Just a few weeks ago, KU’s defense had an alarming issue. The Jayhawks couldn’t get a stop on third down.
Entering the final bye week of the season, Kansas ranked 129th out of 130 FBS teams in third-down defense. Opponents were converting 53% of the time against KU, which only led UTEP at the time.

Cunningham, who was actually sidelined with an injury, saw enough from his team to ...
