Game balls and gassers: KU vs. Northern Illinois

By Staff Reports     Sep 11, 2011

Candidates for game balls

• Jordan Webb made great throws on the run and into tight spots all night and checked off receivers, showing he has improved a great deal since a year ago. He completed 21 of 30 for 281 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

• D.J. Beashers had two TD receptions, including the game-winner, returned the kick that set up the final score 51 yards, and had an 18-yard gain on a reverse on the final drive.

• James Simstoughed out 110 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

Candidates for gassers

• The entire defensive line for getting locked up at the line, getting very little penetration, and not being able to catch Chandler Harnish when the pocket did collapse.

• The entire secondary for leaving such huge pockets in pass protection.

• Every player flagged for a holding penalty, except, of course, Beshears.
