Kansas coach Lance Leipold opened Big 12 play with a 55-42 overtime win over West Virginia on Saturday night in Morgantown. The Jayhawks played with the Mountaineers through four quarters, totaling 419 yards of total offense.
Leipold highlighted receiver Luke Grimm and Quentin Skinner, Grimm posted a game-high 66 yards on six receptions, with Skinner adding 50 yards of his own on three completions from Daniels. “I think our depth is starting to show,” Leipold said. “I don’t know where we’re going to match up against everybody, as far as talents and all-conference players and all that stuff. But I like the way our depth is, we have a lot of guys that stepped up, made plays in two games, and continued.”
Daniels’ performance - 18-29 passes for 219 yards, including three touchdowns - was the backbone of the win Saturday night, propelling Kansas through a shaky first half against the Mountaineers.
