Kansas Football: Why the Jayhawks need a win against South Dakota

Jayhawks head coach Lance Leipold paces between various quadrents at Monday monrings football practice at the University of Kansas.

The first game of the Lance Leipold era is almost here as Kansas football welcomes the South Dakota Coyotes to Lawrence on Friday night.

The Jayhawks lead the all-time series against South Dakota 2-0, with the last win coming in 2013 by a score of 31-14. KU hopes to extend that winning record to 3-0 this weekend, and it’s important they do so for a number of reasons.

Scarce Opportunities

Kansas has the ninth toughest schedule in the country, according to BetMGM.
