It will be interesting to see who emerges as the top rushing attack as the season progresses.

I assume this rating includes the addition of Dylan Edwards.

According to the title this includes only running backs and not quarterbacks.

most of this stuff is not qualified by any sort of numerical analytics but rather is little more than opinion based click bait. it's fun to read and debate if you will. but it has little value other than consuming bandwidth.

On3's ranking of head coaches. Liepold is ranked higher than Klieman. So is Utah coach and Gundy.
Liepold? Really? Naw?

I have not read the problems KU is going to face of not having home games this year. They will not be able to practice at either Sporting or Arrowhead. Your guess is as good as mine on the size of the crowds. How many students are going to get up at 6:00 AM to make it to a 11:00 AM kick at Arrowhead and pay $38 for parking? I could see crowds less than 30,000 at Arrowhead where the top deck is closed off.

yep, andy kotelnicki's offense was like trying to catch a heard of jackrabbits on an open pasture. he was an excellent play-caller and his schemes were devilish. it was surprising to me that ku let him get away to penn state. but k-state lost ck to aTm as well. so there's that.

anyway, how much his replacement, jeff grimes, a failed baylor coordinator, adjusts and changes things will be interesting to watch unfold. grimes came to baylor from byu.

In my opinion, K….nicki is a bigger loss to ku than Klein is to ksu. Utah State’s offense when Matt Wells was there with qb Chucky Keaton was really good- I expect the same out of KSU’s offense
