NATIONALLY TELEVISED Kansas will be on national television yet again next weekend.

After the Nebraska game, the team will have appeared on national television in four of its last five games. Kansas visit to Texas A&M can be seen on ESPN2, Sunflower Broadband channel 34, at 6 p.m. Saturday. RECRUITING UPDATE Kansas football's winning ways may have earned the team more than appearances on national television — recruits are paying attention. Dodge City High quarterback Kale Pick has given a verbal commitment to play at Kansas next season, Dodge City High head coach Justin Burke said. Pick originally committed to play at Arkansas earlier this year but changed his mind and agreed to come to Kansas earlier this week. Pick, a 6-foot-1, 198-pound high school player, is rated as a three-star recruit by the Web site rivals.com. Pick is listed as the sixth-best player in Kansas and the 11th-best dual-threat quarterback in the nation by rivals.com. Kansas Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said Tuesday that Kansas and ESPN are on good terms despite some miscommunication between Mangino and sideline reporter Jack Arute last week. ESPN planned on interviewing Mangino as he left the field at halftime, but the network changed its plans without notifying Kansas. When Arute did not meet Mangino as the teams returned for the second-half, it appeared that Kansas had declined the interview, but that was not the case. The miscommunication was an accident and nothing more, and Mangino had since spoken to ESPN and Arute to make sure everything was fine, Marchiony said.

Oregon - The Ducks take care of USC by at least two touchdowns 3.
