Kansas improved in nearly every statistical category last week! Added bonus? We're only last in the league in FIVE categories instead of EVERY SINGLE category! More good news? Oklahoma doesn't look nearly as daunting as Oklahoma State!
How about the realistic spin? Oklahoma has likely faced tougher opponents. Kansas still has a LONG way to go. The Jayhawks are probably catching a surging Sooner squad coming off a huge win against Texas.
Honestly at this point I think the best takeaway from this is how is Kansas doing year over year. Looking at the matchups doesn't do a lot of good because Kansas still has work to do in order to be competitive. The positives obviously rest on the defensive side of the ball and in the turnover department. The negatives are the offensive production, passing specifically, and the kicking game.
Easy enough, now fix it!
