Kansas football (3-2) (1-1) is in a weird place right now. From an outside perspective, 3-2 with two games split in conference is a good mark. After all, in the grand scheme of things, while the Jayhawks have been able to shake off a number of the past narratives that had built up, it is still Kansas, still a team that will put basketball first, and that's the end of the matter. Yet those with a keen interest in the program will look at the devastating fashion in the 42-31 loss to the Missouri Tigers and the 37-34 loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats and see a repeated theme of not enough juice to close things out.
