Mangino: Loss of Talib is No. 1 problem

For those who like to point their fingers at Coach Bowan as being the reason for our dismal year, please note that Clint Bowan was a co-defensive coordinator before Young left for Miami. He has had some training before this year, but doesn't have the luxury of having a "co-defensive coordinator" to bounce his thoughts and schemes off of, like Young had with him.

Tackling troubles frustrate KU

They might be seniors but if they don't have any speed, then they will be torched.

Also, we did have the lead in Stinken Lincoln 14 - 7, but didn't keep it very long.

Another thing, Young had Bowen to bounce ideas and schemes off of the last few years. Bowen doesn't have that person this year.

Dugan Arnett's KU football notebook

It was Nick, but not too many people know or remember that Nick was playing on a bum knee that required surgery after the season ended.

Ageed, JBurtin!

Kansas unusually porous vs. run

Like Patton said, the BIG12 has enough tie-ins to Bowl games where we are guaranteed a Bowl game.

Linebacker picks KU

He is being recruited as a LB. Why are some people so quick to move the players to a new position? He's only 6'2" and can carry a little more muscle weight, but not the kind of weight he would need to be a dominant rush DE.

DJ Marshall is redshirting this year plus his knee has been a little banged up, so it really doesn't matter.

Keegan: North title up for grabs

Last time I checked, I could yell just as loud sitting on my ass, as I could standing on my two feet. Amazing!

Dugan Arnett's KU football notebook

Usually HCMM will admit his mistakes after a game. I don't know why he hasn't on this one.

I did read where there might be some differences between some of the coaches on how to run the offense in a situation like that. I hope this doesn't lead to any of our coaches jumping ship.

Texas, Kansas State football games sold out

What's more impressive about the alltime attendance record for a single game, is that it was a non-con game against a team that didn't bring hardly any fans.

This is good also because it's not the NU or ksu games, so they can't use the "we brought a bunch of our fans and that's why it was a record" crap.

No room to hide

Holt was my pick for the "biggest impact player" last year. Maybe I should have delayed it for one year.

We are going to miss these 3 LB's next year. Hopefully guys like Springs, Dudley, Lewis or someone else will step up to the plate.
