The Kansas Jayhawks are playing their homecoming game at Arrowhead Stadium against the Houston Cougars, and they wasted no time finding the endzone in the first quarter.
With so much pressure on Kansas to turn their 1-5 around this season, the Jayhawks needed to make a statement early against the Cougars, and star quarterback Jalon Daniels was able to do just that.
After a short kickoff return by Kansas to open the game, Daniels easily marched the Jayhawks’ offense down the field, and eventually connected with tight end Jared Casey for the game’s opening score.
Take a look at the outstanding red zone connection between Daniels and Casey in this video, which was posted by Kansas Football’s official account on Twitter:
