KU QB Curse

As long as they stick to a simple passing game and run the ball, I think it will be fine.
I expect the offense to at least look more organized than it has in about 10 years.

It’s been a combination of a lack of talent and a lack of organization.
After Reesing left, there was no incoming QB talent. The Gill years were short circuited on whether or not he would be able to recruit a better QB.
Weis was terrible in every facet. No more needs to be said.
The last few years, we have been able to recruit solid enough QBs, but haven’t surrounded them with the scheme or enough overall talent to make any difference. Hopefully the stability that Miles brings will also allow a QB to actually develop at KU. We aren’t in a position to recruit a five star guy that can come in and start immediately, so we need enough stability in the program to allow a QB to actually develop within the program for a year or two before starting.
An improved offensive line and some more playmakers on the outside should also help.

@justanotherfan Did you see the stats for the qbs after they left KU? Much improved. Is the big12 that tuff or does KU suck that bad at the supporting positions -line, receiver?

I watched Ryan Willis gut Va Tech to a victory over UNC in Chapel Hill last fall. It took a UNC fumble on the goal line, but Willis led a really great drive to ice it for Tech. The whole experience gave me a sad.

KU’s line was among the worst in D1 for a while. Tom Brady would have looked average behind that line.
