But through three games, the Jayhawks have been on the wrong side of those key plays, including in Friday night’s 23-20 loss to UNLV at Children’s Mercy Park. The Jayhawks (1-2) had multiple opportunities to put the game away. Instead, for a second straight week, Kansas lost a winnable game.

As wacky as the injury flop was to watch, it may not have been the wildest moment in the game. That came later in the fourth quarter on a 1st down play from the UNLV 47-yard line, when quarterback Matthew Sluka scrambled up the middle and fumbled the ball.

Kylin James scored on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line with 1:51 left to lift UNLV past Kansas 23-20 at Children’s Mercy Park.
