Though I’ve been harsh on Kansas football head coach David Beaty, he deserves props for making this a closer game than I thought for his teams Big XII opener. Even though the Baylor Bears defeated the Jayhawks 26-7, his defense made significant improvement in the second half, limiting Baylor’s high-powered offense to a single field goal over the final two quarters.
Sadly, Beaty continues to get an ‘F’ for his rotating quarterback circus. Peyton Bender started, Miles Kendrick relieved him, then left the game with an injury. Bender came back in leading Kansas to its only touchdown drive of the game.
