Jayhawk football schedule. Wissox Forecast.
-
My opinion, JD6 should be sharper. I expect meltdowns to not be so horrific. I think the offense gets back its mojo.
7+ wins
-
I think I agree entirely with @wissox except for Arizona. They seem to be in a bad spot. 10 wins is attainable which would put us in contention for a trip to Arlington.
-
@Kcmatt7 All I keep hearing how crisp, JD-6 has looked. Really focused. I think some people are overlooking KU this Season , I hope JD and Henderson become lethal.— I’m not shy I truly believe great chance for a Nine win Season.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Agree with me at your own peril!

7-8 and I’d be pretty happy. More than that OR one of the wins is against KSU and I’m thrilled.
-
Vegas odds are 6.5 wins, but it is weighted more towards 7 than 6 fwiw.
-
People forget JD6 was as listed as a heisman hopeful by several media outlets just a few years ago. He seemed to be overthinking quite often last season and scared to run the ball when he had 15 yards of green right in front of him. Football is a game you can’t play scared
-
@kjayhawks I don’t forget how talented he is.
-
@wissox Right if you think about how great Bean was in 2023 and JD beat him out in camp. He looked better early in 2022 as well.
-
JD6 is talented but injuries have ruined him. He is not the Heisman caliber QB he was for the first half of the 2022 season.
-
KU football seems to have a better chance of making the playoffs than KU basketball does of making the sweet 16. What weird times.
-
@Jhawk69 I think the OC was responsible for making him looking so bad last year until something switched. Maybe Lance got tired of it, not sure how that change occurred, but I’d put the breaks on he’s ruined talk.
Of course you could say Kostelny (?) was responsible for how good he looked the year before.
-
@wissox The OC change was definitely a negative last year. Hope they have it right now.
-
There will be two big scheme changes that are JD (and most QBs) friendly under Z/Lubick. First, attacking the middle of the field more. There was a stark contrast in Kotelnicki vs. Grimes in how they called the passing game. Also having a better receiving TE in Hanika will help. Next is the option game. JD can be lethal in the option game as we saw in 22. Lots of that was Lubick’s brainchild. Grimes barely called any (and sometimes forgot #4 existed). So those changes will be big, along with a more talented WR corps. The old trio were great, but Grimm was really the only guy that could consistently get separation. Henderson and Pickett both have burst and suddenness to win 1 on 1 and turn a slant into 6.
-
@wissox I don’t think he is ruined. I think he is still a decent college QB but I don’t think we will ever see 2022 JD again.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Interesting. I don’t know anything about the new receivers, but I thought that trio we had were super talented and to hear you say these guys are better is exciting.
-
@wissox Grimm and Arnold were good possession/slot receivers, but neither had great high end speed. Skinner was the best home run threat, but he wasn’t a great route runner and his hands were below average.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 That all may be true but they were spectacular in a KU uniform.
-
Skinner did have a heck of a grab today for the Jets so that was cool
-
Hard to believe in a little more than a week this team is going to be playing and making my predictions come true.
-
Nice to see KU receivers ball out tonight in the preseason. Skinner had a nice one hand TD for the jets and Grimm took back a punt for the chargers. Will miss the talented WR corps we’ve had the last few years.
-
So far so good regarding your predictions.
-
@Jhawk69 Anyone could have predicted those 3 results!!
-
@wissox I predicted those 3 results too. Where our picks first diverge is that you picked us to beat WVU and I picked us to lose. Here’s hoping you are right about that one.
-
@Jhawk69 WVU went to Ohio last weekend and lost to Ohio (not State!) I think we can handle them!
-
They lost despite the fact that Ohio’s QB threw 3 interceptions. But I have an eerie feeling WVU will bounce back and play a lot better against us.
-
@Jhawk69 getting an extra week to prepared and with how they have looked. There is not an excuse good enough to lose to WVU imo.
