The first offensive play bothered David Beaty.
In last week’s 37-21 loss to Ohio, the Kansas coach noticed something subtle on film after quarterback Montell Cozart’s pass was knocked down by Kurt Laseak.
“I can just see some winds go out of our sails a little bit for some reason,” Beaty said. “And we got it back, but that play, I showed to our guys and said, ‘Look, hey, you know what? Hey, we’re going to be able to do it on the next play. You’ve got to believe in that.’”
It’s the kind of lapse in focus and energy that Beaty is hoping his team can avoid in Saturday’s road game against Memphis.
