"Marcus is a beautiful target," junior quarterback Jason Swanson said. "He is a big, strong, 6-3 guy. He's fast, and when he gets the ball he makes plays. It's a help at wide receiver for us."
Swanson took the majority of

The offensive line has had some shake-ups since the last open practice, as Matt Thompson, who started the spring at center, has been moved back to his original position of right tackle. Freshman Todd Hasselhorst moved from the defensive side of the ball to take over duties at center.
Yesterday's practice was just Haselhorst's third at center. The offensive line also will likely include freshman Cesar Rodriguez and sophomores Bob Whitaker and David Ochoa in the starting lineup next season. During the scrimmage section of yesterday's practice, the team spent most of the time working the ball through the air. Running backs Clark Green and Gary Green did not run the ball very often, but both gained yards on receptions. Practice notes

"When he learns the position and understands the mechanics of snapping the ball and all those things, all those assignments, I think he is going to be pretty good," Mangino said.
Junior defensive back Greg Heaggans did not practice yesterday and Mangino confirmed that at this time he is not with the team.
♦ A crew of nine referees helped officiate the practice.
The officials were also practicing for the fall football season.

The Kansas players noticed the sizable crowd, and they were grateful for the support.
"It was a great crowd," Scholl said of the 11th-biggest in Hoglund Ballpark's six-year history. "It's too bad it started to rain. It seemed like the more it came down, the more people were getting up and leaving."
With the victory, Kansas improved its record to 23-12. Wichita State fell to 23-10. The Jayhawks have now won two of their last three games against the Shockers. The two teams will tangle three more times this season. Kansas will travel to Norman, Okla., this weekend to take on the Oklahoma Sooners in a three-game Big 12 Conference series. Wichita State (23-10) will resume Missouri

Already this season Kansas has taken the series opener from each of two ranked opponents, Texas A&M and Nebraska. If the 'Hawks can start stringing big victories together, the team will be able to contend with the top competition in the region. When that happens, Kansas and Wichita State will both be chasing the premier area talent. Every time the Jayhawks beat the Shockers, it'll be just a little easier for the coaches in Lawrence to land the big recruits.
