After playing three games without securing even one takeaway, perhaps the odds were in the Kansas defense’s favor on Saturday at West Virginia. “We were due. We were close,” acting head coach Josh Eargle said after the Jayhawks finally captured both their first fumble and interception of 2020 in a 38-17 loss. Despite another poor showing for the KU offense, the Jayhawks remained within striking distance ...
Four losses and zero wins into their 10-game football season, the Kansas Jayhawks still lack an obvious first-string quarterback. Junior Miles Kendrick’s audition for the job Saturday at West Virginia, Kendrick admitted following a 38-17 defeat, didn’t help his case. “Honestly, I didn’t really think there was too much that I did that could show that (he should take over),” Kendrick said, after going ...
With head coach Les Miles back in Lawrence, watching his Kansas football game on television, the offense misfired far too often Saturday at West Virginia for the Jayhawks to rally around their absent recovering leader.
