Steven Sims has already started to notice a change when it comes to the KU quarterbacks.

“Once Miles (Kendrick) came in those guys (Peyton Bender, Carter Stanley), they’ve taken on the competition, they’ve taken it head on,” Sims said.

Sure enough, the quarterbacks aren’t the only ones hoping to show improvement.

Sims, who will be returning for his senior season, said his personal goals include putting on some weight to be able to endure more hits.

A team goal, however?

“We’re tired of losing,” Sims said. “So everybody’s coming to work competitive.”
