Analysis: Les Miles, Carter Stanley answer Qs with blowout of BC

Still, no matter how absurd it sounds, the Jayhawks do have a path to six wins; crazier things have happened. First things first though, a few criteria must be met.

Kansas’ stunning upset shows Les Miles is back
It has been nearly three full years since Les Miles ingloriously left the college football sideline, fired from LSU after a September loss to Auburn in 2016.
