In the close to thirty years I have watched football and actually remembered it, I have never blamed a loss singularly on one single player. The first game I remember with absolute certainty was the Redskins defeat of the Bills in the Super Bowl. Had I remembered one year earlier, I still would not have blamed the Bills 20-19 loss on Scott Norwood, to add some perspective.

Rutgers Football: Alarm Bells Ring In Epic Loss To Kansas - On the Banks
After Saturday’s catastrophic 41 point loss to Kansas, there is no way to sugarcoat the fact that the Rutgers football program is a complete mess on the field.

David Beaty pleased with KU's win, but not dwelling on it
When Beaty was chasing his first win and then finally attained it, the ensuing press conference was filled with emotion. Beaty was again emotional when winning his first FBS game. When the Jayhawks snapped their 46-game road losing streak last week, some of that emotion seemed to return.

Does KU football have a QB controversy? Here's the latest
If you're trying to figure out who the starting quarterback is going to be against Baylor, you can pretty much narrow it down to two candidates — with all due respect to Carter Stanley, who competed for the job in Fall Camp, and Miles Fallin, who actually got into the game against Rutgers when Stanley's helmet was knocked off and he was forced to come out for a play.
