Building a program

In today’s world of transfers, I am afraid it might be hard to build a program for KU. If someone from a winning program sees a player on our roster it may not be too hard of sale their program. There are players that are worthy on winning games. I think LL biggest accomplishment will be able to hold together the roster until he can turn this thing around.

Sellout In Jeopardy (AFH)

KU ticketing office just called me with an offer for the next two home games of 10 tickets for $100 ($10/ticket). I'm guessing the sellout is in jeopardy, but that's just my speculation. Maybe they do this every year. If so, they've never called me.

The games are against Tarleton and Stoney Brook, but still, $10 to get into AFH is unheard of. Wonder why we're having trouble moving tickets all of a sudden? The team looked fantastic in the opener.

Will Huggins gone for year through surgery.

They have four healthy RB and that means payers who can play special teams.

He was proud of Jalon Daniels and they way he came in. He didn't have many reps in practice. 75% to the starter and then 25% to the back up and a "sprinkle" to the third string.

In August there was a QB competition and he got reps back then. It showed he was paying attention and watching.

They are fortunate to have Daniels and said some guys in that position wouldn't play and say they were told they would redshirt. If he's called upon he will be ready.

Miles Fallin taking some reps and been in program for a long time.

Jason Bean is still questionable. On Monday he was doubtful.

Said Zebrowski thrives in these situations as a coach. Said he is probably drinking more energy drinks and burning the midnight oil.

Trevor Wilson stepped back up and Luke Grimm was hurt. Hoping to get Grimm back this week.

On team improvements they talked about 36 fewer sacks allowed compared to the nine games last year. Fuchs has done a good job. They can compares some things to last year since they played nine games for the season.

They are gaining confidence and protecting their QBs. #2 in Big 12 in fewest sacks allowed and #16 in the nation.

Avg 47 yards per game more on offense than last year.

They have 300 more rushing yards compared to last season. A full yard per carry better. Said something that doesn't get mentioned is the blocking of the WR.

Asked if he is happy with the game of college football.... said they are working to get better at it. He's more on side of expanding playoffs. Said they are working on safety. He said he wished they could shorten the TV timeouts.

Said he was surprised that Novitsky went to KU. Said he is from that area and when he decided to go to KU it was a "huge. huge addition."

Below are some notes from Leipold:

Leipold wished McGuire luck and said they first met when Baylor played KU.

Bean dressed out for practice and said he won't comment if he will start. He's not ruled out.

Kendrick has graduated and has another year but nothing has been discussed.

Said there are small strides being made but not showing up on the scoreboard

Good energy at practice today.

Players have embraced in the consistency in which they are going about to build. They don't worry about the scoreboard they are focused on each play.

He said someone showed him their first nine opponents are winning 72% of their games and the last three are under .500

Burt wants to redshirt and be a part of the program. They said you have three games to play but wanted one of them to be KSU. Said Burt brings confidence, maturity and leadership.
