LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Turner Gill went through his entire first season at Kansas without winning two consecutive games. After all, the Jayhawks only won three times all year.
It's safe to assume they're feeling pretty good about the 2-0 record they will be taking to Georgia Tech on Saturday. They got a bunch of talented freshmen up to speed with an easy win over McNeese State, and then proved Saturday night they could win a 45-42 shootout against Northern Illinois.
Even though some glaring holes remain, primarily on defense, one thing is already clear: Kansas has made plenty of long strides since opening last season with a loss to North Dakota State.
