The meeting came on Monday, two days after Kansas’ 30-20 loss against Texas Tech. KU coach David Beaty sat down with his leadership council, a group of players who convene regularly to give voice to the roster and guidance to the young players in the program. Beaty addresses many subjects during these meetups, but this week, there was one issue that piqued his curiosity.
His defense.
In the Jayhawks’ first five games, the KU defense had been gashed for 45.4 points per game. Then came last Saturday afternoon, when the Jayhawks bowed up and held an offensive-centric Texas Tech to just 30 points.
