Stillwater, Oklahoma - In a dominant display, the Kansas Jayhawks powered past Oklahoma State with a 31-14 victory, bolstered by strong performances across the board in Week 10.
Kansas set the tone early with a methodical opening drive capped by Johnny Thompson Jr.’s 1-yard plunge for a touchdown. The Jayhawks quickly followed up with a touchdown strike from Isaiah Marshall to Damien Keo, extending the lead to 14-0 by the end of the first quarter.
Oklahoma State found some life in the second quarter, but Kansas linebacker Jayvaun Russell’s 37-yard interception return for a touchdown silenced the home crowd. Though Oklahoma State responded with a pick-six of their own, the Jayhawks went into halftime with a comfortable 21-7 lead.
The Cowboys made it a one-score game with a third-quarter touchdown pass from Garret Rangel, but the Jayhawks’ defense clamped down from there. Terrelle Warren’s 1-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter effectively sealed the game. Shaq Durham added a late field goal to pad the final score at 31-14.
Isaiah Marshall threw for 244 yards on 25-of-36 passing with one touchdown and two interceptions. His connection with Damien Keo was particularly effective, as Keo hauled in eight catches for 67 yards and a touchdown.
Johnny Thompson Jr. carried the ball 35 times for 142 yards and a score, consistently grinding down the Oklahoma State defense.
Jayvaun Russell was the standout on defense with seven tackles, a tackle for loss, and a pick-six. His play was complemented by Seth Sahara, who recorded four tackles and two sacks.
Kansas dominated the game in total offense, outgaining Oklahoma State 474-97. The Jayhawks' ground game was relentless, piling up 230 rushing yards. The defense shined as well, forcing three turnovers and holding the Cowboys to just 13 rushing yards on 18 attempts.
With this win, Kansas improves to 8-2 on the season and 6-1 in Big 12 play, solidifying their status as a top contender in the conference. Next up, the Jayhawks will look to continue their winning ways as they prepare for their next challenge.
