The Kansas quarterback evaluation started in the winter. Or, at least, it could have.
Peyton Bender, Miles Kendrick and Carter Stanley — the three main candidates vying for the job — were all on KU’s campus. It hypothetically gave KU’s coaches plenty of time to evaluate and select the best of the bunch.
Knowing this fact only makes the circumstances of KU’s 48-28 home loss to Oklahoma State all the more confusing.
After starting the first three games, Bender did not take a snap Saturday. And after only getting garbage-time snaps as the No. 3 QB this season, Stanley was in on every offensive play against OSU.
