  "account": "Lawrence, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Jayhawks staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Baylor 25-24 and secure their first Big 12 win of the season on Saturday. Backed by a dominant defensive effort, the Jayhawks rallied from a double-digit second-half deficit to secure victory after a last-minute blocked field goal attempt.\n\nQuarterback Isaiah Marshall played a major role, scoring all three of Kansas' touchdowns with his 15-yard run. The running back also found the end zone twice via pass, contributing to his impressive game performance. Marshall's touchdown pass to Carson Bruhn was his first career score.\n\nBaylor's defense was solid throughout the game, recording five sacks and forcing two turnovers. The defense led by interceptions from Devon Jordan and Micah Gifford, who both had three picks apiece. Gifford's interception came early in the game, but Baylor managed to organize a 22-yard touchdown pass to Dawson Pendergrass after forcing a turnover on downs.\n\nBaylor stormed back with a touchdown run by Pendergrass after a 51-yard kickoff return. The Bears capitalized on a Kansas fumble and converted a crucial third-down conversion, taking a 7-7 lead. However, Kansas managed to cut the deficit to three points with a Martin Connington field goal, and then extended their lead with a 40-yard field goal of their own.\n\nThe Jayhawks were able to secure the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, with Marshall connecting with Nik McMillan for a 34-yard strike. Despite Kansas missing a crucial two-point conversion, they held on to win the game.",
