So, is this progress?

The Kansas football team lost 56-34 to West Virginia on a sunny afternoon at Memorial Stadium, trailing by eight to start the fourth quarter before turnovers turned a competitive game into a late blowout.

In the process, the Jayhawks set new offensive records … while also continuing to allow points at an alarming rate.

Start with the good for KU: Khalil Herbert’s 291 rushing yards were the most by an FBS player this year. The 34 points were the most against a non-FCS opponent in the David Beaty era and also the Jayhawks’ highest output in a conference game since 2014.
