• **Gill’s keys to the game:** 1. Score touchdowns; 2. Have ball security; 3. Create three or more takeaways on defense; 4. Continue to tackle well.
• **KU safety Lubbock Smith is doubtful for the OSU game with a concussion.**
• **Gill believes the potential is there for KU to build a dynasty and build a program in football.** That’s why he accepted the job at KU.
• **Quinn Mecham will start at quarterback for KU.** Gill says KU could play both Mecham and Jordan Webb.
• **KU will do different things to disrupt the timing of OSU’s passing offense.** The biggest goal is to disrupt OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden.
• **Last week, Webb was somewhat limited in practice.** He did get some reps. This week, Webb shouldn’t be limited at all.
