Watch: Kansas' Daniel Hishaw plows through Duke defense for awesome 73-yard touchdown

Kansas Jayhawks fans finally have a reason to be excited about their football team thanks to a stunning 3-0 start on the season. 

On Saturday, Daniel Hishaw sent a packed house into an absolute frenzy when he turned a short pass into a 73-yard touchdown that saw him plow through the Duke defense and just flat out runs through tackles.

You just do not typically see that sort of energy at a Jayhawks football game, and it is really fun to see. 

Kansas has not had a winning season since 2008 and has been one of the worst FBS programs in the country over the past 14 years. It has not won more than three games in a season since 2009 (when it won five) and won only five games over the previous three seasons...combined.

The Jayhawks already have three wins this season entering play on Saturday, including one Big 12 Conference win (West Virginia) and a win over a team that entered the season ranked in the top 25 (Houston).
