Kansas has been more than just efficient in all aspects of its game this season; it has been disciplined. The Jayhawks are tied for second nationally with an average of only 3.67 penalties per game. Iowa State is currently first in the nation, averaging 3.33 per game, and Wake Forest is tied with Kansas for second. The shortage of false-start and delay-of-game penalties could be because of sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing’s command of the offense, offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said.

K-State game sold out

According to the Kansas State Athletics Department, the Oct. 6 Sunflower Showdown between Kansas and Kansas State is now sold out. The official game time and television availability will be announced next Monday.

National attention

Junior cornerback Aqib Talib’s strong play through the first three games of the season has earned him some attention from national media. Rivals.com moved Talib to the top of its defensive back power rankings after recording six tackles and one interception against Toledo last week. Kansas offensive coordinator Ed Warinner also earned inclusion in the Web site’s rankings — he is ranked No. 20 in the offensive coach category.

Focusing on Florida International

Kansas’s opponent this week, Florida International, may be in the middle of a 15-game losing streak, but the Jayhawks are not taking the game lightly. “They’re a different team this year than they have been in the past,” junior defensive end Russell Brorsen said. “If you watch them on film, it doesn’t match up with their stats. They’re very disciplined and very fast.” Florida International’s losing streak is currently the longest of any Division I Football Bowl Subdivision team.
