**1 – Nick Harwell:** A terrific route runner, Harwell is getting a chance to show his stuff now that Kansas has a better thrower at quarterback. Harwell had five receptions for 79 yards and two touchdowns.
**2 – Michael Reynolds:** Didn’t come away with a sack but did force a fumble in the backfield and had six tackles, including five solos, one for a loss.
**3 – Corey Avery:** In the first game with wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau calling the plays, Avery was featured more in the passing game. He had four receptions for 92 yards, but was only able to gain 25 yards on the ground on 11 carries.
**4 – Nigel King:** Came alive in the second half and finished with four receptions for 68 yards. He knows how to come away with passes that are within reach of defenders.
**5 – Ben Heeney:** Desperate for a short-yardage back, Kansas turned to Heeney for a carry. As usual, the blocks weren’t there. No gain. Defensively, he contributed 10 tackles, eight solos.
**6 – Michael Cummings:** Doesn’t have pocket presence or speed to avoid the rush, but when given time to throw can deliver the ball on time and on target. Was thrown to the ground for 28 yards in rushing losses and had trouble hanging onto the ball. Threw the ball well, completing 21 of 30 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns.
**7 – Fish Smithson:** Showing good nose for the ball again, Smithson had nine tackles, six solos.
**8 – Jimmay Mundine:** Caught four passes for 31 yards.
**9 -Dexter McDonald:** Did a decent job in coverage against a team that makes it difficult on cornerbacks.
**10 – Tedarian Johnson:** Gets the most of his ability and is a strong presence in short-yardage situations at nose tackle.
