KU football grades: Lance Leipold's Jayhawks were aggressive ... and it paid off
Showing confidence in the Isaiah Marshall-led Kansas offense, KU football coach Lance Leipold went for it on fourth down eight times in Saturday’s 25-24 victory over Baylor at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Desperately needing a win to avoid falling to 0-4 in Big 12 conference play, the Jayhawks converted five of those attempts. The aggressive approach paid off as Kansas improved to 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the Big 12 conference. Kansas converted just 5 of 19 third-down tries. Baylor (4-3, 2-2) went 5-of-15 on third down and 1-of-3 on fourth. The Bears ran 66 plays to the Jayhawks’ 86. Asked whether the fourth-down decisions were circumstantial or part of the game plan, Leipold said, “Probably both.” “There’s some of those that were circumstantial. There’s some that, you know, we hadn’t punted the ball as well as we liked and flipped the field position. But the majority of those … there were a couple that maybe we were backed up that were fourth-and-1 or (fourth-and)-2, but the other ones were kind of in that midfield range. “(We had) confidence in our defense that if it didn’t work out, but staying aggressive, especially when you have a team like Baylor
