The Kansas football team had their best opportunity to win a Big 12 game in 2017. David Beaty’s Jayhawks didn’t get the job done. A winless Baylor team with a freshman quarterback won their first game of the season 38-9.
One play summed up the game and the in some ways the 2017 Kansas football season. With 2:56 left in the third quarter, Baylor had a 21-9 lead. The Bears faced a fourth down and goal at the Jayhawk 1-yard line. I thought they might go for a chip-shot field goal. They lined up to go for the touchdown and a potential knockout punch.
