I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players. In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense. I'm no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year — in every sport, not just football and basketball — is a pretty significant number. And if I'm not mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30? I'm arguing for a ruling. Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse. remaining on the game clock and the game on the line. On third and six from their own 30-yard line, Texas Tech stunned everyone — including the Kansas defense — by running a draw play to their running back Taurean Henderson. Henderson ran up the middle and didn't stop until he reached the end zone for a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Texas Tech took a 31-30 lead with which they would eventually win. — Edited by Jonathan Shorman The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program. The Jayhawks have not been able to shake the loss against Texas Tech, as they've gone on to lose four consecutive games to the Red Raiders. The losses haven't been ordinary, either.

What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Jayhawks. Texas Tech's offensive numbers, while not quite what they used to be, are still very dawning, as the Red Raiders average 523.3 yards of offense per game. 19 Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy that that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the four-game losing skid. To overcome those odds, they'll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders. "You've got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm," Shealy said. "In three ball games, they've had 21 passes for over 20 yards. You've got to limit that big play, and no one's done it. Hopefully we can do it." to be ominous when taking a glance at what the Kansas defense has done in 2011, ranking last in the nation by allowing an average of 550 yards per game.

The Jayhawks have lost the last four games against the Red Raiders.
