HawkTrax - Dezmon Briscoe

Dynamic duo: KU’s Briscoe, Meier pack quite a punch

They try everything. Three-man rushes. Eight-man drops. Two-deep zones. Cover fours. Stunts. Double teams. Blitz after blitz after blitz.

Reesing, Briscoe spark historic win

In the aftermath of the Kansas University football team’s historic 42-21 Insight Bowl victory over Minnesota — which long will be remembered as the day Jayhawks quarterback Todd Reesing and receiver Dezmon Briscoe essentially were unstoppable — the two players made their way to a news conference at Sun Devil Stadium, where dozens of reporters wanted to know how, exactly, they had managed to do what they had just done.

Under the radar

WR Briscoe quietly putting up big numbers for Jayhawks

In the days leading up to the Kansas University football team’s 11 a.m. matchup with eighth-ranked Texas Tech on Saturday, much of the pre-game focus will center on the Jayhawks ability to slow down Red Raiders receiver Michael Crabtree, last year’s Biletnikoff Award winner and consensus all-American. What won’t be discussed nearly as much - but could play just as big a role in the game’s outcome - is how the Tech defense hopes to limit Kansas receiver Dezmon Briscoe.

KU’s Briscoe wanted win

Two-hundred sixty-nine receiving yards weren’t enough to put a smile on Dezmon Briscoe’s face. “It would mean a whole lot more if we would have won,” the KU receiver said after his team’s 45-31 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. “It’s an individual stat, but I’m really more of a team player.”

Briscoe no ‘T.O.’

KU sophomore receiver quietly does his job

Don’t expect Kansas University receiver Dezmon Briscoe to change his name to Dezmon Ocho Cero, Spanish for “8-0.” Although Briscoe acknowledges being a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson, he’s not in any hurry to emulate Mr. Ocho Cinco. Same goes for Briscoe’s thoughts about Terrell Owens. Briscoe, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound KU sophomore, enjoys watching both NFL superstars play the position, but does not see any sit-ups in the driveway or Sharpies in the sock in his future.
