Free State head coach Kevin Stewart remembers being perplexed the first time he saw film of running back Tyler Bowden.
At the time, which was two years ago, Stewart was preparing for the state championship game as the defensive coordinator for Blue Valley North. He was watching film on Derby, which had beat Free State in the 6A quarterfinals two weeks earlier.
Bowden, who was a freshman, piled up 88 yards and ...
It really stood out to Kansas quarterback Carter Stanley when he rewatched the tape from the Big 12 opener.
In the loss to West Virginia, KU only had the ball for 55 snaps and that was largely due to the team’s inability to change things up on first down. It forced the Jayhawks into unfavorable down-and-distance situations, which prevented them from sustaining any sort of rhythm on drives.

Free State’s volleyball team picked up a pair of wins at Shawnee Mission West Tuesday night.
The Firebirds swept both of their opponents, taking down Shawnee Mission West (25-17, 25-14) and Olathe West (25-17, 25-14) on the night to stay on a roll. FSHS (16-9) has now won eight of its previous 10 matches.
Many athletes have fueled this recent run by the Firebirds. For the season, senior Kaitlyn Hamilton ...

Neal then followed things up with a strong ...
It was a bit of déjà vu for the Kansas football team.
KU’s offense was nonexistent in another trip to Fort Worth, Texas during its 51-14 loss to TCU Saturday afternoon at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The Jayhawks fell in a 38-0 hole and never recovered, falling to 2-3 (0-2 Big 12) on the year.
In 2017, the Jayhawks managed just 21 total yards in a 43-0 road loss to the Horned Frogs. While the offense performed ...
Best bet: Oregon State (+4.5) vs. Stanford
Stanford (1-3) is off to its worst start to a season since 2007. The Beavers are coming off a bye week and should have a good crowd in their conference opener. Oregon State running back Jermar Jefferson should be back after running for 270 yards on 47 attempts in the first two games. Stanford, meanwhile, has injury concerns at quarterback and its offensive line.
