That's not fog, it is the players' breath. In the coldest game this season for the Jayhawks, both the offense and defense failed to perform, and Kansas lost 34-0 to the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames, Iowa.
Senior running back James Sims drags an Iowa State defender with him on one of his 21 carries. Kansas had 187 rush yards.

OFFENSE: F-
Is that a possible grade? Because the Jayhawks deserved it. Against the seventh worst rushing team in all of college football, Kansas was blanked -- big fat zero. Kansas gained only 187 rushing yards against the same Iowa State team that gave up more than 400 yards on the ground to Oklahoma just a week before. Not to mention there was a resurgence of quarterback changes. Michael Cummings even played in the game. Iowa State had given up over 20 points to every opponent it had played this season before Kansas. Kansas was and should be embarrassed after this performance.
This is up there with Kansas' worst defensive performance of the year. Kansas allowed 34 points, the second most Iowa State has scored in a game this season. It was an especially embarrassing performance for the Jayhawks considering how the defense has developed a reputation as somewhat of a strength for Kansas. Kansas gave up 300 yards passing to a backup quarterback that went 15 for 20. Yikes.
DEFENSE: F-
It is almost baffling how Kansas gets blanked against the worst team in the Big 12. There was a clear lack of preparation on the Kansas side of the field and it led to quite an ugly result. That lack of preparation now leaves Kansas right where it was before its win over West Virginia: in the dumps.

From the way the rest of the Jayhawks' units were playing, it really didn't matter how well this unit performed. Not any spectacular kick returning, but they kept Iowa State to -1 yards gained on punt returns. But in all actuality, special teams can't upend a performance like this from the rest of the Kansas team.
Man, this one is tough. Not a whole lot of positives to extract from this game. Maybe, perhaps that the Kansas' receivers are doing a better job of getting open in space. Andrew Turzilli has shown some ability to separate from defenders, but Cozart had Turzilli twice in the end zone for potential scores, but failed to connect, leaving Kansas with zero points.
GLASS HALF FULL
Cozart, the defense and the drops. Cozart has an arm, that much is obvious. But his accuracy is far from adequate as his multiple overthrows plagued the Kansas offense, which had chances—having five drives in Iowa State's territory in the first half. The defense, which played in what looked like frozen tundra, didn't have that extra step, getting burned on a several passes, including Ben Heeney on a 58-yard touchdown pass.
