Nice to see we jayhawk fans aren't the only ones following our opponents progress. I told some NU fans before the game I wasn't convinced they had a better defense than USF. Their heads nearly exploded, and one of them listed -literally- 9 players (including backups) that would be drafted from their defense and scoffed at the idea you could possibly compare. Well, after seeing KU play both defenses in back to back weeks, there is still little doubt in my mind you guys have a better defense.

A long history isn't necessarily a good thing. KU has been playing football for over 100 years but our "history" really works against us. As a lot of posts in here indicate, our history of mediocrity makes it hard for people to recognize when we've made good strides, as we have the last 4 years. The perception of KU will be extremely difficult to change, and we'll have to be a bowl team for several years in a row for people to start to recognize we are an improved program. Even then you'll probably still get the "you should never lose to Kansas" types that still have history clouding their perception of our program.
