David Beaty is now infamously 3-33 in his tenure at KU. So how can he possibly have five wins? Well - we’ll have to look elsewhere besides the football field, because I’m not counting moral victories today.
Let’s see what we can find.
5. Southeast Missouri State
The least impressive win of David Beaty’s three, SEMO came into the 2017 with a similar statistical profile as 2016 Rhode Island, and struggled to put away a bad Redhawks squad. Peyton Bender had a statistically decent debut, but could have had two more INTs - and, in fairness, two more TDs.
