Tim Bisel: In Year 4 of David Beaty era, KU football's future looks far too similar to its past
Nicholls State did virtually everything in its power to hand David Beaty and Kansas the season opener. The Colonels gift-wrapped the Jayhawks 10 late points with a bad snap that resulted in a safety and a muffed punt that led to a Peyton Bender touchdown pass and two-point conversion. Yet in the end, the FCS visitors from Thibodaux, La., still prevailed, claiming a 26-23 overtime win before a two-thirds empty stadium.
KU football grades: Reviewing the loss to Nicholls State
Peyton Bender's performance may have seemed unspectacular, and generally speaking, his numbers were. However, much of that falls on the offensive line, as Bender received several uncatchable snaps and also had little time to throw on several occasions. His rhythm was also disrupted when Miles Kendrick was inserted into the game for a drive in the first half after Bender had consistently played well and hit receivers all over the field.
