KU football doing its best to prepare for unknowns Bears bring into opener

If it were up to Baylor football coach Dave Aranda, the Kansas coaches would already have plenty of the Bears’ footage to study heading into the first weekend of Big 12 competition. That’s because BU’s first-year head coach was eager to lead his players onto the field in Waco, Texas, before all involved with the program were hit with the disappointment of seeing their opener against Houston postponed due ...

TK Williams not satisfied, despite productive 1st career start

Don’t get Takulve "TK" Williams wrong. The junior receiver was happy to make his first career start for the Kansas football team in the season opener.
