Kansas junior linebacker Joe Dineen Jr. and junior quarterback Peyton Bender talk about what went wrong in a 45-27 loss to Central Michigan.
Facing CMU quarterback Shane Morris (467 yards and five touchdowns), Dineen said KU’s defense had breakdowns with “everything.”
“Credit to those guys,” Dineen said. “They came out and the quarterback slang that thing. Not much we could do about it.”
As for KU’s offense, Bender was pleased that the Jayhawks put together a couple of long drives, though he wished more of them would’ve ended with touchdowns.
“We knew coming out at halftime we were going to have to have a big third quarter to get back in the game,” Bender said. “We came out hot, two quick scoring drives. We got back in it. We just couldn’t sustain that.”
