The Kansas Jayhawks, initially coming in as a 10.5 point favorite, saw the betting line against UNLV drop to as low as -7.5. In the game, despite being pinned on their own 2-yard line, Kansas quarterback Jason Bean completed a 36-yard pass which set up a 6-yard touchdown pass to Luke Grimm, tying the game at 7-7 in the first quarter. Kansas' offense maintained momentum, capitalizing on a mistake by UNLV's Maiava that led to a 60-yard touchdown pass from Bean to Grimm, advancing Kansas to a 14-7 lead. Later, a 51-yard pass to Grimm set up another Bean touchdown pass to Arnold from 15 yards out, increasing Kansas' lead to 21-7. The Kansas defense contributed by intercepting Maiava in the end zone, thwarting a UNLV scoring opportunity.
Another brutal pick for Maiava Tries to throw out of a sack and goes right to Young. Turner picks him up though, picking Bean off in the endo zone and the Rebels hold for now 21-7 Kansas | 6:38 2Q
Kansas up two scores now as Bean finds Arnold for a jump-ball in the end zone from 15 yards out KU hit on a big 51-yard pass to Grimm, who seemed to get away with a fairly blatant push-off on Jett Elad to set up the TD 21-7 Kansas | 7:57 2Q
