The Kansas Jayhawks are now nearly 72 hours out of a 42-17 loss to the now No. 7 Texas Tech Red Raiders, and yet there is still one stinging reason why Kansas really lost that game. The rushing defense.
To be honest, the expectations for the Jayhawks heading into Saturday were narrow. Texas Tech dominates the nation in nearly every offensive and defensive stat, and to make things worse, they were playing at home, during primetime.
Yet the thing that Kansas was probably least expecting was a thumping ground game.
“When you go 70, the first play of the game, you're gonna have a chance to have a really good [game], and then have another 55-yarder.
