Candidates for Game balls
¢ Jake Sharp, for the second week in a row, showed Kansas does have a running game after all, gaining 118 yards and rushing for three touchdowns.
¢ Jake Laptad tackled Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins for a safety and then made the safety sign, putting his hands together above his head.
¢ Kerry Meier limped his way to 94 yards on nine receptions and sprinted away from any injury talk afterward.
Candidates for Gassers
¢ Marcus Herford, though not to blame for the entire breakdown of the unit, continued his rough senior season, averaging 13 yards per kickoff return.
¢ Daymond Patterson had a rough time returning punts and was replaced midgame by Fields. A freshman, Patterson has the talent to bounce back, but has hit the freshman wall.

It seems to me remembering some of the great KSU return teams that they tried to catch the ball on the run which was extremely risky but gave huge dividends. Never recall seeing much of a problem from that, though. Standing directly under the ball, catching it, then deciding where to run, then running may be just too slow for this day and age. If a guy can catch the ball while running toward the opposition at say, three-quarter speed would surely give him an advantage.
