David Beaty wanted to make a point.
The Kansas coach gathered all his players two weeks ago at the end of practice, pointing out the Jayhawks’ defensive line had no sacks through the team’s first two games.
“It kind of shocked us, like, ‘Dang, he just called us out,’” KU defensive end Dorance Armstrong said. “We knew Saturday when we came out there, we had to do that.”
The motivational ploy certainly seemed to work.
The Jayhawks had five sacks in its next game against Memphis — including four from D-linemen — and will look to keep up the pressure Thursday night as they travel to face pass-happy Texas Tech.
