Late FG Propels Kansas to Victory Over Texas Tech
October 26, 2019 | Football
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Douglas Coleman III fumbled on a blocked field goal return with two seconds to go and Liam Jones capitalized with a 32-yard field goal to give Kansas a 37-34 win over Texas Tech on Saturday night.
Nick McCann blocked Jones' 40-yard attempt and the ball landed in the hands of Coleman, who ran to his left before attempting a lateral that did not touch another Tech player. Kansas regained possession and Jones sealed their its first Big 12 win of the season.
Kansas (3-5, 1-4 Big 12) overcome an early three-possession deficit - and the ejection of team captain Bryce Tornedon for targeting.
Trailing 17-0 midway through the second quarter, the Jayhawks rallied heading into halftime, cutting the deficit to 17-14 as Carter Stanley rushed into the end zone to get Kansas on the board and then connected with Stephon Robinson for a 48-yard touchdown the following drive.
Stanley fueled the Jayhawk victory with 415 yards passing and four total touchdowns. Stephon Robinson Jr. caught six passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns.
Jett Duffey and SaRodorick Thompson were the main contributors in the Red Raiders' 483 yards of total offense. Duffey connected on 23-of-34 attempts for 271 yards and three touchdowns while Thompson rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown of his own for Texas Tech (3-5, 1-4).
