KU coach Lance Leipold erupts after Arizona State player lights up QB Jalon Daniels

Kansas Jayhawks quarterback Jalon Daniels threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Quentin Skinner late in the fourth quarter against Arizona State. But that drive will almost certainly be remembered for a different play the QB was involved in.

Facing a third-and-7, Daniels dropped back to pass when an Arizona State player jumped across the line early, drawing a flag for offside. Daniels scrambled to his left and was lit up by another Arizona State player, Clayton Smith, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness.

Kansas coach Lance Leipold erupted on the sideline and ran onto the field, screaming to the officials. He was eventually held back by KU coaches.

Moments later, as the Jayhawks lined up for their next play, the play went under review for targeting, and was deemed to be so, leading to an ejection for Smith. He will miss the first half of Arizona State’s next game.

Kansas trailed 28-24 at the time of the ejection and would go up 31-28 on Daniels’ long touchdown pass. However, Arizona State answered with a touchdown with 16 seconds left.
