Late KU rally falls short at TCU

By the Associated Press:

Griffin Kell kicked a 25-yard field goal with 11 seconds to play as TCU fought off a Kansas fourth-quarter rally to beat the Jayhawks 31-28 on Saturday.

Kell’s field goal capped a 14-play, 67-yard drive after Kansas had rallied from a 14-point deficit to tie the score. TCU ran four plays inside the Kansas 15-yard line to set up the kick.

“I felt like he was going to get it,” TCU interim coach Jerry Kill said. “I was more worried about giving them any time.”

Kansas trailed 28-14 early in the fourth quarter before Jalon Daniels threw touchdown passes of 28 yards to Luke Grimm and 10 yards to Jared Casey, the unlikely overtime hero in the Jayhawks’ win last week at Texas that snapped a 56-game Big 12 losing streak.

Kansas (2-9, 1-7 Big 12) sought to win consecutive conference games for the first time since 2008.

“To come down here, again a big underdog once again on the road, says a lot,” said first-year Jayhawks coach Lance Leipold, hired in April after Les Miles was fired amid allegations of misconduct during his time at LSU. “It’s a dejected locker room and one that is not just ready to play out the season.”

The Jayhawks wrap up the season next Saturday at home against West Virginia.
