The Jayhawks prevailed in overtime on a two-point conversion, and the Jayhawk faithful in attendance gleefully chanted “S-E-C! S-E-C!” while the beleaguered and beaten Longhorns slouched off the field. To better see where Kansas football is headed, here’s a look at the 2021 Kansas Jayhawks season. What does seem likely, however, is that Kansas will continue to improve next season. While it may be possible for Kansas to get to the postseason without beating its in-state rival, they are going to have to be good enough to be competitive in the Sunflower Showdown to be good enough to get to six wins.Ĭan they do that next season? It is, of course, way too early to start making predictions about 2022, but from here, it does not seem likely. OSU, and then starting off next year at tOSU, not an easy way for Freeman to start off his tenure.For Kansas to even be competitive with K-State, for example, the Jayhawks need massive improvements along the offensive and defensive lines. A win in a NY6 bowl (or a CFP game as well) will be something BK never did in his 12 years, so that would be a great start for Coach Freeman and a great team farewell to the man who chose to “follow the money” like most do- but not exactly the best timing. Looking forward to NDs schemes without BK, especially with the extra 15 practices that BK never took advantage of with his predictability and his “they just didn’t execute” excuses after every big loss. If QB Bohanon, a mobile QB who presents more of a challenge to any D’ and their RB Warren are back, NDs D’ will be tested but I believe they’ll be up for it. Brewer, their starting QB, earlier this year). Baylor with their 3rd string QB (they also lost C. will be NDs second toughest opponent and we all know how NDs toughest opponent did against them. What concerns me still is an OL that doesn’t run block that well (Kyren got by far most of his amazing 1000+ yards after contact), and Ok. has a very good D’ and Gundy has the athletes to pressure (and will) NDs very good but not very mobile QB. They struggled against Texas in mid-October, but like Notre Dame, they finished the season strong. Aside from their loss to Baylor, the Cowboys also lost to Iowa State and the fighting Matt Campbells earlier this year. Oklahoma State has a strong defense but did not look particularly strong yesterday against Baylor – specifically on the offensive side of the ball. In terms of possible matchups for the Irish in an NY6 game, this is favorable.

The Cowboys has a chance to win with a 4th and goal from the one-yard line in the final 30 seconds but came up inches short of converting and winning the Big12 Championship. Oklahoma State entered Championship weekend ranked 5th, but fell to Baylor who started a backup quarterback. A second-half surge, however, propelled the Irish back in the NY6 and within inches of a playoff berth.

Notre Dame seemingly had no offensive line and no answer at quarterback. The two face off on New Year’s Day with a 1:00 PM ET kickoff as opposed to a Thursday night showdown in the Peach Bowl – the other possible bowl matchup the Irish could have landed in.įor the Irish, a Fiesta Bowl berth seemed unlikely following the loss to Cincinnati given the struggles at the time. Marcus Freeman will get his head coaching debut in a New Year’s 6 Bowl game with an opportunity to do what Brian Kelly never did in 12 years – win a BY6 bowl game. Notre Dame finished the regular season ranked 5th, just outside the playoffs while Oklahoma State finished 9th after coming up inches short in the Big12 Championship. The Irish return to the Fiesta Bowl for the first time in six years to face the Cowboys for the first time in program history. Their consolation prize is not too bad, however, with a New Year’s Day matchup in the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma State (10-2).

Notre Dame was eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday when the Chaos Saturday we all were hoping for never materialized.
