Opinion: Kansas loss shows football’s offensive stagnation

This is an opinionated column.

Sept. 12, 2009.

That date was the last time Kansas football won a game on the road. That is before they travelled to Kelly/Shorts Stadium Sept. 8 2018, almost nine years later.

Conservative play-calling and a stagnate offense provided only one first down in the first half for Central Michigan football. Tony Poljan, the 6-foot-7, 235-pound sophomore quarterback, finished the game with 177 yards on 18-for-32 completions, four interceptions and one touchdown.

CMU’s loss to Kansas is more than just the second loss of the season. It’s a preview of what this year’s offense may have to offer.
