QB Jalon Daniels

Game Stats: 21/29 passing, 277 yards, 2 passing TDs, 1 interception, 11 rushes, 24 yards

Daniels returned after missing Week 1, and he clearly didn’t lose a step. The Kansas Jayhawks offense was electric in his first game back. He was evading sacks and making unreal throws on the run all game. The Heisman candidate is finally back in action.
