When that battered, the real hope for Kansas victories idly watch as the passing game screws something else up.
Weis said he changed a lot between his time at Notre Dame and being hired at Kansas last winter. There won't be a better time to see if that's true on Saturday at Northern Illinois. The Huskies gave up 486 rushing yards to Army last weekend.
In its first road test of the season and looking for its first road victory in over three calendar years, Kansas could benefit from a game with limited possessions while they control the game on the ground.
It remains to be seen if Weis will trust the running backs over Christ.

CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN
Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree leaps into a spike shot while two Creighton players attempt to block Wednesday evening. The Jayhawks defeated Creighton 3-2.
Creighton outblocked Kansas 20-10, but middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and outside hitter Catherine Carmichael teamed for a block late in the fifth set, giving Kansas an 11-9 lead and letting the Bluejays know the Jayhawks refused to lose on their home court.
"I think the whole energy changed," jarmoc said. "The celebration after the kill or a point won for Kansas, it was just a lot more energy, and communication was up during rallies."
the jayhawks would have none of that.
Sburred by Jarmco and Carmichael's block, Kansas won the fifth and final set 15-13, raising its record to 12-2 and giving Becchard his 950th career victory.
"That's part of who they are," Beachard said. "We spent some time working on it in practice, but it's tough to simulate that in practice when you've got somebody like Megan Bober over there trying to pull that off in a match."
But Creighton never trailed in the third set, and the score was tied only twice, as Creighton won the set 25-21. The Bluejays' setter, Megan Bober, frequently hit the ball over the net on Creighton's second hit, instead of setting it to a hitter for a third hit. Bechard said the Jayhawks expected that play, but that it was still tough to defend.
"I've been coaching a long time
It would have been the jayhaws most impressive sweep of the year so far because the Bluejays entered the match with a 10-1 record, and their only loss was to Kansas State.
The Jayhawks begin Big 12 play this Saturday at 6 p.m. in Lubbock, Texas, against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Jarmoc said the Jayhawks are motivated after finishing last season 3-13 in conference play and their team motto for conference play is "Dream Crush."
I was proud of him, the decisions she made late," Beard said. "Because when it gets pressure, sometimes you make the simple or cautious move, and she took some risks and got the ball to some hitters in good situations."
"We're just going to be going into Texas raging pretty much," Jarmoc said. "That's how it's going to go."
