The college football season is off to an exciting start, and Friday’s game between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Missouri Tigers didn’t disappoint, showcasing some thrilling early-season moments.
Before the game even kicked off, things heated up, with Kansas releasing a hype video that labeled the Tigers as “evil,” referencing Missouri’s history as a slave state in the mid-1800s.
In the end, Missouri had the last say, defeating Kansas 38-21. They even pushed for a final score, which head coach Eli Drinkwitz said was intended to “embarrass” their rivals following the Jayhawks’ social media antics.
All this rivalry drama adds to the charm of college football, but that’s not quite the main focus here.
During the game, Kansas quarterback Isaiah Marshall made what can arguably be called the throw of the year. Sure, it’s only week two, but if you see it, you might just agree that it’s not just impressive—it’s potentially one of the greatest throws of all time.
I honestly can’t figure out how he managed to stay in bounds while making a 15-yard throw to his receiver for a crucial first down.
Forget the typical jump passes; he pulled off a fadeaway, 360-degree, across-the-body throw that was something else entirely.
Despite the final score, Kansas may have stumbled upon a highlight that will stand out in college football for years to come. Marshall struggled with accuracy overall, completing just 43% of his passes and throwing two interceptions, but if he can replicate moments like that throw, the Jayhawks could be looking at an impressive playmaker for the future.
If things go south, Kansas offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki might have to rely on that “no-scope sideline pass” as a secret weapon. Seems like it works, right?
