COACHING
The Jayhawks defense, which struggled at times against the McNeese State passing attack, gets exploited again. The Jayhawks defense will not be able to get away with mistakes in their secondary against the Harnish led Huskies attack.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
The Huskies will present the first true test for the young Jayhawks. The Huskies looked dominant in their opening win over Army, putting 49 points on the board, and holding Army to just six points until the back-ups entered in the fourth quarter. The Huskies won the MAC-west division last season, and are expected to compete for the title once again this season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
AT A GLANCE
Senior quarterback Chandler Harnish. Harnish is listed on the watch list for five college football awards this preseason, including the Walter Camp Player of the Year
award. He was selected as the First team ALI-MAC quarterback for the 2010 season.
He opened up his 2011 campaign by scorching the Army defense for six total touchdowns (five passing, one rushing).

SPECIAL TEAMS
Northern Illinois splits their kicking duties between sophomore place kicker Matthew Sims, who knocked down all seven of his PATs against Army, and freshman kick-off specialist Tyler Wedel. Junior punter Ryan Neir placed one of his two punts against Army inside their 20 yard line.

the defense stop the Jayhawks rushing atter
The Huskies allowed Army to rush for more than 300 yards in their opening contest. Kansas rushed for 301 yards in its opener against McNeese State. If the Huskies stop Kansas rushing attack, it could be a long day for Kansas, if not Kansas could deliver a harsh reality check and upset Northern Illinois.
STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
Dual threat senior quarterback Chandler Harnish leads a very balanced attack for Northern Illinois. Harnish passed for 195 yards and five touchdowns in the opener, but he also carried the ball 11 times for 80 yards. Senior running back Jasmin Hopkins led the team with 137 yards against Army and averaged just under 10 army per carry.

DEFENSE
The Huskies defense underwent a big turnover in the offseason as they only return three players from their 2010 squad. 2011 is also the first year under the defensive system implemented by new coach Dave Doeren and Jay Neimann. They allowed over 300 yards on the ground to Army in their first game, but also allowed only six points until the back-ups entered the game in mop-up time.

All of the occupants escaped with no injuries, but the fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, and the house is severely damaged. At least 13 people were in the house, including seven students who lived there, according to James Hennahane, a sophomore from Leawood. Hennahane said he was asleep inside when the fire started.
Fire engulfed a house on the 1300 block of Tennessee Street around 6 a.m. Sunday.

Hennahane was one of the last to exit; neighbors lent him shoes and a shirt. He watched the fire from outside as a propane tank on the porch by the grill exploded, destroying part of the roof. He said every part of the house was damaged by fire and water.
Andrew Adford, a sophomore from Moorpark, Calif., was one of the first to discover a sofa on fire on the porch. After waking several people on the first floor, Adford saw that the fire had grown out of control and consumed the porch.
"The fire alarm was going, but people were still sleeping." Adford
John Kindscher, a sophomore from Leawood, also was asleep when the fire started.
"You don't really have time to think," he said. "Just try to get everybody and get out. The fire started so fast, and the smoke was so thick."
sald. After helping to warn people on the second and third floors, he exited the house through a third-floor fire escape.
Some residents will stay with family in the Kansas City area while they make decisions about what to do next. Kathryn Tuttle, the Vice Provest for Student Success, contacted the students Sunday to
offer help obtaining textbooks, temporary housing and emergency funds. Students can donate household items and money at collection boxes located at the Student Union Activities office in the Kansas Union or at the office of the Jayhawk Towers.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire-Medical is investigating the cause of the fire, according to Sgt. Randy Roberts, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
