Iowa normally has legit kickers. They always have kickers who are money from within 40 yards. All day.

It says “you guys have played like trash today” and he wouldn’t be wrong. X had his chance, refuses to just cut up field.
That worry is probably off the table for this year for the big names after a disappointing year last year and what could be a really bad year this year.
This. It isn’t even 4th and 1. The fact that a QB sneak isn’t even in our offense is a fire able offense.
I think the year we had Joel Lanning is like the only year in recent history where we had an automatic first down package in short yardage situations.
I don't know why we don't have something like that every year.
Didn't we do a sneak once and got it? (though also got a penalty making it irrelevant)
This! The WORST defense in the conference and one of the worst in the nation...and we got ONE touchdown.
If you’re the Jayhawks you do. Don’t worry, their balloon is going to burst sooner rather than later. We had 9 more first downs, 100+ more total yards, played like azz and STILL almost won the game
You are correct they do.
I really think CMC put that kicker in a tough spot. Sure......it's what he was recruited for. But him doinking it twice had to be messing with his head. I don't think one person here would have questioned going for it.
I've seen pro coaches after their kicker has struggled in a game go for it in situations they normally wouldn't.
I was thinking something similar to this. How borderline embarrassing is it that Leipold is getting KU turned around in under 2 years, a program that was a complete and total trainwreck, dumpster fire et. all, and Campbell has yet to truly have a breakout season in 6+seasons? Kansas is catching and surpassing us.

All you people complaining about the short passing routes … hell, we aired it out deep one time, and what did that get us? Not even a TD! Only got the ball inside the 5! Can’t win games that way, gotta force it to the short route across the middle, yep, that’s the ticket.
Yeah, considering when we do it with our backfield in the end zone they feel it works. Just don't get why we don't on 3rd and 4th and inches. They did it twice today and got a yard.
The fact that you can’t get under center is an enormous problem. Even if you weren’t going to go for it, you have to get under center if you’re trying to make them jump. The threat is 10 times more real if you’ve got a 250 pound quarterback giving a hard count and he’s right in your face. As a D lineman, you feel like you need to have your timing exact. 5 yards back…eh…got time.
