ST. Hydro Flask Danmark . LOUIS -- Kansas State forward D.J.

It was right there. That should have been 11?(for 11). Saw the top of the square -- just didnt connect on it.Johnson, who?had?four of the Wildcats?eight?dunks, led an early charge that helped the Wildcats take immediate control as they bolted to leads of?24-13 and 36-21 and never looked back.It was a fun night for us, coach Bruce Weber said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Every time Kansas seemed to have any momentum against Memphis, they gave the ball away.Six times, as a matter of fact.And the Tigers didnt hesitate to seize the opportunities.Memphis dominated the game defensively, grabbed an early lead and coasted to a 43-7 win over Kansas on Saturday, sending the Jayhawks to their 39th consecutive road loss.Ive never been in a game where we even came close to having that many turnovers, Kansas coach David Beaty said.

In addition to his 50-yarder, Elliott converted kicks of 41 and 42 yards. Memphis showed no ill-effects of a bye week after winning its opener 35-17 over Southeast Missouri State.We talked a lot about starting fast, and were really pleased with our guys preparation, Memphis coach Mike Norvell said. I thought we started fast. Defense did an incredible job. They were completely dominant.The Jayhawks, (1-2) struggled offensively throughout, although they managed 314 yards of total offense. Any momentum, though, was thwarted by the Jayhawks four fumbles and two interceptions in the game.A key swing came when Memphis reached the Kansas 13 in the closing minutes of the half. A sack and a tackle for loss, plus a couple of penalties put Memphis near midfield.Then Memphis muffed the punt attempt, giving Kansas the ball at the Tiger 38 trailing 26-7.On the first Kansas play, Memphis defensive tackle Jonathan Wilson intercepted the ball and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown and Memphis carried a 33-7 lead at the break.It shocked me big time, the soft-spoken Wilson said of the play, adding he didnt see any Jayhawks in front of him after he picked off the pass from Kansas quarterback Montell Cozart. I was thinking: `Dont let me get caught.

It was a short-yardage situation. Hes a fast kid, and it was good to see him get out.TAKEAWAYS:KANSAS: The Jayhawks again struggled to open the game. Kansas, which let Ohio build a 22-0 start last week early in the second quarter, trailed Memphis 19-0.MEMPHIS: With the victory, first-year Memphis coach Mike Norvell became the first Tiger coach in history to start his inaugural campaign 2-0. Only two other Memphis coaches won the opener in their first season, and both -- Rey Dempsey in 1984 and Lester Barnard in 1922 -- dropped the second game.ROAD UNKIND: No current Jayhawk has won a game away from Lawrence. The last road win was 34-7 at Texas-El Paso on Sept. 12, 2009.IF YOU CANT JOIN `EM, BEAT `EM: The Tigers played a Big 12 Conference School for the first time since Memphis was eliminated two weeks ago from consideration as a possible expansion target for the conference.FINAL WORD: I still think that we actually have a pretty good football team, if we can just get out of our own way. .Weve just got a lot of things that were having to learn right now that we should already know. -- Kansas coach David BeatyUP NEXT:KANSAS: The Jayhawks have a bye next week before returning to the road to face Texas Tech on Sept. 29.
