Nicholls St 26-Kansas 23 OTIt's been a year since Kansas (0-1) has won a game after starting 2017 and with an FCS opponent to open the season it was ripe for the taking.
However the boys from Thibodaux, Louisiana, had other plans. Nicholls State (1-0) picked up a field goal late in the game to tie things at 20, but had been controlling the game at 17-10 before the Jayhawks came back.
In overtime Kansas settled for a field goal and then a big pass interference call set up the Colonels. Chase Fourcade scrambled in from four yards out and the Southland Conference squad rolled to a 26-23 win.
They can't laugh too hard in Manhattan, Kansas because Kansas State had to fend off an upset of their own. After the Wildcats (1-0) rallied to take a 27-24 lead, the South Dakota Coyotes (0-1) had chance to tie things with a long field goal, but came up short.
Kansas will have to try again next week against Central Michigan on the road in Mt. Pleasant.
