Well that was... interesting.
According to our very own David, SEMO came into the game with a similar statistical profile as Rhode Island did in 2016.
And Kansas is supposed to be improved this year, right? So, what’s up with a 22 point win? 2016 Kansas destroyed Rhode Island by 45 points.
The Jayhawks did score on their first two possessions, taking a 14-0 lead while SEMO’s first two drives were 3-and-out. A great start! But then the Kansas offense went stagnant, gaining 42 total yards on its next four possessions, a number which doesn’t include a fumble on a punt return by Tyler Patrick (so technically, five possessions).
