The Kansas football team wraps up the non-conference portion of its schedule on Saturday against Middle Tennessee. The Jayhawks are a disappointing 1-2 so far, with a win against Long Island and losses against Missouri and Arizona State.
KU had opportunities to win both of the games they lost, but turnovers and other miscues prevented them from having a better record. Kansas must do a better job protecting the ball and executing better in general if they hope to finish with at least six wins.
Defensively, the Jayhawks have performed admirably. Opponents have scored eight touchdowns against KU this season, but turnovers and special team miscues led directly to six of them. Many of them forced the defense to work on a very short field. The defense has performed well considering the position it's been placed in time and time again.
If KU has any hope of going to a bowl game this season, this game against Middle Tennessee is a must-win, even if it is just the fourth game of the season.
