New-look Jayhawks led by Weis finally take field
DAVE SKRETTA,AP Sports Writer
• LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- All the bluster is over for Charlie Weis.
• He won the opening press conference, quickly endearing himself to a skeptical fan base at Kansas. He turned over most of the coaching staff and reworked a team that won two games a year ago, making all the right moves and saying all the right things every step of the way.
• Now, it's time to see whether the new-look Jayhawks led by the former Notre Dame coach have made progress in the short time that Weis has been at the helm.
• Kansas opens its season Saturday night against South Dakota State.
• "I'm really excited for our team, to see how they are going to play, more than anything else," Weis said. "We have been talking about this stuff forever. Now it's time to play and get an opportunity to see where we are."
• Just about anywhere would be better than where Kansas finished last season.
• The Jayhawks started off with a pair of wins against McNeese State and Northern Illinois, a team that would eventually win 11 games. But Kansas followed that with 10 straight losses, allowing at least 60 points three times and getting shut out by Texas along the way.
