Game balls & Gassers
Candidates for Game balls
¢ Jake Sharp, for the second week in a row, showed Kansas does have a running game after all, gaining 118 yards and rushing for three touchdowns.
¢ Jake Laptad tackled Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins for a safety and then made the safety sign, putting his hands together above his head.
¢ Kerry Meier limped his way to 94 yards on nine receptions and sprinted away from any injury talk afterward.
Candidates for Gassers
¢ Marcus Herford, though not to blame for the entire breakdown of the unit, continued his rough senior season, averaging 13 yards per kickoff return.
¢ Daymond Patterson had a rough time returning punts and was replaced midgame by Fields. A freshman, Patterson has the talent to bounce back, but has hit the freshman wall.
