Kansas’ Cobee Bryant returns blocked field goal for a wild touchdown against Tennessee Tech

Kansas is arguably the hardest football job in the Power Five, but Lance Leipold is making his best effort with the Jayhawks. The second-year coach went 2-10 in Year 1, but one of those two wins was a shocking overtime win against Texas.

The ceiling is limited in Lawrence, but KU is off to a nice start in 2022. Leading 14-0 in the season-opener against FCS Tennessee Tech, the Jayhawks blocked a 50-yard field-goal attempt by the Golden Eagles, which was picked up by sophomore cornerback Cobee Bryant. Sixty-one yards later, Bryant found paydirt to give the Jayhawks a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.

Kansas was so excited that its official Twitter account confused the field-goal attempt with a punt.

It’s an exciting time for Kansas football, which is a sentence that hasn’t even crossed my mind in many years. With an up-and-coming coach and a Big 12 that seems up for grabs, the Jayhawks may just mess around and win three (or four!) games this fall.
