Kansas football: Special teams issues are inexcusable

Kansas football got walloped last Saturday by in-state rival Kansas State, and a big reason why had to do with the Jayhawks’ special teams ineptitude.

It’s a universal truth that Kansas football is not a good team, and quite possibly on their way to a winless season. That being said, the Jayhawks got exposed last Saturday against K-State. Kansas allowed two punts to be returned for touchdowns while also muffing a punt return.

Even on punts that weren’t returned for touchdowns, there were multiple instances of the Wildcats having big returns.
