Who will take over the on-field leadership role on defense in place of Aqib Talib?
And how will the Jayhawks new two-back system work with Jake Sharp and Jocques Crawford?
"See us go out there and really put in all the hard work that we put in for a year now...you know, this started in January. I actually want to see it all come together and I just want to see, you know, us have fun out there," junior running back jake Sharp said. "That's what it's about. I wanna go out, I wanna have fun, you know, with Todd. Todd wants to have fun, that's why we play."
"I think it's one of the natural feelings about holding yourself to a higher standard and expecting more of yourself. I'm wondering if I'm going to get there fast enough, if I'll see this, if I'll see that, how'll I react to this, how'll I react to that," junior safety Darrell Stuckey said. "Just give me a minute to get myself mentally prepared to react and make everything natural and make the game come to me and not force anything upon myself that I shouldn't be doing."
The Jayhawks battle the Golden Panthers this Saturday in Lawrence.
