Kansas football enters the season with new starters and schedule expectations
Summary

Kansas begins the college football season facing questions regarding its offensive personnel and recent performance. After two consecutive 5-7 seasons, the team enters the year without any preseason all-conference first-team selections and a new starting quarterback in Isaiah Marshall. The squad features returning players such as Dylan Edwards and Yasin Willis in the backfield. The schedule includes a non-conference opener against Long Island, followed by a home game against Missouri-Columbia and a trip to London to face Arizona State at Wembley Stadium. The program is attempting to improve upon its 12th-place preseason ranking in the Big 12. Coaches intend to rely on an experienced offensive line and a defense reported to possess improved team speed as they attempt to secure bowl eligibility.
