More attention for Talib

Junior cornerback Aqib Talib is one of the 15 finalists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. The award is given to the best all-around player in the nation and is based on the votes of Division-I coaches and sports information directors. Talib leads the Big 12 Conference in passes defended, has intercepted four passes and has 48 tackles this season. As a part-time wide receiver, Talib has eight catches with an average of 22.8 yards per reception. The only other Big 12 player nominated for the award is Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel.

Injury update: Resby day-to-day

Kansas coach Mark Mangino said that junior safety Patrick Resby was practicing this week and that his status for Saturday’s game against Iowa State was day-to-day. Resby did not play last week against Oklahoma State after starting the first nine games of the season. Sophomore safety Justin Thornton filled in for Resby and made three tackles.
