MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Every time Kansas seemed to have any momentum against Memphis, they gave the ball away.Six times, as a matter of fact.And the Tigers didnt hesitate to seize the opportunities.Memphis dominated the game defensively, grabbed an early lead and coasted to a 43-7 win over Kansas on Saturday, sending the Jayhawks to their 39th consecutive road loss.Ive never been in a game where we even came close to having that many turnovers, Kansas coach David Beaty said. Man, thats a bunch, and it continued to happen throughout the day.Riley Ferguson threw for 189 yards and two touchdowns and Jake Elliott kicked a trio of field goals -- including a 50-yarder -- as Memphis built an early lead and coasted to victory.Ferguson completed 15 of 24 passes for Memphis (2-0), the bulk of his passing yards coming on an 84-yard completion to Anthony Miller for the games first score. In addition to his 50-yarder, Elliott converted kicks of 41 and 42 yards. Memphis showed no ill-effects of a bye week after winning its opener 35-17 over Southeast Missouri State.We talked a lot about starting fast, and were really pleased with our guys preparation, Memphis coach Mike Norvell said. I thought we started fast. Defense did an incredible job. They were completely dominant.The Jayhawks, (1-2) struggled offensively throughout, although they managed 314 yards of total offense. Any momentum, though, was thwarted by the Jayhawks four fumbles and two interceptions in the game.A key swing came when Memphis reached the Kansas 13 in the closing minutes of the half. A sack and a tackle for loss, plus a couple of penalties put Memphis near midfield.Then Memphis muffed the punt attempt, giving Kansas the ball at the Tiger 38 trailing 26-7.On the first Kansas play, Memphis defensive tackle Jonathan Wilson intercepted the ball and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown and Memphis carried a 33-7 lead at the break.It shocked me big time, the soft-spoken Wilson said of the play, adding he didnt see any Jayhawks in front of him after he picked off the pass from Kansas quarterback Montell Cozart. I was thinking: `Dont let me get caught.The Jayhawks never came close to Wilson and never came close to threatening the Tigers in the second half after Memphis added Elliotts 50-yard field goal and a fourth-quarter 8-yard scoring run by Tony Pollard.Kansas only touchdown came on a third-and-1 play when Khalil Herbert broke the first wave of Memphis defenders bunched at the line of scrimmage and went 66 yards for a second-quarter touchdown.That was good to see for our line, our guys up front, continuing to work and continuing to push, Beaty said. It was a short-yardage situation. Hes a fast kid, and it was good to see him get out.TAKEAWAYS:KANSAS: The Jayhawks again struggled to open the game. Kansas, which let Ohio build a 22-0 start last week early in the second quarter, trailed Memphis 19-0.MEMPHIS: With the victory, first-year Memphis coach Mike Norvell became the first Tiger coach in history to start his inaugural campaign 2-0.

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. A Livestrong bracelet is a fixture on Jordan Leggetts wrist, but it takes a beating. In the trenches at Clemson, it invariably stretches or tears, so a few times each season, a new one arrives in the mail as a replacement. As Leggetts playing time has increased since his freshman year and his tenacity as a blocker has blossomed, he has started wrapping tape around the bracelet to keep it intact, but it still snaps from time to time.Theyre getting broken more often, said Denise Lockwood, whos been supplying the senior tight end with the bracelets from his hometown of Navarre, Florida, since he arrived at Clemson. We just sent him 10 more.The bracelets are meant to be symbolic, to serve as reminders. But for Leggett, this routine is particularly fitting. He wears it for the teammate whod always pushed him to work harder, and now each time he needs a little extra, Ian Lockwoods family is still there with a little more motivation.Six years after Lockwood died of brain cancer, Leggetts career at Clemson is coming to a close. He arrived overmatched, blissfully unaware of how hard his path to success would be. He is leaving as a two-time finalist for the Mackey Award -- given annually to college footballs most outstanding tight end -- and as the school record holder for catches, yards and touchdowns for a tight end. Lockwood has been with him every step of the way.We both loved football, Leggett said, and with it being taken away from him, I just try to keep his legacy on my shoulders.Leggett was a high school sophomore when he was paired up to share a locker with Lockwood, a senior and team captain at Navarre High School. Leggett was all talent -- bigger and faster than nearly everyone else on the field. Success came easily. Lockwood was all effort -- one of those 110 percent all the time kids, his mother, Denise, said. Lockwood asked to be partnered with Leggett. He wanted to see how good Leggett could be if that talent was matched with Lockwoods drive.The two became fast friends, and Leggett soon felt he was part of the Lockwood family. When Ian got sick, Leggett became a fixture at the house. The two were virtually inseparable.Lockwood played six games his senior season in 2010 before the cancer forced him from the field. He delayed a third brain surgery until after Navarres season ended -- a one-point defeat in triple overtime that Denise described as devastating. The family became close with former Florida and current Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, staying at the Meyer house on trips to Gainesville for treatment. Lockwood addressed the Gators before their bowl game that December, barely able to get out of bed but determined to make an impact. Leggett had planned to visit Lockwood in the hospital on Jan. 28, 2011, but Denise said Ian wasnt feeling up to it. Ian died hours later.It was rough, Leggett said. A sad day.But it wasnt the end of Ian Lockwoods story. Leggett and the rest of his Navarre teammates have seen to that.Leggett was promised Lockwoods No. 10 at Clemson, but that didnt pan out. Instead, he wears No. 16 -- the sum of Lockwoods high school jersey and his own.When Leggett left Navarre for Clemson, Denise gave him a small vial with Ians ashes inside. Shed done it for all of Ians former teammates whod moved along. Most kept it close -- on a bedside table or hanging from a rearview mirror -- but Leggett had another idea. Before Clemsons spring game in 2013, he walked to one of the 10-yard lines at Memorial Stadium and spread his friends ashes there. Three years later, the Lockwoods watched from the stands as Leggett and Clemson knocked off Florida State. Afterward, they took a family photo at the 10-yard line.For Leggett, however, the mementos are everywhere.On his first bus ride around Clemson Memorial Stadium (aka Death Valley) before Clemson hosted Georgia in 2013, he texted Denise.dddddddddddd. He was thinking of Ian. He could feel Ian with him.I cried a lot, Denise said. Then we watched the bus stop and saw Jordan run down the hill, and it was really special.Theres a cross hanging in Leggetts bedroom that Denise gave him. Leggett looks at it every day and thinks of Ian.All my passwords for social media have something to do with him, Leggett said.What matters most, however, are those trips back home. Six years after Ians death, Leggett still thinks of the Lockwood house as a second home and still calls Denise Mama. Theyll make sushi together for dinner or go out on the Lockwoods boat to relax. In so many ways, its as if Ian is still there with them. The ashes and the cross and the bracelet are Leggetts reminders, but for the Lockwoods, simply having Leggett in their lives is a way to stay close to their son.It helps fill that little empty spot they have in their heart now, Leggett said.The Lockwood family has helped push Leggett, too, and thats something hes desperately needed during his career.The photo of Leggett scattering Ians ashes came up in Denises Facebook Timehop app recently, and she was astonished at how young he looked. He was thin and baby-faced, hardly the physically imposing presence he is today on Clemsons offense. Those early years were a struggle for Leggett, far from home with limited playing time and an uncertain future. Hed chosen Clemson because it felt like family, but he wondered if hed made the right decision. Denise was astonished.We told him to go back, to show them you want it, Denise said. And thats what he did.It wasnt that Leggett had been lazy, its just that hed been used to things coming easily. He was talented, and that was both an asset and a drawback.It wasnt uncommon when kids are more gifted talent-wise, they rely on those things, said Chad Lashley, Leggetts high school coach. There were times you had to challenge him and get onto him, but hed always respond.Ian had seen that early, and he pushed Leggett to make the most of his ability. Denise has done the same.Leggett returned to Clemson with renewed enthusiasm. He hit the weight room and bulked up. He worked on his blocking to become a more refined tight end. He engaged his teammates, pushing them to follow his lead. He tried to follow in Ians footsteps.It took a little while early on to get him to understand, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. Hes just become so much more of a complete player these last couple years and has impacted our team in a great way. Hes become a great leader, too. Hes become one of the most committed guys.Leggett finished his junior season with 40 catches for 525 yards and eight touchdowns, a school record for tight ends. He considered leaving for the NFL, but the draw of a final run for a championship was strong. He wanted to keep getting better, to finish what he started. Its another lesson learned from his friend, who was forced to leave so many dreams unfulfilled.Denise sees the impact its made. Leggett is stronger, more humble. Hes comfortable in his role but pushes to do more. She sees the impact her son made on Leggett, and for her, its a way to keep Ians memory alive.And so she sends the bracelets, and Leggett wears them as both a reminder and a motivator. Before each game, hell get a text from Denise, just saying shes thinking of him and wishing him luck, and he knows the family will be watching him.Everybody wants to make Ian proud, Denise said. They work hard knowing he didnt get that opportunity. ' ' '
