Henderson returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a 94-yard touchdown, Kansas' first kick return touchdown since 2020. The last time Kansas took a game or half-opening kickoff back for a touchdown was Greg Heaggans on September 14, 2002, against Southwest Missouri State. He did so on the game-opening kickoff.
