KU ran a version of the famed “Phily Special,” which the Philadelphia Eagles won a Super Bowl with in 2018.īut rather than converting, Bean, who filled in admirably for Daniels during the games he missed with a shoulder injury, ran hard to the right and fired a pass out of the back of the end zone.Īs soon as the ball landed, Bean walked directly toward the locker room. In the second OT, the two quarterbacks canceled each other out with rushing touchdowns and 2-point conversion passes, with KU’s also coming from Daniels to Casey.įrom there, the teams moved to the third overtime, where college rules dictate that it’s nothing but 2-point conversions the rest of the way.Īrkansas converted theirs on a 2-yard pass from KJ Jefferson to Rashod Dubinion, and that set up Kansas with a chance to go for the tie. Like Daniels throughout Wednesday’s game and the entire season, Casey stayed cool, too, smoothly tucking the ball away after he caught it following the reception. On fourth-and-goal from the 2, Daniels hit Jared Casey all alone in the end zone to put Kansas ahead 45-38 after the extra point. The teams matched scores in the first OT, with KU actually taking a lead on a familiar connection. … We’ve battled back early in some games this year, but nothing like this in the second half.”
Final fight 3 ot series#
“I felt like in the first half there were a few times where I played outside of myself.”Īdded KU coach Lance Leipold: “Jalon had a really nice first series and then after he kind of bobbled that snap he tried to press a little bit. “The whole second half I played calm,” Daniels said. Just a single fist in the air and a slow and steady walk toward the sideline that reminded everyone who saw it that there was still work to be done. “When the overtime hit, there was a sense of confidence about this group, especially with Jalon,” KU coach Lance Leipold said.Įven then, as the fans on the Kansas side of the stadium exploded like it was Mass Street after a national championship win in basketball, Daniels remained calm. Four plays later, after a 21-yard touchdown pass to Luke Grimm (10 catches for 167 yards and a touchdown) and a 2-point conversion pass to Lawrence Arnold (8 for 119), the Jayhawks had tied the game. Then, on the ensuing kickoff, KU safety Kenny Logan Jr., scooped up a perfectly executed kick by Tabor Allen to give the Jayhawks (6-7) even more hope. The extra point pulled Kansas within eight. Trailing still by 15 points with as few as four minutes to play and Arkansas in possession of the ball, the Jayhawks improbably rallied to tie the game in regulation and send it to overtime.Īll of this after Arkansas’ 24-point first quarter started the game out with a Liberty Bowl record for most points in a single quarter.Ĭobee Bryant recovered a fumble and returned it into Arkansas territory to set up Doug Emilien’s touchdown with 1:05 to play. And you can be sure that the Razorbacks (7-6) walked about feeling pretty fortunate that they escaped with the win. But we didn’t get the outcome we wanted.”
So, to be able to come back the way we did shows that we have a lot of grit on our team. I’m sure right after that first half a lot of people counted us out. “To be able to go into that many overtimes means that it’s a hell of a game. “It was definitely a fun game to play,” said Daniels, who also set KU’s single-game passing record with 544 passing yards and five touchdowns. No one in there cared about Jalon Daniels’ seven Liberty Bowl records or the 24 Liberty Bowl records that Kansas and Arkansas combined to set or tie in the wild game at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. And words of encouragement and heartache became synonymous.
