Even with the struggles and breakdowns Kansas defense has experienced in the first five games of the season. Mangino said he saw several individuals who stood out on defense, including senior linebacker Greg Cole. Cole leads the team with 47 tackles.
Football CONTINUED FROM 1B
Big 12 defense statistics place Cole as the sixth leading tackler, with the second most tackles for loss in the conference.
Cole said one key to his improvement was his relationship with linebacker coach Dave Doeren.
"Every game, I ask Coach Doeren what I need to work on
better," Cole said. "He tells me, and I just apply it the whole week in practice and prepare for it. In the games, it just translates over."
The 'cut loose' mentality Mangino wants his defense to display in practice and in games has Cole believing that he and his fellow defenders can continue to improve and eliminate the number of breakdowns in games.
"Coach has told us to put it in your mind that you want to make the play," Cole said. "That's the goal for all 11 guys. If everybody is doing their job and they're trying to make the play, all of us will swarm the football and we should be a good defensive team."
Despite limiting Tulsa's offense to 18 points through three quarters last Saturday, Kansas is ranked last in total defense in the Big 12 Conference. Coach Mark Mangino said yesterday he wanted defenders to stop thinking so much and simply go after the opposing offense with abandon.

Wood CONTINUED FROM 1B
Smith has been simply incredible. She has 23 points (10 goals, three assists) in just 10 games this year. Only seven women in Division I have scored more points than her. She's gathered several awards, with many, many more likely to come in the next four years.
Score a point for Francis and the KU coaching staff. For as talented as Smith has proved to be, she really wasn't all that heavily recruited. A couple Big 12 coaches and the fans are now wondering why.
Could it be her size? She's 5-foot-2, the shortest girl on the Jayhawks and usually the shortest player on the field.
If anything, her height is an advantage. Her short, powerful legs allow her to run low to the ground, weaving in and out of defenders whom she has made look bad so many times.
Could it be her location?
Smith hails from Minnesota, a state that loves, well, ice hockey (Smith earned four varsity letters), ice fishing (no word on if Smith enjoys that) and a lot of other snow-related activities. Its weather is not exactly paradise for a soccer player.
So Francis, time and time again, goes after Minnesota's diamonds in the rough. Brianna Valento came to KU in 1999. Rachel Gilfillan, another forward with a knack for scoring, joined the Jafawkins last season.
And now, Caroline Smith is here. She scored three goals and assisted on another one last weekend, leading KU to a 5-1 blowout over Colorado and a 1-1 tie against No. 18 Nebraska.
Smith may well be the best freshman Kansas fans will see this year. She's a joy to watch. She's already setting records. She's been unstoppable.
And she's just beginning.

In game one after a Kansas timeout, tied 14-14, the Jayhawks scored seven of the next ten points to gain a 22-17 advantage. They never looked back, winning game one 30-22. Lima tallied seven kills, while the team limited the Kangaroos to a .083 team hitting percentage.
had 10 kills. Sophomore outside hitter Lindsey Morris also had 10 kills, her season high.
"I just knew that I had to go in there and spark something and find some energy on the court," Morris said.
In the next game, UMKC took the lead for the first time, 9-8. With Kansas leading 13-11, the Kangaroos marked seven of the next eight points to lead the Jayhawks 18-14. After tying the game twice, Kansas regained the lead 27-26. Kansas sealed game two, 30-27, scoring three of the final four points.
Beachard said. "But I also want that to be a trait of a team that can come back when trailing in the match."
"After the Texas Tech match, I don't want that to be a habit."
"They've continued to do that. I sensed the team was in a bit of trouble, but I don't think the team sensed they were in trouble and they finished game two."
Game three was tight. Neither team extended its lead over three points. Kansas exceeded that, leading 25-21, before a UMKC timeout. But the timeout did not stop Kansas as it sealed game three and the match 30-25. Lima and Morris had seven kills each in that game.
The Jayhawks will resume their conference season at 7 p.m. on Saturday, traveling to Austin, Tex., to take on Texas.
Junior Abbie Jacobson pulled her hamstring in game two. She was unable to play in game three and her status for the Texas match is uncertain.
