Self says Mason’s minutes don’t figure to go down as KU season progresses
“I don’t see it changing if we are going to have a really good year,” Self added of Mason’s minutes. “Granted in a perfect world you want to play guys 30 minutes a game. I understand that. It’s not a perfect world for us from a what-our-team-needs standpoint."

“Coach Beaty’s been great to me,” Willis said. “Sometimes the ball doesn’t fall your way. As a quarterback, it’s kind of the nature of the beast. We bounce around more than any other position.

It gave me some confidence back.”
