All season, the narratives have rightfully been on the team’s lack of defensive prowess when the game is at its most tense.
Against Missouri in the Border Showdown with 8:45 to play, Kansas gave up a 10-play 75-yard drive, which ate up 4:31 of the clock to prove the game-sealing touchdown to go up 35-31.
Weeks later, against the Cincinnati Bearcats, with 1:45 to play, another 10-play and 75-yard drive allowed for running back Tawee Walker to churn into the endzone with 29 seconds to play, sealing another Kansas defeat, this one a 37-34 home loss to Cincinnati.
