David Beaty and most Kansas football fans won’t accept moral victories. As a matter of fact, those feel good final scores are not worth much. On the other hand, Jayhawk fans should take something positive from Saturday’s 30-20 loss in Sunflower Showdown.
After shutout losses in their previous two games, I had no clue what the Jayhawks might do against the purple ‘Cats. Fortunately, center Mesa Ribordy played and anchored the Jayhawk offensive line. His return helped the Jayhawks beat KSU in many statistical categories except the final score.
Kansas football had five more first downs than the ‘Cats.
