Rock Chalk Talk: Reality Sets In For Kansas

After last weeks big win against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets there was some optimism and hope that Kansas might be able to head down to Hattiesburg and get a win against the Eagles. Unfortunately for Jayhawks fans, the reality that they were afraid of set in with a 31-16 loss to Southern Miss Friday night.

Southern Miss. has the athletes to make plays and they made more of them while Kansas didn’t make many and couldn’t get into any kind of consistent groove. It’s a loss that some fans expected even before the NDSU loss so it’s not a back breaker, but it’s pretty clear that Kansas will continue to struggle when facing an up tempo spread with a higher caliber athlete. The bad news is that most of the teams in the Big 12 will be exactly that.
