Former Jayhawks CB duo shines in Super Bowl
No Big 12 school had a bigger Super Bowl 50 Sunday than the Kansas Jayhawks.
Former Kansas cornerbacks Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib played a big part in the Denver Broncos’ suffocating defense in a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Chris Harris Jr. celebrates with fans after the Broncos' win Sunday in Super Bowl 50.The two combined for 10 tackles and a sack while locking up Carolina's receiver corps in coverage. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton completed just 18 of 41 passes and was forced into three turnovers.
“We dared him to throw,” Harris said. “The game plan was: Can you throw on us? Me, Talib and (Bradley) Roby. We knew he couldn’t throw on us.”
