2. Jalon Daniels

Daniels has had rough moments in 2024, but he responded in a big way over the past few games. While the run game is what gave Kansas its offensive edge, "JD6" did just enough to put the Jayhawks over the top. More importantly, he avoided turnovers, which have been a constant issue for him.

He finished the night 14-for-21 passing, tossing 189 yards and a touchdown. Daniels also added 72 yards on six carries, including an unbelievable run where he put multiple Colorado defenders in a spin cycle. For all the hate he has received this year, Daniels' resurgence is a feel-good story.
