Since accepting the job as Kansas football head coach, David Beaty consistently has believed in competing for jobs continuing right into the brink of the season and beyond. The thinking is that it keeps everyone battling every day as if their job depends on it because it ...
The Kansas football newcomer I most look forward to seeing in Saturday's 6 p.m. season opener vs. Nicholls is, without question, running back Anthony "Pooka" Williams, for a variety of reasons. Stories told about him spinning, cutting so sharply, even leaping over a linebacker in ...
