Game shows strength, weakness
By Kelly Cannon sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
There are six days and counting until the season opener against Alabama-Birmingham, and the Jayhawk football team is still ironing out some kinks in their game.
; Kansas had its first scrimmage under the new stadium lights last night and the players were awed by the situation, particularly the receivers, said Kansas head coach Terry Allen.
"The receivers were exactly what we wanted," Allen said. "I think some guys were intimidated by the circumstances. The receiver crop showed their lack of experience. But maybe it's good that we got it out of them early."
A lot of attention was spent on special teams. Freshmen Joe Garcia kicked a 51-yard field goal and freshman David Winbush returned a kick-off for a touchdown. Allen is still contemplating putting Winbush in the kick returner position.
"I'm not sure I want to put a true freshman in that position right now," Allen said.
The offense is improving with each practice and fixing any problems, Allen said.
"Our offense has improved quite a bit," he said. "We're aligned better and executing better than four days ago. We had some good special teams work. A lot of times in early season games you see off-sides penalties, or 12 men in or 10 men in, in transition or special teams plays. Hopefully, we have gotten enough of those game-type setting that we will eliminate a lot of those."
'The looming quarterback question was finally answered; Matt Johner will be the starter.

said. "Coming out of two a-days and spring practice I never once thought for sure that I had it."
Johner said he understood that the success of the offense rode on his shoulders.
"There are so many young guys on the offense, and we needed experience," Johner said. "So he (Allen) gave it to a senior.
Kansas swimming dives into season

Kansas' swimming coach, Gary Kempf smiles when he talks about the upcoming season.
In his 26th season with the swim teams he said he welcomes the return of veteran swimmers like Tyler Painter. Painter finished second in the 1500-meter freestyle and third in the 800-meter freestyle this summer at Japan's Pan Pacific Games.
Painter led the team in first place finishes last season.
"Tyler is a premiere swimmer," Kemp said.
Kempf plugs Painter's hard
work and dedication, mentioning that the swimmer deserves the credit for his own success. Painter, a member of the U.S. National Team, will compete in an Australian meet next year.
Kempf can also smile about the return of senior Kostaki Chiligiris, whom Kempf said had a strong season.
"He is as well a rounded athlete we have ever had here," said Kempf.
Chiligris' versatility is evident in his ability to swim powerfully in the freestyle, backstroke and the individual medley, which combines all four strokes: butterfly, back, breast, and freestyle.
Also mentioned by the coach
were senior Brad Artis and sophomore Brandon Chestnut, who return to lead the Jayhawks in the 200-meter and 100-meter breaststroke. Chestnut cut through the water last year, posting a 100-meter time of 54.83, while Artis recorded last year's 200-meter team best with a time of 2:04.06.
What kind of new talent can the Jayhawks look to? In reference to the freshman team members, the coach said, "In our program, you have to prove yourself before you're bragged about. If you want to know who the next leaders of this team are, you'll have to come see me in March after the championships."
