Did you know KU ranked #1 in the nation in opponent punt returns.
They only allowed 2 returns on the season for a total negative 6 yards.
KU ranked 20th nationally in TFL’s allowed at about 4.46 per game. 3rd best in the Big 12.
KU ranked second in the B12 in passing defense and bring back experience in droves.
Kansas ranked 91st in penalties last season and won 9 games with only a +1 in turnover margin (the lowest in Leipold’s tenure at KU as he was +3 the prior two seasons). If anything, I’d argue we were even better than the record would indicate and that makes me bullish for the season.
