LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – New coach, new quarterback, new attitude – and the same kind of early season loss to a middling opponent that got Turner Gill fired last season.
Now, it’s up to Charlie Weis, Dayne Crist and everyone else in the Kansas program to prove these aren’t the same old Jayhawks – that their late-game collapse Saturday against Rice isn’t a precursor of struggles yet to come, beginning this weekend against No. 16 TCU.
Crist almost bristled Tuesday when he was asked whether the program is different now than it has been. The quarterback who transferred from Notre Dame for the spring semester said the “football culture” has changed and that things are different from years past.
