These Jayhawks are not an illusion. They aren't a dominant football team, but for once they are a solid, competitive football team. They proved that today by going on the road and taking down a Houston team that was favored by nine, and doing it in convincing fashion.
It's worth noting that in both the last two weeks, Kansas benefited from some lucky bounces. Still, that doesn't explain away the Jayhawks' offensive performances. After racking up 55 points and 419 yards in Morgantown, Kansas scored 48 with 440 yards in Houston, as the Jayhawks cruised past the Cougars 48-30.
