Kansas’ 42-17 loss last Saturday hurt for several reasons. The biggest of which was probably the fact that the Jayhawks were favorites heading into it, proving the blue-tinted glasses that Kansas fans were wearing were warranted. Yet a 25-point loss quickly brings down those hopes.
“We’re thoroughly outplayed. They executed better than us. They were more physical than us, and that’s very disappointing. And as a head coach, it’s your responsibility to have them ready to go,” quoted Kansas head coach Lance Leipold after the game.
Kansas State totaled 371 yards compared to Kansas’ 247; the Wildcats’ 231 is 94 more passing yards than the Jayhawks’ 137.
