Pick won the starting quarterback job after a training camp competition between him and Jordan Webb. Pick lost his starting job to Webb after the season-opening loss against North Dakota State.
"It was obviously a shock when they told me. I wasn't expecting it. On Tuesday's practice I got in there and made a few plays and got my feet wet. The more reps I took, I felt more confident and more comfortable
feel for the game at their new positions was important to both players. McDougal said it took a little while to get used to being out there, but by the second or third drive, he was where he needed to be.
On Monday Turner Gill talked to Pick about making the switch. On Tuesday he went with it.
Pick is unsure whether or not this move will be permanent. He will take time this offseason and figure out what he wants to do. McDougall is fairly confident he has found a new home at safety.
"It definitely gave me confidence. I got my feet wet right at the start," Pick said.
The Jahawks debuted two players at new positions Saturday against Oklahoma State. Bradley McDougald moved from receiver to safety and Kale Pick switched from quarterback to receiver.
Against Oklahoma State at the receiver position he had two catches.
in the position," Pick said.
"I would much rather be out there and try and make plays for our team and give us a chance to win, than be on the sideline," Pick said.
"He came out and did a pretty good job. They are throwing a lot at him so I'm definitely back there saying, 'Hey, do this do this and making sure he gets in the right spot," defensive back Chris Harris said.
McDougall spent some time at safety last season, and recorded five tackles and one interception. He tied for second on the team recording eight tackles (six of them solo tackles).
"I probably feel like this will be my last move. I feel like if I have any chance of going to the next level it's going to be on the defensive side of the ball so I want to stay here," McDougal said.

Pick is already known for being an athletic quarterback. Last season he rushed for 167 yards on 14 carries.

his hands, or Omigie's crucial on third down, the third quarter was 15 minutes of missed opportunities for the Jayhawks. They caught Oklahoma State
on an off-day for whatever reason, but were unable to make them pay for their mistakes.
"Other teams have been coming out with a lot of corrections and making a lot of good plays (after halftime)," senior cornerback Chris Harris told reporters. "We had a couple of stops in the third quarter, we just have to put points on the board."
Third quarters have been no blessing for Kansas this season, getting outscored by a combined 63 points through 11 games. And the trend continued Saturday.

"We definitely had some confidence coming in and we came out and just kind of lost focus a bit," Meam said. "Their defense made some adjustments and it just didn't come out our way."
Excluding the New Mexico State game, every week this year — even the wins — have been a struggle for the Jayhawks. Injuries haven't helped. Streaky quarterback play hasn't helped. Neither has lack of execution or timely penalties. A new
nulty penalties. A new coaching staff certainly hasn't helped either. Whatever the problems have been, Harris hopes the returning players will continue to develop going into next season.
"Hopefully they learn from this and work real hard in the offseason and come back next year," he said. "It is definitely a learning experience, it's good that they can learn from this and be ready for the future."
