What KU Football Cannot Overcome.
-
I'd kick the FG since we need it anyways.
-
Game is now on ESPN.
-
Just glad they’re putting up a fight
-
Wow, our defense is still uh, porous.

I thought the D looked better so far this year, but man this was not the showing I was expecting
-
I thought the defense was decent til
Tonight. If they show a pulse we win -
If there is one bright spot out of this Marshall may be figuring out the speed of the game. If the offense can get clicking we may win another game or two.
-
I’ll add this after Willie Fritz wins in Manhattan. In 2011 I commented we should go get him. Instead we got Weis. He was a candidate when we hired a position coach named Beaty. LL is the best hire in the coaches since MM but we missed hardcore on this guy.
-
Wow. Should have 14 more. Such a Jayhawk football loss
-
It’s like London all over again on offense inside 2 no points, inside the 7 no points. You can’t do that on the road against a good team. Is it. Bonus we didn’t wait til 2 minutes to go to piss it away??

At some point we just have to call a spade a spade, LL can’t win close games. I know this one looks a blow out on the final score but we gave that away just like we did against ASU. I have a feeling we will do just enough next week for us to think the streak may end. Honestly I think Missouri and Utah are a fair amount better than any team KSU has played. I think talent wise the teams are fairly even but the edge goes to them withQB experience and LL on the sidelines.
-
I'm sure our team is happy. They love finding ways to lose and they did it again.

Constantly shooting themselves in the foot. Maddening.
On the bright side, Marshall seems to be gaining momentum.
Anybody recall that first replay review when the Utah receiver was literally bobbling the ball out of bounds but it was still a catch??
-
Need to invest in the OLine in the offseason. KU has struggled running the ball against the 2 best teams they've played this year with under 3 ypc against both Missouri and last night against Utah.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 That's the key to winning football.
-
Utah averaged 6.6 ypc. We averaged 2.8. This is not an aberration, its what always happens when we play a good team. We absolutely must improve in the trenches.
-
It’s old news but the games are won in the trenches, always have been and always will be. The defensive line isn’t too impressive outside of Harris.
-
I'm usually the Negative Nellie here so I'm not sure what to think. The game I watched had Marshall throwing for 330+ yards and we were about 3 or 4 stupid penalties and a couple of boneheaded play calls from beating one of the best teams in the country on their home turf.

If I’m being a 100% honest this team is more competitive than I thought they would be. That’s what makes the bone headed penalties and give aways more frustrating. Saturday is a big day for Lance. Find away to win this one and everyone suddenly will get a lot of patience back. Lose and the seat starts to get warm. I don’t think he gets fired but there will plenty on that wagon.
-
I could criticize . . . and I have, but they stayed within 24-27 and were a yard from making it 31-34. Then drove 68 yards before turning it over on downs. A case can be made that LL is doing a good job with an average QB and and undersized RB lacking depth.
