Carter Stanley's performance not enough in 48-28 loss to OSU

New starting quarterback Carter Stanley only did so much for the Kansas football team’s chances Saturday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, where 18,364 fans saw Oklahoma State dismember the Jayhawks’ defense. When the Cowboys weren’t gashing the Jayhawks with Justice Hill runs they directed Taylor Cornelius to take deep shots down the field. The senior quarterback obliged, giving OSU a complementary ...

Notebook: Carter Stanley earns start, plays every snap in loss to OSU

After four weeks of starting Peyton Bender at quarterback and rotating the senior in and out of the lineup to varying degrees each game, Kansas football coach David Beaty took an entirely different approach against Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Sure, the University of Kansas junior made eight total tackles, the third-most on the team, during a loss at Baylor. But ask the man whose previous 11 starts at the FBS level came at cornerback to assess his impact as a safety this past weekend and “all right” is as close to glowing as he will ...

Jayhawks learning from Pooka Williams' Big 12 debut

Kansas football coaches and players knew headed into Big 12 play that opposing defenses would base their schemes around stopping freshman running back Pooka Williams. Now, the Jayhawks have experienced what that looks and feels like. A potentially explosive playmaker in the open field, Williams mostly got smothered by Baylor defenders this past Saturday, with the exception of one 72-yard burst down the right ...

David Beaty: 'No excuse' for some of KU football's timeout issues

According to Kansas football coach David Beaty, “there was a lot to learn” from his team’s Big 12 opening loss at Baylor this past weekend.
