With OU next, Jayhawks’ linemen to get no rest | KUsports.com
OU’s 25 sacks in seven games this season place them two behind the Cowboys, who lead the Big 12 and rank third in the nation. Both teams are averaging just under four sacks per game, and the Sooners, who hit Texas Tech for four sacks in a 63-27 victory last week, could have the luxury of facing a KU team playing without its top tackle.
Jayhawks hope to corral Perine this year | KUsports.com
With the wounds of that woeful performance so fresh in their minds, the who played or coached in that game a year ago are using it as motivation to slow Perine’s roll this time around. Given the fact that the OU back is coming off a 23-carry, 201-yard effort in last week’s victory over Texas Tech (both season-highs), the Jayhawks (0-7 overall, 0-4 Big 12) know they have their work cut out for them. With that said, they’re not exactly dwelling on last year’s historic outing.
Kansas' Ryan Willis has overcome odds to become starting QB - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
According to ESPN Stats and Information, Willis has been pressured on 24.4 percent of his dropbacks since taking over as the starter against Baylor on Oct. 10. Only Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield, Iowa State's Sam B. Richardson and West Virginia's Skyler Howard have a higher pressure rate in the Big 12 during that span. Willis' competitive nature has been a key piece of the puzzle, helping him to keep competing despite the physical toll and lack of wins for the 0-7 Jayhawks.
Sooners vs. Jayhawks | Beaty - "Our Goal Is To Win For Our Fans" - Crimson And Cream Machine
A football coach has to be able to sell. He's got to sell his program to recruits and he's got to sell confidence to his players. Of course he's not going to take the podium and question whether his team can play with Oklahoma. He's knows it's a challenge and he's excited to see his team step up to it. If he wasn't then he should have never even left his office to come a meet with the media. Any team can win on any given day, right?
In this week's episode, Shaffer picks on KU run game coordinator/offensive line coach Zach Yenser.
First-year Kansas football coach David Beaty speaks with media members about KU's Saturday homecoming game against No. 14 Oklahoma. Beaty addresses the Sooners' formidable running game, led by Semaje Perine, who last season set an FBS single-game rushing record with 427 yards against the Jayhawks.
