Carter Stanley's mobility is his biggest advantage over fellow Kansas quarterback Peyton Bender, so it stands to reason that Stanley will play the majority of the snaps, if not all of them, given KU's opponent Saturday at its homecoming game. Oklahoma State leads the nation with 19 sacks, three more than Alabama, Boston College and Clemson, all tied for second. Defensive end Jordan Brailford, a preseason ...
The evening’s biggest shocker came when the final buzzer sounded on the Late Night scrimmage and one of the quietest players in recent Kansas basketball history took the court with microphone in hand. And then Lagerald Vick thanked the crowd for coming. Public speaking is outside of Vick’s comfort zone, but there really won’t be any comfort zone for him in his final season.

I bring whatever I can to help the team to have an impact on the game.” Kansas coach Bill Self himself couldn’t have written a better job description for a ...
Carter Stanley’s nameplate was on an empty table in the front of the Gridiron Room, where select Kansas football players do media interviews every Tuesday afternoon. The empty table reserved for Peyton Bender was tucked in the left corner of the room. Neither player ever showed, a sure sign that something’s brewing at quarterback. It was eerily similar to when Stanley broke a bone in his hand before last ...
