Kansas football has left a let to be desired during the opening month of the season. The
month of the season. The season began with a narrow victory against Southeast Missouri State followed by a Week 2 trip to Durham, where the Duke Blue Devils made things pretty ugly for Kansas fans in a 41-3 Jayhawk loss. In Week 3, Kansas failed to impress but managed to come away with a 14-point victory against Central Michigan — a threatening Mid-American Conference team.
Then came last week, the beginning of conference play and a major turning point in the season. The Jayhawks looked good early on against Texas but were eventually shut out 23-0. Consequently, Charlie Weis was fired as head coach Sunday morning.
Eight games remain in the Jayhawks season, and they will have to win half those games to become bowl eligible. Five of Kansas' eight remaining games will be played against opponents that are currently ranked, and the team's other three opponents are certainly
not soft.
New interim coach Clint Bowen brings passion, energy and a defensive mindset to the Kansas sideline that can hopefully lead the Jayhawks to a few more wins. The team currently sits at 2-2, so let's take a look ahead and see if we can find any more wins in the football team's menacing schedule.
It's going to take a small miracle if Bowen wants to return to Lawrence victorious after his first game this weekend when the Jayhawks head to Morgantown to take on West Virginia. The Mountaineers, like the Jayhawks, are also 2-2. However, West Virginia's two losses came from the hands of
two top-five teams in Alabama and Oklahoma. Their losses were also close games; they lost by an average of 11 points.
points. Last season, Kansas shocked the Mountaineers in a game that resulted in swimming goal posts. But this West Virginia team is stronger and ready to play.
The following week the team returns home for a matchup against Oklahoma State, a team that is currently ranked No.21 in the nation. The Cowboys average 40 points per contest and feature a passing offense that averages nearly 300 yards per game. This game may stay close for a quarter, but things could easily get out of hand.
The next matchup comes on the road against Texas Tech and provides one of the best opportunities for success this season. The Jayhawks can suppress the Red Raiders' passing game that averages 344 yards per game, Kansas could get its first Big 12 road victory since 2009.
to take on the Baylor Bears and visit the new McLane Stadium. The Bears are currently ranked No.7 in the nation, so admiring the new architecture may be the best part of the trip to Waco, Texas.
Kansas will then head back to Texas
The matchup Nov. 8 against Iowa State could be the best chance the Jayhawks get to win the rest of the season. Bowen will face an interesting challenge as head of the defense against former Kansas coach Mark Mangino, Iowa State's offensive coordinator.
The next three weeks include a home game against TCU followed by two road games against No.4 Oklahoma and No.23 Kansas State.
Jayhawk football will most likely win only one or two games the rest of the season. The silver lining is there are plenty of opportunities for miraculous upsets, and the team has a new coach who provides a small bit of hope for the near future.
