by LAWRENCE, Kan. — Dylan Edwards scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:06 to play on Saturday, but UCF answered with a touchdown on the game’s final snap to beat Kansas 33-32 at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
Edwards finished with 13 carries for 22 yards and one touchdown — a two-yard run that capped a 95-yard drive and, with the two-point conversion, gave Kansas a 32-26 lead. He also lost a fumble in the second quarter.

A 30-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Marshall cut it to 26-14, and the Jayhawks scored 18 fourth-quarter points — a Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman touchdown, a field goal, and Edwards’s go-ahead score — before UCF drove 73 yards in the final minute, winning on Alonza Barnett III’s six-yard touchdown pass to Caden Piening with one second left.
Marshall threw for 210 yards on 21-of-32 passing and ran for a game-high 125 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas. Cummings-Coleman added 48 rushing yards and a touchdown, and Keaton Kubecka caught five passes for 71 yards.
