Kansas Press Conference

[don]

Stay tuned.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

only person to blame was me. We gave up 41 points. we had some kids out that we didn't know we were going to have out. I was too aggressive.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

I've been here a long time and I've never thrown anyone under the bus. Cumbie wants to be a head coach and needs to answer questions when you lose a game you were not supposed to lose.

 

[don]

Week 4. Jayhawks. I have a nephew that plays in Lawrence.

Max after looking at film? #1 the only person to blame was me. i was too aggressive to stop the run. Kicking the FG, we had the wind, but he had only been good to 42 since injury last year.

You got to win. I never said anything about SC. I have never thrown anyone under the bus. He does want to become a HC. You should come in after losing one you should have won.

We are going to have to get people healthy. We better get ready to play. We have a lot of younger guys.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

Mike is healthy. He understands the offense.

 

[don]

Mike Collins has gotten himself healthy. Thought last 2 drives, he got better. less thinking.

 

[don]

Collins - not dropback, very athletic. foot has to stay healthy.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

It doesn't matter what we want to do. We have to do what they are good at and give ourselves an opportunity

 

[don]

Max 1-10 first half? no interceptions. We are 2-1. Not going to win many with 3 turnovers in first half. We fought back. I put guys in arms way on D.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

I put guys in harms way on the defense. Vernon not playing was a big deal. may not even practice today.

 

[Peacefrog]

Could someone ask him how he feels about climate change?

 

[don]

Julius - questionable.

Taye - not sure he will play.

WE have to get guys back to throw the football.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

Les is a good guy and good coach. good motivator.

 

[don]

pooka? they have good wrs. 2 tailbacks. Les good guy, good coach. Good motivator. They always seem to play us well.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

have older players stepped up this week?
I don't know - yesterday we had off.
I didn't see as much fire (asI expected) after getting beat.

 

[don]

Didn't see as much fire and we got beat. All a maturation period.

Coy - smart, tough kid.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

WIsh we had a 100 Coys

 

[Ryann Zeller]

Defensive ends are playing average. they dont have a sack yet.

 

[don]

Have to grow up and get healthy. Injured guys need to get healthy, others need to push through. Goal is to give seniors best year they can.

Our DEs - average so far, they have to keep getting better.

 

[Ryann Zeller]

not sure if pass offense will be better. we'll see.
Gary was surprised about "the way" we got beat.

That game is stressful for Gary more so than any game the rest of the year.
