Run, B-Mac, run

After each KU football game this season, this is where you can find out the gridiron equivalent of The Nielsen Ratings from Journal-World sports editor Tom Keegan. He'll rate the Top 10 Jayhawk individual performances, telling you who was worth tuning in to watch. If you agree or maybe even differ, make sure to comment and tell Tom how you really feel. (Scoring: Each week, the top player in the ratings will be awarded 10 points. Second best gets nine points. Third best gets eight points, and so on and so on. The season standings are at the bottom)

1. Brandon McAnderson: Rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns and had runs of 40, 33, 22, 20, and 17 yards. Is averaging a remarkable 6.7 yards per carry.

2. Anthony Collins: Drives tacklers up the field to open up so much room for the runners.

3. Aqib Talib: Had three pass break-ups and six tackles.

4. Kendrick Harper: As is Talib, Harper is a really hard hitter for a cornerback.

5. Mike Rivera: Delivered punishing hit after punishing hit and finished with 10 tackles.

6. Darrell Stuckey: The secondary is packed with hard hitters and Stuckey’s one of them.

7. James McClinton: Had two tackles behind the line of scrimmage and as always, occupied blockers so the linebackers could make plays.

8. Todd Reesing: Managed the offense well and did not turn it over once. Has just four interceptions, eight games into the season.

9. Dezmon Briscoe: Made six catches, with a long of 19 yards.

10. John Larson: Had three tackles and a fumble recovery that he was able to get because he was in the backfield.
