Why the rushing game stinks Mangino is blaming everyone but the running backs
COMMENTARY
B. J. We are four games into the season, and the Jayhawks still have some problems that need to be addressed. Which of the problems has surprised you the most so far?
raylor: That's got to be the running game. There haven't been any significant injuries on the offensive side of the ball to deter the run, yet it stinks. Obviously the loss of offensive tackle Anthony Collins, who's now in the NFL, was huge. Freshman Jeff Spikes hasn't been terrible in replacing him, but without Collins there doesn't seem to be the same fire. This also makes me realize just how good of a running back Brandon McAnderson was.
interior on the offensive line and chastised the wide receivers for not holding blocks, but when do we finally realize that there's not a No. 1 runner anywhere in the backfield? It may be time to take a step back and admit that the backs simply aren't as good as we thought they were.
B. J.: McAnderson was a freak of nature, and I wonder how he was able to put up those numbers last year. The running game has been so hard to figure out because I just don't get why the players are struggling so badly. Jake Sharp and Jocques Crawford are both quality backs, but they get no room when they get the ball.
Taylor: Coach Mark Mangino has passed the blame around to just about everyone except the running backs. He's called out his veteran
B. J. That might be the case, but I'm not ready to give up on them just yet. They all have put up some pretty good numbers in the past, and at some point, they will end up producing like they have before. The big concern for me is the cornerback position. There is a chance the Jayhawks could get Kendrick Harper back for the Iowa State game next weekend, but if they don't, they have to find someone that can cover somebody. Chris Harris has emerged as a shut down corner on the left side of the field, but they must get Corrigan Powell, Ryan Murphy, Isiah Barfield or maybe even somebody else to be
able to at least stay with their guy.
Taylor: That's certainly a problem, but there's not a medication available that magically turns freshmen into upperclassmen. Those kids need to learn through experience. Preferably back-up experience, but at least their mistakes are easily explained by youth. If I were Mangino, I'd leave Harper on the bench until! the game against Colorado, a team that can actually hurt you with the pass. We'll see some vast improvements from the right cornerback position against the Cyclones, who rank dead last in the Big 12 in passing yards per game.
B. J. We'll have to wait another week to see Kansas on the field, but check out The Hot Route blog and podcast for news and information to get you ready for next weekend's game.

Kim leads Tour Championship Fresh off Ryder Cup victory, he doesn't break stride
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Anthony Kim wore a red shirt, fired at flags and made birdies on almost half of his holes.
So much for that Ryder Cup hangover. The way Kim played Thursday in the opening round of the Tour Championship, it was almost as if the Ryder Cup never ended.
Four days after Kim humbled Sergio Garcia, he beat 29 players
just as badly at East Lake with a 6-under 64 that gave Kim a four-shot lead over Masters champion Trevor Immelman, Ryder Cup teammate Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els.
"It took me a couple of days to get over that celebration." Kim said of a $16\frac{1}{2}-11\%$ victory over Europe. "Obviously, it's nice when you walk up to a green and you've got a couple of people (saying).' Nice job at the Ryder Cup. Way to bring the cup back. little things like that. I feel like when
I'm happy, having a good time, I'm going to make some birdies."

Vijay Singh wasn't feeling it. He only has to complete all four rounds at East Lake to capture the FedEx Cup, and that might have been the best part of his opening round at East Lake — he finished. But he started poorly, 5 over through 11 holes, before settling for a 73.

Kenny Perry, the Kentucky hero from the Ryder Cup, also found little reason to smile. He opened with a 76, and while that won't take away from his memories of red, white and blue, what irritated him was a pink slip.
It was his summons for drug testing, the second of the year for the 48-year-old Perry.
Good thing the 23-year-old Kim had four days to try to get the Ryder Cup out of his system. He was the life of the party Sunday night, especially after his 5- and 4-victory over Garcia in which Kim made birdie or better on six of his 14 holes.
"Just trying to enjoy the moment," he said. "This Ryder Cup hangover doesn't feel as bad as a college hangover."
