The Kansas University football team conducted a two-hour closed scrimmage Saturday at Memorial Stadium, working on short-yardage and long-yardage situations as well as red-zone work.
The quarterback duties mainly were split between Adam Barmann and Jason Swanson. Swanson stood out, completing 21 of 36 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns. Barmann was 12-of-20 for 98 yards and a touchdown. Marcus Herford, a red-shirt freshman who worked out with quarterbacks at the beginning of the spring season, caught four passes for 41 yards as a wide receiver. KU coach Mark Mangino has said Herford could be moved to receiver if his quarterback tryout didn’t work out, though no official announcement has been made.
KU will conduct eight more practices before the April 16th spring game, including a workout Wednesday that is open only to media.
