In a move head coach Les Miles has proven this year he might not make during a video press conference, offensive coordinator Brent Dearmon decided Monday morning to announce who will start at quarterback for the Kansas football team. As KU assistants filled in for Miles, who remains at home convalescing after contracting COVID-19, Dearmon told reporters he had “a bit of striking information” to share: Miles ...
It was impossible to point a finger at just one side of the ball after the Kansas football program’s second-most lopsided defeat since Les Miles took over. The Jayhawks’ 47-7 homecoming loss against Oklahoma State this past weekend wasn’t only because of a dreadful day for the defense, of course.
