Haven’t seen it discussed much, but how about Kardell’s catch on the third down late in the fourth quarter. Gave us the first down and ultimately led to the TD to give us 49.

Extremely important play and probably don’t win without it.

Glad to see TEs being used a lot yesterday (Fairchild with a TD early on). I wonder if JD looks to them more or if it was more specific to the UT gameplan.

🏈 Devin Neal Named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week​

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas freshman Devin Neal has been named the Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the Conference Office announced on Monday, becoming the first Kansas freshman to ever win the award.

Neal propelled the Jayhawks to a dramatic 57-56 win over the Texas Longhorns on Saturday, rushing 24 times for 143 yards and three touchdowns. Neal also scored through the air on a 19-yard pass from Jalon Daniels. Neal finished with two receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown.

Neal’s impressive showing makes him the first player in college football this season to have 140+ rushing yards, three-plus rushing touchdowns, 25+ receiving yards and at least one receiving touchdown in the same game. He is the first player since Tulane’s Cameron Carroll (Sept. 26, 2020) and first true freshman since Tulane’s Matt Forte in 2004 to accomplish such a feat.

Neal, of Lawrence, Kansas, is also the first Jayhawk to have three rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown in the same game since at least 2000.

While becoming the first Kansas true freshman to win the award, Neal is just the 10th Jayhawk to ever be named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the week and the first since Carter Stanley won the award in 2019 for his 415 yards passing and three touchdowns against Texas Tech.

Through 10 games this season, Neal leads the Jayhawks in rushing with 648 yards and seven touchdowns on 144 attempts. Neal has recorded three games of over 100 yards, coming against Duke (107), Oklahoma (100) and Texas (143).

Laugher

Against Baylor and Coastal Carolina, threw one pass against Baylor? He was healthy enough to go in for mop up duty was #3 on the depth chart did they not think he could beat out Bean/Kendrick

11-17 on third down conversions.

Only four penalties.

No turnovers.

When you keep their defense on the field, don't give them free yards and don't give them the ball for nothing, your chances of winning go up. Especially the third down conversion number--that has been a consistent problem for KU teams in the past and again this year.

If this doesn't make you emotional, nothing will...

As an average football fan I don’t have the insight to break down plays like someone who has studied film. I am wondering if the 2 point conversion was drawn up to go to Casey or if he was a 2nd or 3rd option? @ramblood @halvie_2 Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

I keep seeing a thread called ' Volleyball Arena' and forget it morphed into Chili and Cinnamon Rolls. Therefore, this needs to be on its own merits.

Therefore, please provide all your recipes, even canned options. The Hy Power Tamales @DocTwo were actually pretty good! Chili is basically good until we start talking Corned Beef & Gabbage with Cornbread with Honey Butter for St. Patrick's Day. Possible topics may also include Christmas Dinner and New Year's Eve and Day food types!

Line just posted.

Said this in the game thread but think it deserves it’s own thread. Fuchs should be a show in for the Broyles Award.

Our OL transformation from last year to this year has been remarkable.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. Pretty hilarious.

Against UT we had 5 punts for a net of 24 yds per punt! It has been a major weakness for the last 2 seasons. As we try to get to be a competitive team, we can't average 24yds a punt. At that point you might as well go for it on every 4th down.

Sark’s programs down bad right now

while we are all happy about the offense and what will happen at QB the defense was like swiss cheese. If we are looking at portal a lot better come on defense will miss Kyron.

UT fans are nuts. The kid threw for 358 6 TDs and ran for 1 TD. Not to mention with a sprained throwing hand thumb. And entire tread on him sucking lol. He did get his defenders on there. I know about 11 other Big 12 Teams who would love him.

Don’t know if this has been posted yet…enjoy.

Tough loss for OSU last night. Bryce w/12 in the loss. He had a chance to hit the game winner but missed the shot.

Posted by @HTownJayhawk in the Casey thread. Cool celebration.

But, pause the video at the 18 second mark. Try to look at what Daniels was seeing. Two guys in his face, another mid level defender to throw over, and not a huge window. That's a throw the good QBs make. The throw we havent seen in a while.

This is my 5,000th post here on the Slant, of which 4,994 have been here on the football board. My favorite post I think by far was my prediction in March of 2020 that Covid would be out of the news cycle in 2 weeks. Nailed it! But anyway, it's been a lot of fun hanging out with you folks and sharing our love and hatred of KU football.

Some of my favorite moments over the years:

The EJ Biggers recruiting drama (this was my introduction to the stupidity that is recruiting)
Maize's drunken meltdown
Hakwdoc's recruiting prediction threads
The whole dauncle/Twister mess
Bryson's airport Periscope adventure
Coaching search after coaching search
I'm sure there are more I'm missing

Thanks to JK for putting up with all of our nonsense, and here's hoping for 5,000 more posts of questionable worth and quality.
