| Can KU football lay another streak to rest? |
| Thu, 20 Sep 2018 12:21:13 -0500 |
| Especially for the players who have suffered through the program’s struggles the longest, burying KU’s 46-game road losing streak in Mount Pleasant, Mich., and delivering consecutive victories for the first time since 2011 felt meaningful. Now there is another streak for the Jayhawks to vanquish. And redshirt senior linebacker Joe Dineen didn’t need to hear the entirety of a question earlier this week to identify it. By Benton Smith |
| Defensive takeaways fueling KU football's confidence |

| “Guys are playing more confident and more relaxed and listening to (defensive coordinator Clint Bowen), and obviously applying it,” Daniel Wise said. “And you see what happens when you do that.” The most eye-popping upshot, through three nonconference games at least, has been the defense’s ability to turn opponent mistakes into punishing takeaways.

| Tue, 18 Sep 2018 16:39:47 -0500 |

However, David Beaty also said Bender might man the spot for “one” play or “50” plays. By Benton Smith |
