Player of the Week
Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford won co-Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against Southeastern Louisiana. Herford returned three kicks for 149 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown return that gave Kansas a 9-0 lead. So far this season, Herford’s kick return numbers are impressive enough to stack up well against the nation’s best. His average of 41.25 yards per return ranks third in the nation, and as a team, Kansas is first in the nation in yards per kick return. The touchdown return on Saturday was the first of Herford’s career.
Up next
In a teleconference on Monday, coach Mark Mangino said Kansas would spend time focusing on Toledo’s offense in the days leading up to Saturday’s game. Mangino said Toledo running back Jalen Parmele was the key to the Rockets’ offense. The 222-pound senior averages 3.5 yards per carry through two games and has scored one touchdown. In Toledo’s home victory against Kansas last season, Parmele ran for 80 yards and the game-winning touchdown.
Jayhawks fly high
At this point in the season, Kansas stands near the top of the nation in many statistical categories. The Jayhawks’ average of 57 points per game is third in the nation and the team’s 519.5 yards per game average ranks 10th nationally. Individually, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing is ninth in the nation in passing efficiency and senior wide receiver Marcus Henry is ranked 12th in the nation in receiving yards per game. Kansas has not received such high marks in one notable category — strength of schedule. According to USA Today’s Sagarin Rankings, which use a formula similar to the BCS computer rankings, Kansas’ first two opponents were the easiest played by any Big 12 team.
