A day that ended in frustration for everyone on the Kansas football roster began with a scene that the Jayhawks who played their final college game can look back upon more fondly.
Senior Days are not supposed to look like this. In the final college football game for nearly two dozen Jayhawks on Saturday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, the optimism and competitiveness that could be spotted during the highest points of head coach Les Miles’ first year on the job were nowhere to be found.
You are what your record says you are. For Kansas, a 3-9 clip in Year 1 of the Les Miles era should be considered a step in the right direction. After all, it matches the best win total of any season by the Jayhawks this decade.
It was not the ending to the 2019 season that Kansas had hoped for. From start to finish, KU was overwhelmed in every aspect of its 61-6 loss to No. 11 Baylor Saturday afternoon at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
With three players setting career-highs in scoring and two in rebounding, Kansas rolled past FAU for a 90-60 win to clinch first place in the FAU Thanksgiving Tournament in FAU Arena on Saturday.

Officially, No. 4 Kansas’ 75-63 victory over East Tennessee State on Tuesday was the Jayhawks’ first game in the 2019 Maui Invitational. But even with a trip to paradise looming, the Jayhawks were not focused on anything other than protecting their home court on Tuesday night.
