Jayhawks open 2022 with a loss to #9 Tennessee 31-24.
The Jayhawks looked poised to leave Rocky Top with a major upset over the #9 Vols. Leading 14-10 at half the Jayhawks came out in the 3rd Quarter and scored to go up 21-10 but from there on the Vols turned up the pressure and 1st year QB Rs Sophomore Jordan Foreman struggled to find his rhythm throwing a costly interception in the 3rd Quarter so the Jayhawks went to relying in their newly implemented spread option run game. The Vols scored and scored again against a Jayhawks defense to bring the score to 31-24 with 2:30 left in the game. The Jayhawks looked poised to march into the end zone but then Foreman started getting confused on his reads. With 38 seconds left a fumbled late pitch by Foreman doomed the Jayhawks comeback bid. Coach Hill said this of his teams effort "We played tough today couldn't be happier with our team effort should have been a W but self inflicted wounds will kill you if you don't handle business, We'll be better in 2 weeks for our showdown with Mizzou. This is Just one game but I believe this team can be special we will win we're just inexperienced at key positions."
