Want the magical cure for an offense that suddenly can't score, can't move the ball and can't hold onto the football? It's not Nebraska. 9th in the country at getting to the quarterback, 2nd in the nation in scoring defense and 11th in total defense. None of these are good things. To make matters worse a Husker team that had EIGHT turnovers in one game still has a better overall turnover margin than our Jayhawks.
Amazingly Kansas' offense still looks good on paper, it's dwindling but the stats definitely don't tell the tale of the true struggling nature of this group. On the other side of the ball the defense continues to improve, a silver lining in a season in search of an answer.
Will this be the week Kansas regains it's confidence? Nebraska certainly doesn't give a lot of hope, but it's senior day and if Kansas does get the ball rolling there might never be a better game than this one for the team to really start feeling good about things again. Move the ball against the Corn and you are definitely doing something right. Guess we'll see.
