COMMENTARY
LAWRENCE, Kan. — For Jayhawks fans, Saturday’s football defeat stung not nearly so much as losing top-10 point guard Immanuel Quickley to John Calipari the night before.
And come Sunday, citizens of Rock Chalk Nation will pause more intently for the commitment decision of 6-foot-10 big man David McCormack than they did for what Khalil Herbert accomplished inside Memorial Stadium.
Herbert’s 291 yards rushing surpassed by 8 yards the best game Gale Sayers ever enjoyed at Kansas, which invites the punchline that Kansas seemingly hasn’t enjoyed much about football since Gayle Sayers.
