Before the game, Bret Bielema alerted Big 12 officials that Kansas would line up a big guy wide to run a pick play. Kansas did it and scored, but the refs called offensive pass interference—likely thanks to Coach B’s heads-up pregame warning.

One concern is the run defense. The Jayhawks had 0.25 EPA per Rush Attempt. 85th %tile. The Jayhawks really had horrible offensive play calling. Devin Neal had 14 carries 101 yards. Only 14 carries. He was dominating. KU couldn’t pass but kept passing 18/31 137 yds 2TD

People don’t realize how smart Bret really is. His preparation has always been phenomenal even when he was a young defenseman coordinator.

Illinois pulling off a big upset and nearly getting ranked... but just missing at #26 because Northern Illinois pulled off a bigger upset is fantastic in-state rivalry fuel.

I like less navy in general. I don’t like the contrast between navy and orange and don’t think they particularly go well together. Vs white and orange pops and looks better. That’s why I like these helmets and this full orange home jersey or orange top, white pants the best.
