Kansas Pro Football Focus grades, snap counts from Week 1
- Kansas quarterback Jaylen Marshall graded well overall and completed three of four passes thrown at least 20 yards, but PFF gave him a 35 passing grade under pressure after a near-interception.
- Marshall directed nearly all of his passes to the middle or left side of the field, a Week 1 tendency worth monitoring against stronger coverage units.
- Yasin Willis handled 11 carries in 26 snaps but was marked down in pass protection, while Dylan Edwards earned his best grade as a receiver.
- Kasen Carpenter led Kansas' offensive-line grades, and DeAndre Harper played 42 snaps to Nick Morrow's 33 while grading second among the unit.
- Kansas kept every defensive starter at 28 snaps or fewer, while David Santiago posted two pressures and four stops and Blake Herold led the front with four pressures.
