Kansas hosts Long Island University in season opener at Memorial Stadium

Kansas football begins its 135th season Friday night by hosting Long Island University at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks enter the matchup with a five-game winning streak in season openers, having outscored early-season opponents by an average of 40-10 over that span. Long Island University arrives at 0-1 following a 42-21 defeat at North Dakota last week. The Sharks, who finished 6-6 last year, look to improve upon a performance where they trailed by 42 points at halftime before scoring three times in the second half. Kansas features a revised roster including 32 transfers and a new starting quarterback in Isaiah Marshall. The coaching staff seeks a disciplined performance with minimal penalties and efficient execution to establish control early in the game.
