So was that great defense or bad offense? In a game that was almost as boring as Georgia-Clemson (which is surely being lauded as a great defensive battle), Kansas beat South Dakota 17-14 Friday night in Lawrence.
And the score indicates the struggle was real was for both offenses. Combined, KU and USD put up 508 yards of total offense.
I’m gonna let that sink in for a moment.
At the beginning of the second quarter, KU had more penalty yards (20) than total offense (18). The first half saw KU punt six times, while South Dakota had four punts of their own plus a turnover on downs.
