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. It’s just that Williams’ most productive college game to date didn’t exactly meet his standards. “I feel like I didn’t play that well, because I turned the ball over,” Williams said, referencing a lost fumble on the Jayhawks’ second possession of ...
Eventually the Kansas football offense might get back to playing one quarterback week in and week out, the way the Jayhawks did in Les Miles’ first season as head coach. But for the time being at least, it appears KU will keep rotating at the position.
