Kansas too much for South Dakota, wins 31-14
Doug Tucker, Associated Press
• LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- After one quarter, South Dakota possessed a 7-0 lead against Kansas and the Coyotes were thinking maybe this barrage of FCS teams knocking off teams from the top-tier FBS could keep going.
• But behind a running game that compiled 280 yards, the Jayhawks made sure South Dakota (1-1) didn't spoil the much-anticipated debut of transfer quarterback Jake Heaps.
• Senior running back James Sims scored two touchdowns and rushed for 94 yards on 16 carries for Kansas, 1-0, as it held off pesky South Dakota 31-14.
• "We weren't good enough to hold them off," South Dakota coach Joe Glenn said. "They didn't really have to pass a lot. They were just able to horse it up and run on us."
• Last week, eight FCS teams upset FBS teams, and after one quarter, the threat of South Dakota adding to that total seemed quite real. The Coyotes, looking to snap a 15-game road losing streak, took a 7-0 lead on quarterback Josh Vander Maten's 2-yard touchdown pass to Drew Potter, who sneaked out of the backfield unnoticed and was all by himself in the end zone.
• "We play everybody at our level now," Glenn said. "Everybody's got the same thing we got. You feel like that's fair when you always have to go and play these teams on the road and they got a little bit more of everything than you got, it's tough to win. Yet, Northern Iowa did it, Eastern Illinois did it, Eastern Washington did it."
