Washington recovering released from hospital
INJURY UPDATE
Kansas senior linebacker Eric Washington was released from a Kansas City, Mo., area hospital during the weekend after being admitted late last week for what a source called "precautionary reasons."
St. Luke's Hospital staff confirmed Saturday morning that Washington had been released, but were not able to say when.
After Saturday's game against Texas A&M, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Washington would visit a head and neck sports injury specialist in Oklahoma.
"He's doing pretty good," he said. "He's doing much, much better."
Washington suffered a concussion and temporary paralysis after a hit in last week's game at Nebraska. The senior linebacker was taken off the field on a stretcher and regained feeling in his extremities on the drive to the hospital. He was kept at a Lincoln-area hospital until Monday of last week for observation.

Big 12 Rankings
Missouri won its game and some respect in the second installment of the Big 12 power rankings. On the flip side, Colorado fell to 0-6 after a triple overtime home loss. As voter Shawn Shroyer asked, "Colorado lost to Baylor ... are they the worst team now?" Voters disagreed on where to place Kansas which got votes ranging from seven to 10. Here's the consensus:
1. Texas
2. Nebraska
3. Missouri
4. Oklahoma
5. Texas Tech
6. Texas A&M
7. Iowa State
8. Baylor
9. Kansas
10. Kansas State
11. Oklahoma State
12. Colorado

had a third-and-one and the opportunity to get four more plays. Mangino, though, was uncomfortable doing anything but giving the ball to Cornish. Kansas' running back got the call and tried to plow his way through the middle of the offensive line.
No luck. Texas A&M's defense was right there to stop Cornish well short of the first down.
The Jayhawks punted the ball back to the Aggies, who drove down the field and scored the game-winning touchdown with less than 35 seconds left to play.
Mangino said fear of a turnover
"We haven't taken care of the ball at the quarterback position, so we didn't want to take a chance," he said.
With just six games left, including five against teams with winning records, the Jayhawks have no time to mope about their missed chances in close games this season.
"This team is too good to let us get this down," Cornish said. "This team will bounce back — even if we lose 70-0 like we did last year against Texas. We came back and won against Iowa State and went to a bowl. Remember? We still have a whole season ahead of us. We'll be fine."

Football Notes:
Injuries piling up
excuses, but he hinted that injuries left his team unprepared for Saturday's game. Mangino said at least four to five offensive starters missed significant practice time last week because of undisclosed injuries. Sophomore wide receiver Marcus Herford appeared to be one those injured players: he watched most of the game from the sideline. Cornish also confirmed that he played hurt.
Mangino isn't one for making
Freshman defensive back Darrell Stuckey made his first appearance of the season. Stuckey had sat out the first five games with an undisclosed injury.
