Another chance to become bowl eligible.

Gusty winds already causing problems on that 3-and-out punt.

@nwhawkfan And here we go , - - this Defense -- wait , what ? - -did I say Defense ?

Defense ? What Defense ? Ole !

Geesh this defense is really regressed ---Therre is NO EXCUSE to be giving up 11 -- -13 -14 yards per play

Can't expect us to keep coming from behind. May be too much of a task for Bean & company.

14-0 right where we want em

We’re back to being a team that can’t get out of their own way. Last two weeks we have not been sharp.

Lucky to get three points out of that drive.

Three mistakes already costing us. Fumble, snafu on the snap, and a penalty. Not an auspicious start.

takes them 2 minutes to score TD - - takes us 7 minutes to get a FG

We get the wind in the second quarter.

Whoopie

Just a dam shame when you can't put up more resistence then this when the other team haa the ball - almost comical

Just don’t have the dudes on defense. Baylor just bigger and faster everywhere

Boy we miss Jalen - it shows so bad

JD clearly was the heart and soul of the team.

Just catching up to real time now…
Just watched that appalling defensive effort when we had them backed up to their end zone. Wtf?

No blitz when dude is running around in his end zone and a lame, useless zone that allows them to get a first down? Why?

Don’t get that at all.

Not a catch

Close.

I say no catch

My God, what a trainwreck of a half. And it could've been a lot worse.

Job Number One for the coaching staff: Recruit some damn guys who know how to play defense. A new DC wouldn't hurt either.

Switching to Chelsea-Manchester United for a while. At least that game's competitive.

DC isn't the issue. KU just doesn't have B12 talent across the board yet or the depth behind the B12 talent we do have. Fixing the defense was always going to take a lot longer than the offense because it's much easier to mask deficiencies on offense than defense through schemes. KU is also still one of the youngest teams in the country. They will get better, just not overnight.

Don’t suppose Pulisic got the start for Chelsea?

Very disappointing game. We clearly were a very good team with a very small margin for error. And by that what I mean is we don’t have the depth to absorb injuries. Take Daniels, Hishaw, Bryant, etc out, we are a significantly worse team.

Also, I hope we find a better way to take advantage of Beans elite speed. Maybe WR?

Daniels is the biggest issue and KU desperately needs him back. KU has the depth to not hurt too much from Hishaw's injury and Bryant is a a toss up because he makes aot of big plays, but also gives up a lot of big plays.

Bean's not the runner Daniels is so teams haven't had to account for him as much as they did with Daniels.

Until we can stop them on 4th down, this is going to be demoralizing.

that doesn't take into account Devin - - Morrison Thomas - -we was suppose to have one of the most talent & deep RB in the Conference

I’ll never understand how a QB runs out of bounds for a loss when they can throw it away

When you have a QB that isn't super accurate and despite his speed, doesn't have great running instincts, it means defenses can key on the back without worrying too much about the QB. What made the offense so dangerous with JD6 was his ability to pull the ball and take off forcing defenses to have to account for him as well. It's much easier to stop Neal and the other backs when you know there isn't much chance of Bean keeping it instead.

WELCOME BACK TREVOR WILSON

Can’t have a false start there at the 2. Don’t get cute

Bean!

Wow, I switch away for a bit and KU makes a game out of it !

Oh yeah...no, Pulisic didn't start, he subbed in. Great finish, though. Chelsea got a late PK goal, then Man United got the equalizer in stoppage time.

Let's go Hawks ! Need more stops !

Have I missed Luke Grimm?

@nwhawkfan maybe you should uh uh.........

ya on side line suitted but must have some kind of injury is he hasn't played a snap

Thx

Only 17 more days (I hope) till the end of these effing political TV ads

@Crimsonorblue22 I’m still here! CFB is a wild sport

Ok. Leaning hard on the defense to get another stop here. Bean hitting his stride thanks to amazing work of the o-line

It is possible.

The best invention in the history of mankind: The Mute Button.

@Kcmatt7 especially us

Need a TO

@Crimsonorblue22 or a holding penalty or something. Negative play at least

Crap

Wide side nobody

@Crimsonorblue22 almost better off letting him score there

Time out.

Making it very hard on us.

I’m sure this has been covered but the announcers are idiots.

Doesn't look like much effort trying to shed blocks

Coach should do nothing but recruit - -DEFENSIVE -DEFENSIVE - - -DEFENSIVE - -DEFINSIVE players in the up coming years

The defense is much improved this year. Honestly I think it’s all about depth. Across the board.

Had to run out for a bit and heard a rock chalk behind me. Was none other than Chancellor BGL!

Well, I switched away again. Didn't help this time.

"Sometimes the magic works...sometimes it doesn't."

Roughing?

Crap!

Let's credit Baylor.

Better decision for bean would be to throw it deep and if it’s an interception at least it’s on the other side of the field. Makes no sense to throw a short pass after rolling out and scrambling.

56 yards rushing total --will not win you very many games

Amen

I look forward to the day that we put it on Baylor.

I have never seen a college QB other than Bean who looks so average while also looking elite in the same game.

We're so far behind we had to throw

What's wrong w/Grimm?

How's Hishaw? Did any of them die? Would they tell us? Has Hishaw been on the sideline?

@Crimsonorblue22 injured. I think shoulder

OK , so I maybe WAY off base But - - -Am I totally wrong when I say it's kinda sad when a team like Clemson that's rated # 5 in the Nation and undefeated - You think that a team like Clemson that has been recognized for some time as a Football power- - almost yearly - - I think it's pretty sad that their fans storm the field after beating Syracuse which is ranked 14th.

Seriously -act like you belong that would be like KU beating some lower ranked team in Basketball and the fans rushing the court after beating say TCU for example - Seriously - - I don't think I'm wrong at all. - -Makes them look like they wasn't expecting to win.

Just watching osu, texass, tt isu, their O's are so explosive. I am a doubting Thomas now. 🥺😩😢 not isu.

@jayballer67 they storm after every win. It’s their thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

BTW, belated question, but can anybody explain that failed 2 pt conversion we tried?
I have no clue what was happening there. Bean floated right, threw back left to an offensive lineman?? or tried to.

Where in the hell is our 6th win going to come from: OSt, Texas Tech, Texas or KSt? I thought maybe Texas Tech, but they just destroyed WV today. I guess we are left with an unexpected upset, like Texas last year. OUCH!

@stoptheflop they have played with everyone so far to an extent. One of the games we won’t shoot ourselves in the foot with a bad penalty or turnover and pull it out.

They’re getting one.

Today is a day where we saw what the real progress of this team is. At this point last year, when KU fumbled it back to Baylor down 28-3 right before halftime, that would've spiraled into a 59-10 loss or something in that neighborhood and we didn't see that today.

We saw the coaching staff make adjustments at halftime and the defense played much better in the 2nd half and gave KU a chance to come back and the team has bought into Leipold and staff which is always nice to see. We also saw the offense play much better in the 2nd half as well.

Hopefully we get JD6 back after the bye week because ESPN has KU with a 36% chance to win each of their next two games which is the best chance for KU to get win number 6.

@rockchalkjayhawk wasn't it tipped? We had one before to bostick. He use to be a qb in high school, I think. I wasn't paying attention. But he did catch it last time. For 2.

Yup, tipped, but i just couldn't make heads or tails of that play and who was involved. oh well.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yes, progress in this area is clear

Keep fighting
Do not give up

KU needs to start the game fast. We have seen in time and time again this season that KU gets behind big time in Q1 and Q2.

It is challenging to come back from such large deficits.
