Notebook: Homecoming for Houston coach; Leipold opines on rule changes

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas owed some portion of its attendance figure at GEHA Field Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday to the friends and family of the opposing head coach. “I’m worried about tickets this week,” Houston coach Willie Fritz joked, later adding, “I’ll be helping them out with the crowd a little bit.” Fritz made those sorts of comments because he was expecting plenty of friends and family ...
