It didn't take long. Three minutes into Saturday's season opener, Kansas coach Mark Mangino made one quick decision
— to go for a first down on fourth-and-one. His choice set the tone for the Jayhawks' 52-7 victory against Central Michigan and helped to reinforce the confident mindset he said the team had carried over from preseason camp.

Saturday at Memorial Stadium was deemed a success both on and off the field for the Athletics Department, which helped fans navigate stadium construction.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said he had not yet heard any complaints from people who attended the game.
Most reviews were positive from fans tailgating and watching the game from the hill. However, some fans complained about moving some season ticketholders' parking spaces from next to the stadium to across campus to accommodate construction.
