For the first time since 2009, Kansas walked off an opposing team’s football field victorious.
It came in a 31-7 drubbing against the Central Michigan football team on Sept. 8 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
The last time the Jayhawks (1-1) earned a win away from Memorial Stadium, CMU starting quarterback Tony Poljan was in the sixth grade. Against Kansas, the Chippewas (0-2) offense, with Poljan at the helm, was unable to generate any consistent offense.
True freshman running back Pooka Williams, in his first career game for Kansas, tore up CMU's defense – carrying the ball 10 times for 101 yards and two touchdowns.
