Liberty Bowl pits Kansas vs Arkansas for 1st time since 1906

Associated Press  

The Kansas Jayhawks see a bright future thanks to coach Lance Leipold’s quick turnaround. That proud Southeastern Conference program goes into the Liberty Bowl on Wednesday hoping quarterback KJ Jefferson and running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders can provide enough offense to make up for a roster thinned by opt-outs and transfer portal departures. This is the Jayhawks’ first bowl since 2008 and second all-time at the Liberty Bowl, “Now the fun starts,” Kansas linebacker Rich Miller said. Arkansas counters with Sanders, who ranked second in the SEC with 1,426 yards rushing and an average of 118.8 yards per game. LONG TIME COMING This is Kansas’ 13th bowl and first since 2008, when the Jayhawks beat Minnesota in the Insight Bowl.
