Football Team Good; Not That Good

So KU is 4-0 again and with games coming up against Iowa State and Colorado, we could be 6-0 heading into a showdown with Oklahoma. Todd has completed 2/3 of his passes, thrown for 9 TDs and has over a 150 QB rating. Toben Opurum has 6 TD runs, and he and Jake Sharp are averaging 4.6 and 5.7 yards respectively. Kerry Meier and Jake Sharp each have 3 TD catches. Kansas is 4th in the league in scoring, and 2nd in the Big 12 in rushing, which is amazing.

The defense has put up good numbers, but there are some questions. The secondary outside of Darrell Stuckey and Daymond  Patterson has been very average. Even more troubling: the play of the offensive line. Starting a redshirt freshman at left tackle probably doesn't help, but Tanner Hawkinson hasn't been that bad. Jeff Spikes has not been very good and the other offensive linemen have, in my opinion, not protected Reesing like they will need to to win some shootouts in the Big 12.

With the defense giving up 18 points to Southern Miss, one can only imagine how many points the offense will need to put up to have a chance against Texas.
