Jayhawk Talk
Each week following their game Kansas Head Coach Jordan McAlary makes an appearance on KLWN to talk about the game, we'll include a few key points in this article.
Coach Jordan McAlary on Isaiah Marshall's Grit:
"I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—Isaiah’s a fighter. He took a beating out there, but he kept getting up, kept making throws. That’s the kind of toughness you want from your quarterback, and it’s why we’re sticking with him. He showed he can handle the moment and lead this team."
On the Drops and Execution Issues:
"We’re leaving plays out on the field, no doubt about it. Jaden Hamm is as sure-handed as they come, but even the best have an off game. It’s something we’ll clean up because we know we’re better than that. We need to execute at a higher level, and we will."
On Shaq Durham's Performance Under Pressure:
"Shaq was money for us, plain and simple. When you’ve got a kicker who can step up in big moments and deliver like that, it’s a game-changer. He gave us a lift when we needed it most, and I couldn’t be prouder of how he handled the pressure."
On Jeremiah Moses’ Game-Sealing Interception:
"Man, what a play. Jeremiah’s got that instinct you can’t coach—he saw his chance, took it, and made a memory we’ll all be talking about for a long time. That was the kind of play that defines a game, and it’s why we trust him in those big moments."
