Ames, Iowa — The Kansas football team had a hard enough time stopping Iowa State on downs one through three, but when the Cyclones got to fourth down, the Jayhawks’ defense reached a new level of porousness. KU allowed a fourth-down conversion on ISU’s game-opening touchdown drive, then three touchdowns on fourth downs in the second half. The defense’s inability to get off the field at those moments ...
Ames, Iowa — When the Kansas football team entered its final game of 2024 at 5-6, seeking one more win to secure bowl eligibility, it was riding high, having just beaten three consecutive ranked opponents for an improbable winning streak.

The Jayhawks, who had previously been swept just once on the season (Sept. 21 at Creighton) and not at all in conference play, suffered in recent days a pair of resounding losses at the ...
The Kansas football team had two or fewer sacks in five consecutive games before redshirt freshman Dakyus Brinkley was involved in a pair of sacks on consecutive plays on Nov. 8. Early in the second quarter Brinkley wiggled his way around Arizona tackle Tristan Bounds to bring down Noah Fifita by his left leg, then on the next snap lined up on the opposite side, bounced off a chip from a tight end and dodged Ty ...
