium while Baylor responded by scoring 40-straight points before KU could counter. The Bears, playing in their first game of the season, went on to beat the Jayhawks 47-14.

KU (0-2, 0-1 Big 12) got off to a fast start in its second game of the season, scoring on the first drive of Saturday night’s game at Baylor. True freshman quarterback Jalon Daniels got his first-career start and completed two passes during an eight-play, 79-yard drive, one each to senior wide receivers Andrew Parchment (four yards) and Stephon Robinson Jr. (23 yards).

Lance Leipold, a six-time National Champion, a five-time conference coach of the year and the fastest coach in NCAA history to reach 100 career wins, has been named the 41st head coach in Kansas Football history, Director of Athletics Travis Goff announced on April 30.

Leipold arrives at Kansas after a successful six-year stay at Buffalo, where in his final three seasons, he posted three straight winning seasons for the first time in 20 years. He won 24 games over the final three seasons, which included a seven-game shortened-season schedule in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, marking the most successful three-year run in Buffalo history.

“I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Coach Leipold, Kelly, Lindsey and Landon to the Jayhawk Family,” said Director of Athletics Travis Goff. “He is a man of integrity, a developer of young men, a program builder and a winner. His track record of sustained excellence is exactly what we were looking for in our next leader, and is what the University of Kansas and our fans deserve. His commitment to maximizing our student-athletes’ abilities and experience on the field, in the classroom, in the community, and in life after KU is inspiring. Those qualities will attract individuals and develop them into exceptional Jayhawks.”

A proven winner with a strong track record for player development, Leipold served as the head coach at Wisconsin-Whitewater for eight seasons from 2007 to 2014, capturing six NCAA Division III national championships and tallying an astounding record of 109-6.

“I am very thankful to Chancellor Girod and Travis Goff for providing me this opportunity to lead the Kansas Football program,” Leipold said. “It is an exciting and humbling opportunity, and this is a day I will never forget. We are going to build this program the right way through developing players, discipline and determination. The philosophies engrained in our programs along the way will be key as we turn this around. This is a program that has a lot of young talent on the roster and has the infrastructure in place to succeed. The best days for this program are ahead, and my family and I are ecstatic to be a part of it. I am ready to get to work and give everything I have to the Jayhawks.”

After taking over a rebuilding Buffalo program that went 7-17 in his first two seasons, Leipold put together a record of 30-16 over his final four seasons, including three bowl appearances and two bowl victories with the Bulls.

Leipold is coming off a 2020 season at Buffalo that brought unprecedented success to the program. The Bulls went a perfect 5-0 in the regular season and won the MAC East Division title for the second-straight year. Leipold’s squad also beat Marshall in the Camellia Bowl for the program’s second ever bowl win and second in as many years.

Buffalo also appeared in the Associated Press Top 25 at No. 24 on December 6, 2020, marking the first-time in school history the Bulls appeared inT the national rankings. The team finished the season ranked 25th in both the AP poll and the Amway Coaches Poll. Leipold was named the MAC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career after the record-breaking season.

Showcasing his pristine reputation for player development and a keen eye for recruiting, Buffalo tied a school-record with 12 All-MAC selections in 2020, all of whom were recruited by Leipold. Running back Jaret Patterson led the way, rushing for 1,072 yards in just six games, including a 409-yard performance against Kent State, which is the second-best performance in FBS history.

Patterson was named the winner of the Vern Smith Leadership Award, given to the MVP of the MAC and was also named the MAC Offensive Player of the Year under Leipold’s tutelage.

Buffalo also had 12 all-conference players in 2019, a season that culminated in the school’s first-ever bowl victory – a 31-9 win over Charlotte in the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl. The 2019 team featured one of the best defenses in the school’s history. Buffalo ranked seventh nationally in total defense, allowing 291.9 yards per game. The Bulls were also fourth nationally against the run, allowing 94.2 yards per game.

In 2018, Buffalo won 10 games in a season for the first time ever in program history. Leipold’s team went 7-1 in MAC play and won the East Division title. The Bulls also won 42-13 at Rutgers, marking the school’s first-ever win over a Power 5 opponent. He was named the MAC Coach of the Year and was also a semifinalist for the George Munger College Coach of the Year Award.

In that 2018 season, the Buffalo offense had a record-breaking season. Buffalo scored 484 points, 64 touchdowns and totaled 5,803 yards of total offense, establishing new school records in each category. Quarterback Tyree Jackson was named the MAC Offensive Player of the Year, while Patterson earned MAC Freshman of the Year honors.

In Leipold’s third season in 2017, the Bulls gained bowl eligibility for just the third time as an FBS program. The Bulls offense averaged 432 yards per game and led the conference in passing yards per game at 291. Showing an ability for explosive plays, Buffalo produced 20 plays of 45 or more yards on the season.

Leipold became the head coach at Buffalo in December of 2014 after a triumphant career as the head coach at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which saw him earn six National Coach of the Year awards. In his first season there in 2007, the Warhawks went 14-1 and won the Division III national championship. In 2008, the team made it back to the title game and fell to Mount Union.

Wisconsin-Whitewater then went 45-0 over the next three seasons, winning three straight national championships. After a 7-3 campaign in 2012, Whitewater went 30-0 combined in 2013 and 2014 winning two more national titles with Leipold at the helm.

During his time there, Warhawk players totaled 56 All-America honors, with running back Justin Beaver winning the Gagliardi Trophy as the top player in Division III. Brent Allen won the Division III Rimington Award as the top center. Running back Levell Coppage earned D3Football.com Offensive Player of the Year honors, while Cole Klotz won those honors on the defensive side.

Leipold, a native of Jefferson, Wisconsin, began his coaching career at Whitewater in 1987 as a quarterbacks coach. He moved to the University of Wisconsin in 1991, where he served as a graduate assistant for Barry Alvarez for three seasons and helped the Badgers win a Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl appearance in 1993.

He then served as an assistant coach at Division II Nebraska-Omaha from 1994-2000, helping the Mavericks become three-time conference champions. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2000, before moving on to Nebraska where he worked for Frank Solich for four seasons. He then returned to Nebraska-Omaha for three years as the associate head coach and offensive coordinator.

Leipold is a 1987 graduate of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where he was a standout quarterback.

Leipold and his wife Kelly, have a daughter, Lindsey, and a son, Landon. Lindsey plays volleyball at Stetson University (DeLand, Florida).
