Heavy underdog role a measuring stick

By Andrew Curtis As Saturday’s 110th edition of the battle for Sunflower state supremacy between the Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats gets closer, let’s take a realistic approach. With the Governor’s Cup on the line, KU will travel to the west to take on its rival and the nation’s 7th ranked team, K-State, in Manhattan. We all know how the last two meetings in Lawrence went. Calling them bloodbaths would be an understatement. The good news is, Turner Gill is gone. The bad news is, Bill Snyder is still roaming the sidelines at Kansas State. Snyder is the architect of arguably the greatest turnaround in college football history. K-State, which only made one bowl…

Dayne Crist not the answer at QB

By Andrew Curtis We’re only one-third of the way into the 2012 football season, and Kansas finds itself in the same position as it has for the past few years: hopeless, with a long season ahead. This KU team appears to have improved in most facets (mostly on the defensive side), but it hasn’t shown in the win column. The Jayhawks might be more competitive against superior teams this season, but moral victories aren’t good enough in college football. A main reason for the Jayhawks getting off to a 1-3 start is the subpar play of senior transfer Dayne Crist at quarterback. Crist has only completed 48 percent of his passes, with just 763 yards…

The Recruiting Trail: Kansas can’t catch the Cat

By Nick Ratliff   We’re back here on the Recruiting Trail, and there’s so major news to get to this week. Some major things happened in the world of basketball recruiting this week that drastically changed the recruiting landscape for the 2013 class, so let’s get to it.   The major news since my last blog you’ve probably heard if you follow Kansas basketball recruiting even a little. The news is that Anthony “Cat” Barber, the point guard from Hampton, Virginia who has been the most talked about prospect in the short history of this blog, verbally committed to North Carolina State. On the surface, this appears to be a major blow to next year’s…

Despite Another Loss, Kansas Defense Making Strides

By Andrew Curtis Coming off a devastating loss at home in week 2 to Rice, nobody knew what to expect from Kansas going into a matchup with 16th ranked TCU, and certainly didn’t anticipate a close game going into the 4th quarter. The Jayhawk defense came out fast and furious, swarming to the football, getting stops when they needed to and displaying a bend-but-don’t-break mentality. KU forced a turnover on the first two possessions, one on TCU’s bad snap to quarterback Casey Pachall, which rolled practically halfway across the field and was recovered by Josh Williams, and the other on a forced fumble by Bradley McDougald, who had 12 tackles, a sack and two forced…
