University of Kansas Athletics - Jayhawks Talk About Homecoming Match-up with Longhorns
Kansas football players senior DL Keon Stowers, senior WR Justin McCay, sophomore QB Montell Cozart, senior CB/KR JaCorey Shepherd and senior LB Ben Heeney discuss Saturday's matchup with the Texas Longhorns.
Jayhawks must find way to solve Longhorns’ defense | KUsports.com
Earlier this week, Weis said UT’s athleticism advantage — particularly along the defensive line — gives the Longhorns the ability to play their base defense with a single safety and roll up coverage to the line to take away some of the short passes that Cozart had success with last week. Cozart knows that’s coming. And, because of the game plan the KU coaches have installed this week, he feels good about the Jayhawks’ chances to counter it with shots down the field and discipline and patience.

Eleven different Longhorns have recorded a sack – compared with just four for Kansas — and defensive tackle Malcom Brown, whom KU coach Charlie Weis called one of the best players he's seen, period, leads the way with 3.5 sacks.

Kansas: Tony Pierson has recorded 280 touches on offense in his career at Kansas. He's gained 10 or more yards on 25 percent of his touches and picked up 20-plus yards on 26 of those 70 plays. The majority of his big plays have come on rushes, but Pierson is also averaging 12.7 yards per reception in his four seasons. He's instant offense, plain and simple. (Mr. Ed says: We HAVE to get this guy the ball! Five touches a game isn't enough.)
KU linebacker makes presence felt | CJOnline.com
To hear KU coaches and players tell it, Love, the 6-foot, 220-pounder from Tonkawa, Okla., always has been a playmaker. It’s just that some of his best plays often go unnoticed from the outside looking in. So when Love made consecutive stops on two screen passes and added a sack in the fourth quarter of last week’s win against Central Michigan, everyone in the stadium took notice.
KU coaches look for next step from QB Montell Cozart | CJOnline.com
Through three games, the athletic QB has netted just 21 rushing yards. He’s looked uncomfortable on the option — KU fumbled one pitch and had another ball on the ground ruled an incomplete pass against CMU — and also in the read option, where he’s been hesitant to keep the ball himself.

Lane Kiffin, Bama genius? Saban ain't buying it, and neither am I - CBSSports.com
Saban pulled a Saban and refused to play along. He was asked Tuesday if he'd given Kiffin "more latitude to open things up." The question continued, something about putting the ball into the hands of Alabama's playmakers, but Saban was already shaking his head and saying "no" and "not at all." Because Lane Kiffin isn't the genius behind Alabama's offense.
