Capricorn: Today is a 7. You're in a growth phase. You're taking on more responsibility, and maybe even getting more freedom. Self-expression is a function of responsibility, you know.

There's the hands-on stuff, of course, but there's also a lot of wheeling and dealing going on behind the scenes. You can do well, but only if you watch the overview, as well as the details. Enjoy!

Allen couldn't help but smile at the thought of the improvement, coupled with 16 returning starters, including most of the skill position players and three of the Jayhawks' fastest wide receivers. "With the speed returning, if you will, I feel comfortable that we will be able to throw the football." Allen said. Another year of development for quarterback Dylen Smith will be beneficial as well. Smith couldn't practice with the team until August because he was fulfilling requirements to be able to attend Kansas. He spent the rest of the season familiarizing himself with the Kansas offense. "I was pleased with how I did this year, but I think next year with more time I should be even better," Smith said. Despite being thrown into the offense, Smith completed one of the most successful years for a Kansas quarterback since Mark Williams in 1995. He finished with 1,599 passing yards and 12 touchdown passes, the best totals since Williams was part of 10-2 Kansas team that won the Aloha Bowl. The emergence of running back Moran Norris and two redshirt running backs Reggie Duncan and Harold McClendon will make the running back position even deeper than this year, when the 'Hawks had four running backs with more than 400 yards for the first time since 1991. In all, Allen said it was an up-and-down season, but progression toward becoming a better football team made Allen wish that in a way, the season still was going. "If we would have been able to have about six preseason games and then start the season, then we probably could have been a bowl team," he said. - Edited by Matt James Chandler finishes 10th in career receptions Continued from page 1B now. He has graduation to think about — and if nothing else, finding a real job. "I'm not ready for that," he said. "I'll have to start out slow and work into that kind of thinking." And though this season didn't end with a bowl game or a victory against Kansas State — two things Chandler said he wanted out of this season more than anything else — he said he hopes his legacy, and that of the senior class, continues into next year's football team. "I hope that once it's over, we're seen as a tough bunch of kids," he said. "Maybe we didn't have the most talent, but we played tough. I think that pushed people to work a little bit harder." He ends his career with 82 career receptions, tied for 10th all time at Kansas. He is 15th in career reception yardage with 1,050 yards. Chandler said he was happy he could leave with his name in the record books, but he knows some of those marks may not last. "I told Harrison Hill that he ain't 10th all time yet," Chandler said. "But he'll probably be up there. This group of guys we have right now, they're going to do some things." Chandler credits football for his sanguine attitude toward his difficulties. "It makes you stronger and makes you persevere and overcome those bad things," he said. "I mean, for everything that's happened to me, I have no regrets." Edited by Allan Davis
