Monday, August 17, 1998 The University Daily Kansan Section B·Page 2 'Hawks to tackle new season Reading the media rush Zac Wegner answers reporters' questions. Wegner, a junior quarterback from Platte City, Mo., was responding to media inquiries during the KU Football Media Day on Aug. 10. Wegner is the only quarterback with any playing time or starting experience returning to the Jayhawk team this fall. He will have to read defenses and media blitzes as the starting quarterback for a team that surprised people last year but is picked to finish fifth in the Big 12 Conference North Division.

Wegner is the only returning quarterback with starting experience for the Jayhawks. Alexander is second on the depth chart, but experience will be a concern for the Jayhawks if anything happens to Wegner.

Bowles, sophomore David Winbush and senior Julius Bruce will compete for playing time in a runningback-by-committee rotation.

Dercher appeared in uniform with the rest of the team during the KU Football Media Day on Aug. 10. Photographers may not overly tire Dercher and the Kansas offensive line, but the rush by opposing defenses from Nebraska and Kansas State are sure to provide a greater challenge.
