Defense improves despite offense troubles

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Defense not frustrated by offense’s struggles

With Kansas’ recent offensive struggles, the improved performance of the team’s defense has happened rather quietly.

Despite the offense’s lack of production in Kansas’ last two games, members of the defense said there was no frustration with the other side of the ball.

“There’s been so many times where they’ve had us out there and we didn’t come through for them,” senior safety Darrell Stuckey said. “It’s one of those things we have to go out there and just play the game.”
