LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Carter Stanley threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Daylon Charlot with 2:20 left in the game, and Kansas rallied for a 24-17 victory over Indiana State on Saturday to avoid saddling new coach Les Miles with a devastating defeat in his debut. The Sycamores had clawed back from a 16-3 deficit, taking the lead when Stanley fumbled in the end zone and Inoke Moala recovered it for a touchdown with 4:24 left in the game. The Jayhawks’ senior quarterback calmly responded to adversity, hitting Andrew Parchment with a couple of passes, finding Charlot for a 26-yard gain then hitting him again for the go-ahead score. The Jayhawks then stopped the Sycamores in the closing minutes to avoid losing to their third FCS school in the last five seasons. Still, it wasn’t always pretty for the national-title winning Les Miles. There were far too many blown assignments on both sides of the ball to think Kansas is much different than its woeful years under Turner Gill, Charlie Weis and David Beaty.
