Key player
Michigan graduate transfer quarterback Shane Morris completed 28 of 37 passes for 467 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions. That was after going 25 for 49 for 226 yards in Week 1 against Rhode Island.
Key moment
Central Michigan could have gone conservative at the end of the first half with a 17-6 lead, but instead the Chippewas went 90 yards in 65 seconds, scoring on a 6-yard Corey Willis touchdown reception in the final seconds of the second quarter. That tally was especially important after KU scored the first two touchdowns after halftime … which still left the Jayhawks behind.
