if anything this should show you even more reason to fire him. We have a solid team and yet only have won 3 games?

If you had told me before this game we would score 40 pts, I would of said, OK, we have a 10% chance of winning.

To lose by 15 pts, it was a solid, I say a very solid effort by the Jayhawks.

Isn’t he playing baseball?

I don't think he has made up his mind, just being a Jr, I would wait it out.

That was an impressive effort by KU tonight. Keep that LA pipeline rolling.

An average coach wins 6 games with this team. A good coach might get 7 wins. Plenty of talent.

and Les Miles is in Kansas

Confirmed.

Yes!

Time for some 2019 tickets.

Good hire for the Jayhawks, they will never be as good as UCF, but good hire nonetheless.

Agreed.

The organization cried for support this year and next year they will damn-well be getting it.

Jeff Long deserves major props for nailing this while Manhattan is still up in the air with their coach situation for 2019. As C3HIEF3S also pointed out, Long also nailed the timing, as he beat Colorado before they could get fully organized.

We got this! Welcome Coach Miles. :)

**** yeah

It feels right that’s KU’s first touchdown in the Miles era came from the defensive side of the ball.

One day we wont suck, r-right guys?

Pooka would already be over 100 yds rushing in this game if he were playing.

Wow. Macvittie must be pretty bad if he couldn't beat out this JAG.

I know it's the first game of the Miles era, but UGH!....these ****ing screens on 3rd down.

What was the line on this game? Got really lucky that last throw wasn't ruled a TD by Ind State.

Just an awful gameplan from Miles today. Offense is extremely conservative, although some of that is because Stanley sucks. But only rushing 2 on fourth and 8? Then a key third and 8 and we only rush 4 again and give him all day to throw by rolling out. I'm not sure we have blitzed in the second half. Bob Sutton would be proud.

Touch down Charlot from Stan man

Yes!! 1-0 Bitches!! PBJPBJPBJPBJPBJ

Is Zenger now really an assistant coach at Lawrence Free State high school?

Wasn't being too conservative with play calling at LSU his downfall?

Yes.

We should have won this game by 20+.

ISU is a solid team in their division. They did return all five OL that helped lead a rushing attack that averaged almost 250 a game last year. KU should have won, which they did, and by more, but I'm not so sure that it should've been by three or more TD's. A Miles coached team should never lose this game. Next year or the year after KU should make some noise on the field. This year they should be able to get back to some respectability

It's going to take a little time. This was their preseason game with the NCAA not having one. And don't forget just how conservative Miles can be. Maybe too conservative

The conservative bit is my problem. The offense and defense went into prevent mode what felt like the entire second half. Had we continued to bring pressure and attack on both offense and defense, we get that 20+ win.

LES IS MORE!!!!!!

That is true. He was coaching Martyball out there. A game that should've been closer to your outcome was almost a loss

If you wanna crown em crown em but the Boston College Eagles are who we thought they were!!!����

And Les Miles & Co blew them out.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer city.

Who needs Roy when we can play with our Self?

Wow. What a major upset.

****ing awesome. Nice job men.

I haven't seen a KU Offense look that good in quite some time. Herbert was in beast mode, and the O-Line was actually respectable.

Quit living in the 90s, bugeater

Nice job! Unexpected to say the least. :clap:

They dominated that second half. Keep it rolling next week against WVU.

Actual defensive adjustments were fantastic to see. Especially when the majority of BCs offensive success was on missed assignments and missed tackles in the first half.

Great to see aggressive offense until we truly had the game salted away.

My only complaint in the second half was that we dropped like 4 interceptions. That may bite us in a closer game.

Also looks like they need work on the kickoff coverage. Gave up some yards there.

I think Barack Obama was still a senator that last time KU football was not depressing to watch

That was a fun game to watch. I did not expect that. I was just hoping they would be somewhat competitive.

Oh Snap! I had forgotten that we played last night. This damn therapy and just moving again again is keeping my ass worn out all the time. I went to bed early and woke up to a pleasant surprise.


Rock Chalk Fb team! :KU: :clap:

YAS!!!!!!!!!!

I'll give credit where due. Big win for KU's program. Nice upset. Good job.
Hopefully Mizzou will take care of bidness tonight. Still pissed about their loss to a Mountain West team. Damnit!!

Has that coach been fired yet?

Monday, probably

Jayhawks are giving Texas a good fight on the road.

Oh man what a 4th down catch. KU driving for the tie.

This is Les Miles year one and being competitive across the board. Unreal

Tie game if they make the XP

Not sure why Kansas was backing off so far on that last passing play. There’s only a few seconds left and Texas has no timeouts.

You need to be up in the WRs faces and not give them an easy completion to the sideline.

That was literally all Texas could do on that play. Anything else and the game is probably over. Dumb defense there.

Yep they left too much time. Texas wins on a pussy field goal.

Coaches get scared to lose the game. And play not to lose. Commom problem even though sheer stupidity

Seriously what the **** was that? There’s no chance you get beat deep there. No way is Texas throwing long.

Get up and protect the boundary. Maybe they complete the pass, but you keep them in bounds? Game over if that happens.

Great effort by the team, but that is awful awareness.

That was more poor awareness than it was playing not to lose. There was no chance of getting beat deep. No way does Texas have the balls to throw it down the field there.

Really stupid.

Don't disagree in general but no blitzes on the entire drive. Prevent defense the whole way. If you are a huge underdog you might as well sell out and take risks just like we did on the two point conversion.

Agreed. I would’ve taken some chances for sure, but I get why they didn’t.

That last pass made zero sense there. There’s no risk at all in being aggressive. Texas is even considering looking down field on that one. Our defense really needs to recognize the time remaining and timeout situation.

Literally any completion in bounds short of the first down ends the game. Protect the boundary and don’t give them an easy one.

Elingher probably would’ve thrown it away if it was contested, but you never know. Hell, you might even get a pick.

Miles is gonna turn KU around.

Great leader.

Crazy game.

Aside from the BC game this was a fun one to watch.

So close and very impressed with Miles, guy is a bigtime Winner.

David Beaty must have been one terrible football coach for this KU team to be playing like this with Miles. They could easily have an above .500 record right now. Also, how was Carter Stanley not playing more the past few years under that staff?

Stanley looks far better this year than before.

And yes, of course Beaty was a terrible coach. He had no idea what he was doing.

If a few bounces go the other way, KU could be sitting at 5-2. They have looked like a typical post-Mangino team a few times (TCU, Coastal Carolina), but that'll happen now and then when you're just not that talented.

The BC and Texas games are way better than anything we've seen since Mangino.

Can't wait to see who Les Miles can recruit! I don't think it's too crazy to think a national champion could start attracting some top talent.....

I’ll go ahead and eat crow on Les Miles.

I figured he’d try to run his LSU offense without his LSU defense. He seems to have adapted well and his guys are playing.

They’re not good or anything but it is good to only be bad than Worst team in the history of the sport bad.

So yeah. Crow. I’m eating it.

That being said, if he’d run this offense at LSU he’d have 15 championships and still be there.

This is Brent Dearmon’s offense, for the most part.

KU football #1 baybee!!!

Coastal, WVU, and Texas all could (should) have been wins. Regardless of their final record, this team wasn’t far from Bowl eligibility as crazy as that may seem.

I would guess they win at least one more game this year.

Hell. Yes. What a birthday present. Thank you, KU football!!

I get that. But if this offense was on those ridiculously talented teams they’d be unstoppable.
