First of all after watching KSU play several times and then against KU, the S&C can be such a factor.

For several years Chris Dawson ran the S&C at Kansas State and he is very good at what he does. He turned down jobs with Leach at Washington State, Doeren at NCSU, and several others in recent years. He was the runner-up at Alabama two years ago. The players can develop in a strength program.

This will be a critical offseason for Matt Gildersleeve. He really hasn't got a chance to get his program in place. He only had the players for two months before fall camp started.

When you watch Kansas State I don't know that they are all that talented. I have said this before they have talent in the right spots. But they play fast. They play fast because they know their system. They play fast because they haven been built up in the strength program. They are just more physically developed than the KU players have been.

One of the biggest challenges Leipold and his staff have in front of them is changing the mindset of playing more physical. I don't blame the staff for where the players are at. But there are far too many missed tackles. There were several plays today where KU had players in position to make plays and they didn't.

Again this comes with building a program. This will take time. This is just one of the hurdles Leipold inherited.

Now, the biggest question and it isn't easy for the staff is doing evaluations and deciding which players you think can make these leaps and bounds for next year. They are going to have to figure out who can develop and who will need time. And then they are going to have to plug holes through portal and juco recruiting along with what high school prospects might be left on the board.

Leipold has the youngest Power Five roster in the nation. But that doesn't always mean the young players will be contributors in the future.

I believe in Leipold. I think he's a smart coach and knows what needs to be done. It is just going to take a lot of work. A lot. We all see it and know it.

One of the next decisions will be what happens at quarterback. I thought Jalon Daniels looked good. The ball came out of his hands with the some zip. He chose to run an showed his athleticism. I thought he threw some balls that I don't know if Bean and Kendrick make.

"The game of football is always the next man up mentality," Daniels said after the game. "I've been taking this year to be able to sit behind Miles Kendrick and Jason Bean, just learning from them, just learn to be able to get better when the opportunity comes."

When the talk came after the game about playing more this season he said it comes down to the coaching staff.

"I'm really taking a day by day," he said. "At the end of the day, I have faith in the coaching staff. I'm trusting the process. I believe in everything that they're doing. So whatever route they decide to take is a route that I'm going to go with."

I want to single out Rich Miller. That kid plays his tail off. He was the fourth LB at Buffalo and they returned their top three starters from last year. That kid plays with great effort. I will take more like that.

Bean practiced today making show is ready to go will be a gametime decision

Still plan to redshirt Daniels

Daniels did a good job stepping in

Getting Bean, Daniels and Fallin ready to go

Run game not where he wants it to be. They are always going to find ways to run the ball.

Run game needs to be more consistent and more efficient.

Pesek-Hickson is making up reps because of time missed in preseason. Still getting caught up. His role will increase.

Injuries are never fun to deal with because you feel bad for the kids. Then balance that with the next man mentality.

Can't remember a game he's ever coached losing two QB in one game.

Said Texas is physical on D with good athletes.


Brian Borland

They will prepare for Texas the same no matter who they start at QB

They are looking for something positive to build on. Players are still engaged in practice.

They have to perform better and hope to go into off season on an uptick.

It was great to get Sam Burt back. He started practicing a few weeks ago with a cast on his arm. He is one of the best interior players. He doesn't get moved around. Very mature and brings more than just playing on the field.

Will sign his National Letter-of-Itent with Kansas at 5:00.

I took a quick peek over there...

This board is more rational in a blowout loss than that quagmire in a win.

Atrocious

Joe Otting said he thinks the KU program is going in the right direction.

We are recording a day later than normal but just talked to Ketchum. Man, things not great in Austin.

He holds nothing back. Definitely entertaining.

He thinks KU will be in the game.

Not sure what prize will be just yet. Likely free time added to subscription. Person with the closest score wins.

USC and Washington State have already fired their HCs, Washington feels next, and let's not forget about Herm Edwards at Arizona State. And now this happened.

3-6 this year. A middling FCS program.

Raise your hand if you were conditioned to wait for KU’s 16 point lead to go to a 3-point lead with 2 minutes left!

Over the last several years, KU’s lack of ball security and inability to score at the end of the shot clock resulted in KU constantly spitting up double digit leads late in the game and turning them into nail biters.

I think with the depth of guards, ball handlers, free throw shooters and perhaps most of all, Remy to create and score or get fouled, KU will now be able to extend leads and not blow them.

Rock Chalk

KU offered him during his senior year in St. Louis. Does anybody know if they have any interest in him? I see he is a full qualifier and would have three years left.

His highlights look really solid. He has a strong arm and is very dynamic.

KU needs to offer him just for his name alone.

His name could describe KU's play for the past 12 years as well.

Seriously, though, this kid doesn't look too bad at all. He was a three star coming out of high school and he makes some nice throws in his highlight tape.

Will sign his National Letter-of-Intent with Kansas at 5:00.

Read an interesting article on QB Luther Richesson, son of former KU player Luke Richesson.

He plays for Trent Dilfer’s school Lipscomb in Nashville. Sounds like a really solid QB prospect.

JK - any early buzz on KU and him? I see Aligo follows him on Twitter.

He hit the score.

Happy birthday Marines! Stand tall.

They will let the players stay on scholarship to complete their two-year degrees.

I expect all four guys to sign with Kansas today/this week. Everything should be completed today, but I’m giving myself some wiggle room just in case a signee isn’t announced until tomorrow or Friday. However, I don’t believe there will be any setbacks.
