Kansas finds itself on the opposite end of a familiar story line heading into Saturday’s 11 a.m. home game against Rutgers.
This week, it’s KU with some positive momentum — and its opponent without. The Jayhawks are coming off a 31-7 road victory over Central Michigan, while Rutgers was beaten badly by No. 4 Ohio State, 52-3.
It was all different a week ago. Back then, KU — after losing to FCS opponent Nicholls State at home — was being widely questioned, while its upcoming foe Central Michigan had reason for optimism after a competitive road loss to Kentucky.
