This isn’t the time to write an article picking up KU fans off the floor after Saturday’s 37-34 loss to Cincinnati. After all, there were paltry defensive numbers, including 603 yards given up, with a healthy 215 given up on the ground on just 37 carries.
Anyway, we want to spin this loss into at least one very positive performance. Emmanuel Henderson Jr.
Henderson is a transfer from Alabama who joined the Jayhawks during the offseason, and he has looked every bit capable of playing for almost any team in the nation. The running back turned wideout recently compiled 214 yards for two touchdowns on just five receptions, the most notable being this massive 93-yard reception.
