is worried about from Iowa State's offense. In last season's 50-47 victory against the Cyclones, the Kansas defense allowed 516 vards of offense.
Iowa State junior quarterback Bob Utter was responsible for 249 yards of total offense in that game.
Despite leading in rushing with 232 yards, Iowa State coach Jim Walden said he is worried about Utter's health.
Utter suffered two concussions last season, and was limited to only seven games. Walden said if Utter suffered another concussion, that the quarterback's career would likely be over.
Walden has good reason to worry about the health of Utter since freshman walk-on Jeff St. Clair is Iowa State's back up quarterback. Walden also remembers Iowa State's last visit to Lawrence in 1991 when injuries forced him to play four quarterbacks in the 41-0 defeat to Kansas.
"That game started our bad trend with quarterbacks that we can't get stopped." Walden said.
Iowa State has used seven quarterbacks since the start of the 1991 season.

Special team's Brew helping return game
The Associated Press
While the Kansas Jayhawks haven't reached the standard they did last year when they earned a trip to the Aloha Bowl, one department is vastly improved — their return game.
Credit goes largely to sophomore cornerback/kick returner/punt returner Dorian Brew.
Brew got his first dose of college football last year as a true freshman. He stepped into the
John Paul Fogel/KANSAN
starting lineup in the final regular season game against Missouri and in the Aloha Bowl.
Dorlan Brew
And while he's played well this year as the Jahyahws' third cornerback, his biggest contribution has been on special teams. Brew averages 13.9 yards per punt return, seventh best in the nation. That compares with the
Jayhawks' team average of 7.7 yards per punt return a year ago.
Brew said there has been better execution on punts this year.
"I just try to follow my blocks and let the blockers dictate," said the 5-10, 190-pound native of Florissant. Mo.
"I feel like I bring good speed to the team," Brew said. "And I'm also probably one of the best on the team at covering receivers ...
"I really think my cover skills have improved," he said. "Last year, I really needed more mental preparation coming in and playing as a freshman. But I feel like I've really matured a lot since last season."
"Dorian has really helped us," he said. "His speed and ability to fly to the ball have been impressive. He's just one of several young players (in the defensive backfield) that have had to step up for us, and they have."
COMEBACK: Jayhawk's dreams became ISU coach's nightmares
Kansas defensive backs coach Mark Dantonio has been impressed with Brew's development.

Mason said. "It's because of T-E-A-M. Nothing else."
The games had three major swings in momentum. Kansas jumped out to a 21-7 lead after the first quarter, but Iowa State retaliated with 40 consecutive points to take a 47-21 lead late in the third quarter.
Senior quarterback Chip Hilleary directed the Jayhawks' comeback in the final 17 minutes with a 17-yard touchdown run and touchdown passes to Dwayne Chandler and Matt Gay.
But it was linebacker Larry Thiel's 37-yard fumble return with 6:07 remaining that put the Jayhawks up 48-47. Maurice Douglas' two-point conversion run after the touchdown made the score 50-47.
Iowa State coach Jim Walden said after the game that Kansas
stayed opportunistic throughout the entire game.
"I feel bad, but all you can do is say, 'Nice job Kansas,' " Walden said.
One year later, the game still brings back bad memories for Walden.
"It was one of the most crushing losses I've ever had," Walden said. "They went through 16 minutes of magic moments, and my dream turned into one hell of a nightmare."
Kansas sophomore running back L.T. Levine did not play in last season's game at Iowa State. He said he thought the game was over in the third quarter when Kansas trailed by 26 points, but he also remembered the great comeback of the Jayhawks.
"It was spectacular to see something like that happen," Levine said.
Banned fumblerooski thins Cyclones' playbook
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Jim Thompson still smiles when he thinks about the touchdown he scored on a fumblerooiski last year.
The memory of it will have to suffice, however, because the offensive guard from Iowa State will never get a chance to do it again.
The NCAA this year outlawed the fumbleroski, a trick play that often led to an offensive lineman's dream — scoring a touchdown. It was too difficult to officiate, the rules committee decided.
Phooey, says Iowa State coach Jim Walden, who complains that the change has robbed college football of an exciting play.
"We've got seven of them out there.
How can it be hard to officiate? The
"A fan is paying $20 to see a game. You shouldn't take something that's fun for him out of the game and say it's hard to officiate," Walden said. "Everything is supposed to be hard to officiate."
fumbleroski was a play for 100 years when we only had three guys."
On the fumberlooski, a play popularized by Nebraska, the quarterback takes the center snap and immediately puts the ball on the ground. The offense then acts as if it's running a play to one side or the other and when the defense follows, a guard picks the ball up and starts running to the opposite side.
If the fakes are carried out properly and the defense bites, the guard usually has a clear path to the end zone.
That's what happened for Thompson when he scored on a 25-yard run against Kansas last year. The field was so clear that the 6-foot-4, 266-pounder could have moon-walked to the end zone.
"It did kind of bummed me out when I heard about that," Thompson said of the ban on the play. "I guess there was a lot of controversy. When you look on the game film on my fumbleroooski, I thought my knee could have been down. It's one of those iffy plays that they thought they had to get rid of.
"I was glad to score a touchdown, though. It's something a lineman doesn't get to dovery much."
It also has given Thompson something to hold over roommate Dan Dostal, a tight end who has yet to score a touchdown for the Cyclones.
"I still talk about that a lot. It really gets to him," Thompson said, laughing. "Dan'll get a touchdown some day — I hope."
Walden hasn't accepted the change as easily as Thompson. To him, outlawing the rule was a slap in the face.
"You know how many years Nebraska ran that play?" he said. "As long as Nebraska was doing it, it was legitimate. As soon as I did it, they threw it out.
Walden said he can't see what makes the play difficult to officiate, because a team that planned to run it had to first tell the officials.
"We had to go up and say, 'Mr. Official, we're going to run a fumblerooski,'" Walden said. "All the guy had to do was stand there and watch that offensive guard and if his knee's on
the ground, blow it dead."
But there's more to it than that, said John McClintock, a Des Moines lawyer and supervisor of football officials for the Big Eight.
McClintock said the officials had to make sure the center completed the snap to the quarterback and didn't just put the ball back down on the ground himself. And when the quarterback puts the ball on the ground, is it a pass or a fumble?
"The official has got to see it, and it happens so quick that it's a very difficult thing unless he's right down there in the position where the guard is — next to the center," McClintock said.
The entertainment value aside, Walden said taking trick plays out of the game hurts teams like his because they have one less weapon to use against the powerhouse teams.
"We need to work on something that helps beat the mighty," he said. "David slew Goliath, but if he missed with that one rock, he was in trouble. We've got to have more ammunition than that one rock."
