Iowa State returned after halftime with three scoring drives in the third quarter
KANSAS FOOT
After repeated blowouts and struggles on both sides of the ball, it's become clear that Kansas is in a rebuilding year.
In the Jayhawks 28-16 loss to Iowa State on Saturday, the defense, which had allowed its first three conference opponents to score 159 points, showed signs of
improvement against a team that is averaging 24 points per game.

The Jayhawks led 9-7 at halftime and the Cyclones only score came on a punt return.
The defense had held the Cyclones scoreless and to only 12 yards of total offense in the first quarter.

"We were pretty confident," junior quarterback Quinn Mecham said. "Things were going our way and we were playing our game, and we just tried to keep it going after half."
"We came in with the mindset that we could run the ball."
The Jayhawks were unable to continue their defensive success after halftime, as the Cyclones scored on their opening drive to start the second half and eventually went on to score two more times in the third quarter.

The Cyclones put together three scor
The Cyclones were again held scoreless in the fourth quarter.
Junior defensive tackle Richard Johnson Jr. tied for the team lead with seven tackles, including one sack. Laptad also recorded a sack.
"We came in with the mindset that we could run the ball," senior running back Angus Quigley said. "and we had some really good plays in the run game today and that was the game plan coming in."
Part of the Jayhawks defensive success can be attributed to the offense being able to control the ball so well in the first half. The Jayhawks defense was only on the field for 8:43 in the first half.
