Quarterback Corps Led by Marshall
Although coach Jack Mitchell has no quarterbacks who are experienced in running the sliding-T formation, the availability of Bobby Marshall brightens the quarterback picture as fall practice begins.
Marshall suffered a knee injury early last season which was expected to finish his football career, but the Warrensburg, Mo. senior has seemingly recovered and is expected to engineer the Jayhawker offense.
If Marshall cannot stand the grind, there is hope in two lettermen from last year. Duane Morris and Larry McKown. Morris can deliver in a clutch as he proved against Colorado and Kansas State last year when he sparked winning rallies. McKown improved noticeably during the spring and headed the winning thrust against the alumni.
Another top prospect is sophomore Bill Crank, a holdout halfback. Crank started against the alumni last spring. Continued improvement could elevate him to one of the top two teams.
