Kansas football coach David Beaty, by making himself the team’s offensive coordinator this week, hoped to revive an offense that ranked last in the Big 12 in yards per play.
That didn’t happen in Saturday’s 48-16 loss at Texas Tech.
KU averaged just 4.4 yards against what was statistically one of the conference’s worst defenses. The Jayhawks’ first 10 drives resulted in just a total of three points, and those came when the team took over at the Texas Tech 2-yard line following a fumble recovery.
It won’t get easier next week, as KU prepares for TCU, which leads the league in both scoring and total defense.
