Self says Bidunga will return soon, play prominent role when he does

Kansas center Flory Bidunga didn't put any weight on his leg as he left the floor late in the first half on Tuesday night. The Congolese freshman's left foot came down at an odd angle after he jumped to contest a post entry pass from UNC Wilmington's Josh Corbin to Khamari McGriff. He exited with five minutes left in the first half due to a hurt ankle, went to the locker room and didn't return to the Jayhawks' ...

Instead, Daniels took the snap and punted. The ball improbably bounced ...

KU defense reversed season-long trends in BYU upset

Provo, Utah — In virtually all of the Kansas football team’s six losses this season, the Jayhawks’ defense had a chance to get one decisive stop and seal a victory. At Illinois, KU gave up a go-ahead touchdown and then a clock-killing drive that resulted in a field goal.
