Tony Pierson’s career day earns top Keegan honors

By Staff     Nov 10, 2012

**1. Tony Pierson:** In his first post-injury game without wearing an elbow brace, Pierson had runs of 69 and 49 yards and finished a career-best 202 rushing yards on 16 carries.

**2. James Sims:** Scored three touchdowns, two rushing and one receiving. Set a school record with his sixth consecutive 100-yard rushing game.

**3. Tanner Hawkinson:** Helped create openings for Pierson and Sims on a day Kansas rushed for 390 yards.

**4. Duane Zlatnik:** Strong left guard delivered some pancakes and generally gave Sims enough running room to have another big day.

**5. Ben Heeney:** Has a real knack for stopping ball-carriers dead in their tracks. Had eight solo tackles, one assist and two tackles for a loss.

**6. Jake Love:** Made two of his three solo tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

**7. Bradley McDougald:** Returned an interception 32 yards.

**8. Michael Cummings:** Quarterback had a 41-yard run on fourth down and never turned the ball over.

**9. Trevor Marrongelli:** Strong run blocking compensates for holding penalty.

**10. Brandon Bourbon:** Scored on a 10-yard reception and is developing into a receiving threat out of the backfield and a good blocker.
