Missouri State will provide litmus test for KU's defensive improvement

It hasn’t always been easy for Kansas football teams to defend against Football Championship Subdivision foes, and it hasn’t always been easy for power-conference teams to defend against Missouri State. Last season, the Bears led 27-17 in the fourth quarter against Arkansas — the same team that eventually beat KU in three overtimes in the 2022 Liberty Bowl — before allowing 21 straight points in a close ...

KU sent 25 shots at the Tigers' goal, including 13 on target. Magali Gagné and Lexi Watts led the ...

KU Fall Sports Preview: Healthier soccer team hoping to fulfill high potential

By the end of last season it might have been easier to count the Kansas soccer players who were available to play, rather than those who were out. Forgive the hyperbole, but in truth KU suffered eight season-ending injuries in 2022. That meant that by the end of the year the Jayhawks were missing eager newcomers (Mackenzie Hammontree and Hallie Klanke), promising returnees (Mya Sheridan, Magali Gagné and ...
