Table set for Dayne Crist to go out in style

Morgantown, W.Va. — West Virginia ranks last in the nation in pass defense, allowing 346.2 yards per game. The Mountaineers have allowed 36 touchdown passes and have just eight interceptions. What makes those numbers look even worse is they don’t have to face their own high-octane offense.
The Kansas pass offense ranks 117th out of 124 with 151.5 yards per game, seven touchdown passes and 12 interceptions.
This is Dayne Crist’s last college game. So, might Charlie Weis have a number of plays ready for Crist to come off the bench and finish a career that fell far short of expectations with one of his most productive days? It’s possible, but if Crist doesn’t show a hot hand right away, KU will return to its running offense.
Remarkably, Kansas wide receivers don’t have a single touchdown reception all season. The seven TD catches: Tony Pierson two, Jimmay Mundine two, one apiece from Brandon Bourbon, Mike Ragone and James Sims.
Today’s bold prediction: Kansas will have two wide receiver TD receptions, both thrown by Crist, who won’t have a single turnover in his career finale.
