THE MORNING BREW
Foles steps up for Eagles in Vick's absence
Nick Foles backed up his seven- touchdown performance from last week with a solid 228-yard
last week with a solid 228-yard three-touchdown performance in a 27-13 Eagles win. Foles is making football analysts around the country wonder if he is the real deal or not. For now, Foles is leading the Eagles offense and will continue to do so, at least until Michael Vick is healthy again.
That is where things will become interesting. When Vick comes back from injury, will Chip Kelly still think he gives his team the best chance to win? After these last two performances, I can't imagine the answer to that question still being "yes." Foles has made the offense shine in the last two weeks and been amongst the league's top performers at the QB position. Is Nick Foles the Eagles' quarterback of the future? Has Michael Vick taken his last

Vick has been able to put his dogfighting scandal and his injuries behind and has always been able to come back. But has Nick finally run into a speed bump that he can't get over? Is Nick Foles the last straw?
snaps for the Eagles, or in the NFL at all? In 2007, Michael Vick was indicted on dogfighting charges by the federal government. Vick was forced to miss the entirety of the 2007 and 2008 NFL seasons. Vick lost all respect he had and was voted the most hated player in the NFL by his peers. People questioned whether or not we would ever see Michael Vick and his high-intensity play-style in the league again.
in 2009, Michael Vick was signed by Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick was finally given a second chance to play in the NFL. Vick did not start in 2009. In fact, he only attempted 13 passes. It wasn't until 2010 that Vick got a legitimate chance back in the NFL. Vick has played injury-riddled seasons every year since 2010 and hasn't played in more than 13 games since then. While Vick has been on the field, his play has been strong but inconsistent. The Eagles have had very similar success.
the guy to run Philly's high-powered, fast paced offense. But it seems like the more conventional play-style of Nick Foles is just what this offense needs. Move over Michael Vick, there is a new "QB1" in Philly, and animal lovers and their dogs are rejoicing everywhere.
Just last week, Foles became the third player in NFL history to throw seven touchdown passes on the road. Before, it was thought that Vick was

Longhorns end Jayhawks' winning streak

The No. 24 Jayhawks broke their three-game conference winning streak with a 1-3 loss to the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns 16-25, 25-15, 22-25, 21-25 in Austin, Texas, on Saturday.
Compared with the last time these two teams faced each other, the match was the same story, but a different setting. On Oct. 12, the Longhorns came to Lawrence and beat the Jayhawks 3-1. Kansas won the second set of both matches. A little bit of everything was working for the Jayhawks in the second set, said head coach Ray Bechard.
"We set well, we transitioned attacked well and we served extremely well." Bechard said. "From the first set to the second set we served better and passed better, that's why the score from the first set to the second set was so different."
The Jayhawks carried the second set victory and opened the third
set 16-14, but then ended up losing
22-25.
"We had a nice two-point lead deep into the third set,but we didn't get the response we needed," Bechard said.
The Texas Longhorns rank second in the Big 12 Conference for blocks and kills allowed, but the Jayhawks still hit the ball well.
Four Jayhawks finished the match with double-digit kills. Redshirt senior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael led the Jayhawks in kills with 13 and redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc led the Jayhawks in hitting percentage with .346 and tied for second in kills with 11.
"I went out aggressively," Jarmoc said. "I was effective when getting the ball in transition and putting the ball away when I got set." Junior outside hitter Sarah McClinton was the Jayhawks kills leader when the Longhorns came to Lawrence Oct. 12. On Saturday,
McClinton was tied for second on the Jayhawks with 11 kills. McClinton had an effective second set, hitting six of her 11 kills. McClinton didn't see a lot of double blocks on the outside and her ability to hit high over the single block explained her double-digit kill total, said McClinton.
"I could have played better and could have helped the team out a little more, but I was playing aggressive," McClinton said. "We came out there playing like we had nothing to lose."
The Longhorns couldn't have won without the dominant play from senior outside hitter Bailey Webster and junior middle blocker outside hitter Haley Eckerman. They helped the No. 1 ranked team in the country stay undefeated in the Big 12 Conference.
Eckerman was the match kills leader with 25 and .333 hitting percentage. Webster was the second leading hitter with 16 kills and .304
hitting percentage.
"Webster and Eckerman are very dynamic attackers and they have good shots," Jarmoc said about the Texas hitters, who are both top attackers within the Big 12 Conference.
The Jayhawks haven't beaten the Longhorns since 2003, which means that no one on the current team has ever beaten Texas. That can be very frustrating, said coach Bechard.
For the senior women, they won't get another chance to beat Texas in their career unless they meet again in the NCAA tournament. Jarmoc said she tries not to think about the fact that Saturday might have been her last opportunity to beat Texas.
"I like to attack opportunities as they come, but I try not to think about them after they've gone by," Jarmoc said.
