NOTES
GLASS HALF FULL
GLASS HALF EMPTY
Sophomore kicker Nick Prolago preformed his duties well, putting the ball through the endzone for a touchback on the first kick of the game and sending the ball on average inside Rice's fiveyard line.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
The Jayhawks schedule will only get harder from here on out, especially with teams like Iowa State, which came up with a big road victory this weekend. If Kansas fans thought 2-10 was bad last year, the prospects of a 11-11 season could lead to the football team singing the Alma Matter to an empty student section on a regular basis.
Once again, Weis tried to start out the game with a deep throw. This time, he set up a pick play out of the Jayhawk formation. The concept is good when executed well, but has yet to lead to points. Why not instead start the game by playing to the offenses strength, which is

running, and allow that to set up the big pass.
Kansas will welcome TCU to the Big 12 next weekend. The Horned Frogs are two seasons removed from a Rose Bowl victory and will be the first of many ranked opponents the Jayhawks will face this season.
Senior receiver DJ. Beshears fumbled on his lone kickoff return and has disappeared in the passing game this year. The Jayhawks need him to have more of an impact if they want to upset a team in Big 12 play.
DELAY OF THE GAME
Tony Pierson continues to be the bright spot for the Kansas offense. Despite being more of a speed back, the sophomore managed to break tackles at the line of scrimmage and get into the second level on many of his runs. It looked at times like he just needed to make one more guy miss to find the endzone.

Oklahoma got off to a better start this week against Florida A&M, thanks to junior running back Damien Williams. Williams scored the first three touchdowns of the game to give the Sooners an early commanding lead. Oklahoma
rolled past the Rattlers with more than 600 yards from scrimmage.
NO. 17 TEXAS (2-0) VS NEW
MEXICO (1-1)
Texas 45 - New Mexico 0
This is the game Texas coach Mack Brown wanted from his players. Texas successfully secured the football and limited New Mexico's offense to six pass completions. If the Longhorns provide this kind of play when conference matches kickoff, Brown will be pleased.
NO. 18 OKLAHOMA STATE (1-1)
@ ARIZONA (2-0)
Arizona 59 - Oklahoma State 38
Oklahoma State and Arizona were in a shootout for three quarters with Arizona leading 37-31. But the Wildcats pulled away in the fourth quarter by shutting down the Cowboys and scoring 22 points to stun Oklahoma State, who put up 84 points the previous week.
NO. 20 TCU (1-0) VS GRAMBLING STATE (0-2)

TEXAS TECH (2-0) @ TEXAS
STATE (1-1)
Texas State couldn't find answer for senior quarterback Seth Doege. Doege's five touchdown passes were enough to give Texas Tech a win. Texas Tech's 405 yards of passing from three different quarterbacks helped them dominate and win their second game.
Texas Tech 58 - Texas State 10
