As much as I would have liked to see the Jayhawks get it done against the Tigers on Saturday night, I have to give props to Missouri (you’ll never hear me do this about basketball)…they are a talented team and they certainly did what they needed to do to win.
Still, you can’t help but wonder what the Jayhawks will be like next year with all that youth back. Another year in the system will give Todd Reesing the confidence to not look at the sidelines 5 times before snapping the ball. It just looked like Missouri was more mature and confident going into the game and Chase Daniel really impressed me as a quarterback.
I was glad that KU fought back in the fourth quarter. It’s too bad those missed field goals came back to bite them.
I actually will be looking forward to this game next year (as I’m sure many fans will as well) and I hope this rivalry continues to be relevant long into the future.
Shane,
I like your comments. However, I can’t help but state that this is Mangino’s fault. With the lack of talent that they’ve played all year, you would be hard pressed to tell me that Reesing has been doing that all year (looking to the sidelines for cues). I thought that for an undefeated team, they’ve gotten to that point with a fraud of a quarterback.
They say that K-State was the only other team to bring any pressure towards Reesing.
It was a great game. The Chiefs did their part to stink the joint back up today. I’m glad I saw one good game this weekend.
Holla…
Ryan, I would agree with you for the most part. I will say that I am looking forward to seeing KU next year. I think they are young and they may only get better.
I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say that Reesing is a fraud like Ryan but Stowell and I lost a lot of respect when he wouldn’t take off the FREAKING gloves. Even after bouncing a 5 yard out, underthrowing the potential TD(ended up picked) and the other awful int. Good game, hard to believe that KU could have been tied if not for 2 missed FGs.
