As if getting smoked 51-14 by TCU wasn’t bad enough, Kansas football also lost its leading rusher, Khalil Herbert. In a strange sequence of events, Herbert was announced as out for the game that morning due to “personal reasons.”
The news not only came as a shock to fans but apparently came as a shock to the Kansas football team as well. Senior Bryce Torneden was quoted after the game saying that he found out “right before” the game.
Under NCAA rules, players may play still consider their season a redshirt year if they play less than five games.
