Jalon Daniels, Bryant lead Kansas over WVU 55-42 in OT

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- , Jalon Daniels threw three touchdown passes, including one in overtime, and cornerback Jacobee Bryant returned an interception for a score on the final play as Kansas beat West Virginia 55-42 in their Big 12 opener on Saturday night. Kansas (2-0, 1-0 Big 12) has won its first two games of the season for the first time since 2011. “For us to get off to a 2-0 start and keep stacking (good) days the best we can, it says a lot," Kansas coach Lance Leipold said. “But it will only mean a lot if we go out and play well again.” West Virginia rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime tied at 42. After Daniels found Quentin Skinner with a 4-yard scoring pass in overtime, Bryant stepped in front of JT Daniels’ pass intended for West Virginia’s Bryce Ford-Wheaton and ran 86 yards untouched into the end zone to end the game.
