Kansas cornerback Shakial Taylor (8) tries to hang on as TCU wide receiver John Diarse (9) trudges up the field during the first quarter, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017 at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.

So you think you’d like to do this job, huh? You’re one of the ones who asks, “Does the paper pay for your flight? Really? And the meals? You’re kidding? You’re so lucky.”

Oh, really? How would you like to try rank the top 10 performers in Saturday’s 43-0 loss to TCU in Amon G. Carter Stadium?

Here goes:

**1 – Bryce Torneden:** Blitzed his way into a prominent place in opposing offensive coordinators’ game planning. Had a sack and another tackle behind the line and two quarterback hurries to go with three solo tackles and two assists.

**2 – Dorance Armstrong:** Forced a fumble, had a tackle behind the line and was in on eight tackles, five solo.

**3 – Joe Dineen:** In on 11 tackles, seven solo, one behind the line.

**4 – Daniel Wise:** The always-active defensive tackle was in on four tackles, two of the solo variety.

**5 – Ben Johnson:** Caught four passes for 35 yards.

**6 – Cole Moos:** Punted 11 times for an average of 43.2. I wonder if Kansas has an easier time recruiting punters than other positions because punters like to punt.

**7 – Liam Jones:** Kicked off once and boomed it 65 yards for a touchback.

**8 – Carter Stanley:** Led the Jayhawks with 4.5 yards per rush on his two carries. Also completed 1 of 2 passes, so during garbage time he accounted for 17 yards on a night Kansas had 21 yards in total offense.

**9 – J.J. Holmes:** Doesn’t get pushed around.

**10 – Osaze Ogbebor:** Moves well.
