Devin Neal sets career highs at Kansas in 45-36 win over No. 17 Cyclones

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Devin Neal rushed for 116 yards and two scores and became Kansas’ all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a 45-36 win over No. 17 Iowa State on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium.

Neal broke June Henley’s record with a 14-yard run on his first carry and now has 3,951 yards. Neal’s 13- and 10-yard touchdown runs gave him 43 points, breaking Henlsey’s mark of 41.

Jalon Daniels finished 12 of 24 for 295 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas (3-6, 2-4 Big 12).

Rocco Becht was 24 of 37 for 383 yards and three touchdowns for Iowa State (7-2, 4-2, No. 17 CFP), which has lost two straight after a 7-0 start.

Neal’s second field goal of the game gave Kansas a 38-13 lead in the third quarter.

Carson Hansen kicked a 13-yard field goal for Iowa State to cut the lead to 38-20. Becht then found Jaylon Jackson for a 27-yard field goal, and Becht converted the 2-point conversion to cut the score to 38-28. Mello Dotson’s 25-yard interception return for Kansas made it a 17-point game with 5:58 left.

The Jayhawks ran out time after Becht found Jaylin Noel for an 18-yard field goal.

Becht engineered a seven-play, 99-yard drive to open the scoring. Becht hit Noel with a 27-yard strike to finish it off.

Daniels responded with a 70-yard rushing pass to Luke Grimm on Kansas’ second play after the kickoff. Neal then kicked a 13-yard field goal to give Kansas the lead. Daniels found Quentin Skinner for a 24-yard field goal to give the Jayhawks a 21-7 lead.

takeaway

Iowa State: The Cyclones still have a chance to play for the Big 12 title, but their margin for error is almost gone and they’ll need some help.

Kansas: If they win, the Jayhawks will be able to make their third consecutive appearance for the first time in program history. They still have to play BYU and Colorado, the two teams at the top of the standings.

next

Iowa State: Hosts Cincinnati next Saturday.

Kansas: At BYU next Saturday.
