What KU Football Cannot Overcome.

@Jayhawk_69 I disagree about the talent gap on ASU, we dominated that game statistically and made some insane errors for a D1 college football team. I’m not sure anyone that watched that would chalk it up as they had better horses than us. Utah and Missouri had better rosters but not ASU. We could’ve beat Missouri and Utah if we played mistake free football and didn’t turn it over. To beat a better team, you have to play well and get the ball to bounce your way.

I did not say there was a talent gap between us and ASU. I said that it was a special game being played in London and that there was no way we would win such a game, as the pressure is too much for us.
Regarding Utah and Misery, you proved me right by saying "if we played mistake free football". Kansas football and mistake-free football are mutually-exclusive terms.

@JoJoAndMe I think Marshall is WAY better than average. He just doesn't have enough experience yet. If he stayed here 6 years (lol) his numbers would far exceed those of the current Tampa Bay starting QB

@Jayhawk_69 the penalties are really starting to grind my gears. It’s a reflection of poor coaching. Do you think there is a big talent gap against KSU?
-
I don't think the talent gap between KU and KSU is huge, but we never win rivalry games and we reeeaaally like to shoot ourselves in the foot against KSU. There will be lots of dropped passes, botched snaps, muffed returns etc.

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 don’t think athletics has the money to replace him and hire someone and find the NIL budget to become competitive.
Good or bad I think we have LL for a bit.

@Jayhawk_69 I expect us to lose against them until I actually see us beat them again. I imagine the game will be close and we will do a few stupid things to either blow the game or blow it wide open for them. I like Travis Goff but one the dumbest things I’ve ever read about sports related in recent years was him telling or sending someone over to KSU before the game last year telling them to expect a field rushing after the game. Give the team extra motivation in a rivalry game. Smooth brain activity.
