Kansas is missing a few of its players who made the season solid, but again, it’s nothing compared to what the Hogs lost. The biggest killers missing are in the defensive back seven. Star linebacker Drew Sanders and Bumper Pool were the team’s top two tacklers, and the secondary is undergoing a few major changes. Kansas should be able to take advantage of all the new guys. The Jayhawks led the Big 12 in third down conversions – Arkansas, even with all its parts and despite being amazing at getting to the quarterback, was awful defensively on third downs. They can hit the deep shots, and QB Jalon Daniels and company will keep the offensive pressure on. Daniels and the ground game should get moving, too. The Hogs were 1-4 when giving up 190 rushing yards or more, the Jayhawks were 5-1 when getting that many or more....

Kansas football coach Lance Leipold has agreed to a contract extension that is expected to keep him in Lawrence for the long haul, a source with knowledge of the conversations between KU and Leipold told the Journal-World on Tuesday night. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report Tuesday’s contract news, noting that KU and Leipold have agreed to terms on a new contract that includes an extension through the 2029 season. It also almost certainly comes with a significant raise that sources have said could as much as double what Leipold’s original six-year deal with Kansas was slated to pay him. Tuesday’s news is the culmination of a season’s worth of negotiations and contract talk that started as early as Week 3 or 4 while Leipold’s second Kansas team raced out to a 5-0 start and back into the national polls. With momentum already on their side, the KU administration announced a one-year extension for Leipold before the season opener in September. That added a year to his initial six-year deal, which he signed in April 2021 that included an escalating annual salary that would pay him $16.5 million total, or an average of $2.75 million per year. Leipold, who has led the long-suffering program to bowl eligibility in just his second season in charge of the program, has said throughout the season that his intention is to be at KU for a long time. Now, he has agreed to a new deal that will make that a certainty. In doing so, it puts an end to nearly constant chatter about Leipold as a hot candidate at both Nebraska and Wisconsin, schools he has significant ties to from the past.  s/o - https://m.kusports.com/news/2022/nov/22/espn-reporting-ku-extends-contract-football-coach-/
