Four bowl games in a six-year span, six wins in four-straight seasons ( ) for the first time since , bowl games in consecutive seasons (2007 and 2008) for the first time in school history, at least eight wins in consecutive seasons (2007 and 2008) for the first time since 1908 and 1909, 20 wins in a two-year period (2007 and 2008) for the most wins in consecutive seasons, and season home attendance average records in four straight years are just some of the recent accomplishments of KU football. Mangino s eighth Kansas team will return 42 lettermen, including 18 starters. An explosive offense, featuring three of the nation s top skill position players in quarterback Todd Reesing and wide receivers Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier, should make for a fun football team to watch. Defensively, the Jayhawks return seven starters, including 2008 All-Big 12 First Team selection Darrell Stuckey, another national honors candidate. A number of players gained valuable experience on that side of the football and should improve the Jayhawks this season. Returning one of the nation s top quarterbacks, two of the country s best receivers and one of the Big 12 Conference s leading rushers, Kansas should continue to boast one of the NCAA s top offensive units as it has in the past two seasons. The Jayhawks return 18 lettermen, including eight starters, on the offensive side of the ball. In 2008 KU established a school passing yardage average record at yards per game, while posting the second-best total offense mark (432.38) and thirdbest scoring average (33.38) in school history. Those figures ranked eighth, 21st and 22nd, respectively, in the NCAA, a year after KU was in the top five in each of those categories. Behind quarterback Todd Reesing, who will be in his third year as a starter with a 20-6 record, the Jayhawk offense should once again be one of the country s finest. A two-time Davey O Brien Award semifinalist, Reesing already owns a number of school career records and the top two season marks in a number of categories. He will have two of the country s best receivers to throw to in Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier. Both members of the duo caught at least 90 passes and produced more than 1,000 receiving yards last season. In 2008 Meier tied for sixth in the NCAA with 97 receptions, which he turned into 1,045 yards and eight touchdowns, while Briscoe was fourth in the country in yards at 1,407 while adding a schoolrecord 15 touchdowns on his 92 catches. Emerging as the featured running back ahead of Big 12 Conference play, Jake Sharp became a reliable runner and receiver out of the backfield. He rushed for 100-plus yards in three games, including 181 vs. Kansas State. He also became the first running back in school history to record 100 receiving yards in a single game with 107 vs. Iowa State. On the year he averaged 66.2 rushing yards per game, with an 88.8 rushing average in Big 12 Conference games. Up front the Jayhawks return two talented tackles in sophomores Jeremiah Hatch and Jeff Spikes and have depth with the experience Ben Lueken gained as a freshman last year as well. KU will need to replace the three interior positions on the line, including 2008 All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selections Ryan Cantrell and Adrian Mayes and two-year starter Chet Hartley. The Jayhawks special teams returns its placekicker, punter and snapper. KU faced one of the nation s most difficult schedules in 2008 and will once again face a formidable task in Six upcoming opponents played in bowl games last season and the 11 FBS opponents were a combined a year ago.

Gone are All-Big 12 honorable mention selections Ryan Cantrell and Adrian Mayes, along with twoyear starter Chet Hartley. Hatch and Spikes started all season as redshirt freshmen in 2008 and both earned Freshman All-America recognition. They should anchor a line, which will need a facelift inside. Brad Thorson could take over the center position, while Sal Capra, Carl Wilson, John Williams and Trevor Marrongelli are candidates for the guard positions. Ian Wolfe and Ben Lueken have seen action as backups at tackle during their careers.

Briscoe was fourth in yards and tied for 15th in receptions nationally, while Meier tied for sixth in receptions and 32nd in yards. Johnathan Wilson was the third receiver last year and pulled in 43 passes for 573 yards and three touchdowns. KU will need to replace three-year starter Dexton Fields, who had 20 catches for 214 yards and three touchdowns last year as a senior.

The senior rushed 186 times for 860 yards and 12 touchdowns, while also providing another option in the passing game with 25 catches for 283 yards and a score last season. Sharp recorded three 100-yard games in 2008, including a 181-yard, four-touchdown game against Kansas State. Jocques Crawford rushed 62 times for 232 yards and four touchdowns in his first year after transferring from junior college. Drew Dudley has been moved from linebacker to the offensive side of the ball and will play fullback. KU moved Angus Quigley, who rushed 59 times for 309 yards and three touchdowns last season, to linebacker for the spring.

Reesing owns more than 30 school records including career passing yards, season passing yards and career passing touchdowns. As a junior in 2008, he completed a school-record 66.5 percent of his passes for a school-record 3,888 yards and 32 touchdowns (one shy of his school mark). He enters 2009 with a 20-6 record as a starter and should once again be one of the nation s top signal callers in his final year. Backing up Reesing are starting wide receiver Kerry Meier and redshirt freshman Kale Pick. Meier, who was the starting quarterback as a freshman in 2006, started at wide receiver last season. He was three of three passing, but did not play a single down at the position in For his career, Meier is 132 of 216 for 1,542 yards with 17 touchdowns. Pick redshirted his first season at Kansas, but gained experience steering the scout team and earning KU Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year honors.

The trio of James Holt (2008 All-Big 12 Second Team), Joe Mortensen (2007 All-Big 12 Second Team) and Mike Rivera (three-time All-Big 12 Honorable Mention) started a combined 103 games and recorded 821 tackles during their All-Big 12 recognized careers. In addition, all three led the Jayhawks in tackles during one of their seasons in Lawrence. Phillip Strozier started the last half of the season at free safety, while Chris Harris, a starter at corner for a year a half, was the nickel back for the final half of the year. The front line is paced by defensive tackle Caleb Blakesley and defensive end Jake Laptad, who both earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention accolades last season. Jamal Greene and Richard Johnson both started games in 2008, while Max Onyegbule was a major contributor.

Johnson had 14 tackles and earned Freshman All-America honors. Darius Parish saw time in the interior as a true freshman a year ago and should contribute in On the ends, Jake Laptad was another All-Big 12 honorable mention selection in He registered 38 tackles, tops among the KU defensive linemen, while finishing second on the team in tackles for loss (8.5) and sacks (seven). Threeyear starter Russell Brorsen is gone from the other side. Look for veterans Max Onyegbule (17 tackles) and Jeff Wheeler (five tackles in three starts in 2008) to compete for that spot. Dustin Spears was the KU Scout Team Defensive Player of the Year in However, seven starters do return to a unit which ranked fourth in the league in rushing defense and third in pass efficiency defense. Among the returnees are All-Big 12 First Team selection Darrell Stuckey. The safety had a tremendous junior season registering 98 tackles, while picking off five passes and breaking up seven. His leadership was invaluable a year ago as the Jayhawks revamped their secondary in the last half of the year. Among the returnees in the defensive backfield are cornerbacks Justin Thornton and Daymond Patterson. Thornton started the first half of the year at free safety before moving outside, while Patterson was a wide receiver, who started two games offensively during the first part of the year, before starting at corner for the last five games.

40 2009 KANSAS SPRING FOOTBALL -- Page 38 Mark Mangino (Youngstown State, 1987) Head Coach 8th Year at Kansas In seven years at the University of Kansas, head coach Mark Mangino has taken the Jayhawks to heights never reached before in the program s history. Last season s trip to the Insight Bowl helped the Jayhawks set even more program firsts. Among a number of accomplishments, the 2007 consensus national coach of the year has guided the Jayhawks to: Four bowl games in a six-year span (2003-present). That represents one-third of KU s bowl appearances in just six years (eight bowl games in the previous 56 years since KU s first bowl game in 1948). Bowl games in consecutive years (2007 and 2008) for the first time in school history. Three consecutive bowl victories for the first time in school history. Eight wins in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1908 and Twenty wins in a two-year period, the most in consecutive years in school history (won 18 in and ). Six wins in four straight seasons ( ) for the first time since Combined record in the last four years for the most wins in a four-year period in KU history topping the 32-6 mark from Set home attendance average records in each of the last four years. Returned to the national polls in 2007, the Jayhawks first ranking since Were ranked in a school-record 19 consecutive Associated Press polls from 2007 through half of The Mangino Family: Tommy, daughter-in-law Danielle, son-in-law David, Samantha, granddaughter Gabriella, Mary Jane (with Yogi), and Mark. Mangino did all of this after taking over a program which had not posted a winning record in any of the six seasons prior to his arrival. Already he has become the third-winningest coach in school history with 45 victories, including 33 in the last four years. He has led KU to more bowl games (four) than any previous Jayhawk coach, while his 3-1 bowl-game mark gives him the most bowl wins at the school. His players have been recognized not only on the field of play with 73 earning All-Big 12 honors, but 45 Jayhawks have been named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team as well. In 2007 KU had two players earn First Team and one Second Team All-America honor by the Associated Press. After that season, four Jayhawks were drafted by NFL teams. Under his guidance, KU has produced the top three total offense seasons in school history, the top two passing seasons and two of the top three scoring seasons. Defensively, his teams have produced the top three rushing defenses in school history. In addition the 2007 team led the nation in turnover margin at plus 1.62 per game. In Jayhawks were named to All-Big 12 teams, including first-team selection Darrell Stuckey and second-team picks Dezmon Briscoe and James Holt. Twelve players earned Academic All-Big 12 recognition and several players were named to national award watch lists with many named as semifinalists or finalists for those awards. Prior to his arrival in Lawrence, Mangino was one of the primary architects in the rebuilding process at both Oklahoma ( ) and Kansas State ( ). As assistant head coach and offensive coordinator under Bob Stoops at OU, Mangino and the Sooner staff took a program that was 5-6 in 1998 and carved out seasons of 7-5 (1999), 13-0 (2000) and 10-2 (2001).

41 2009 KANSAS SPRING FOOTBALL -- Page 39 Overall, Kansas State and Oklahoma were a combined and ranked in the top 25 nationally in eight of 11 seasons during Mangino s involvement on the coaching staffs. Prior to his stint at Kansas State, Mangino worked one season as head football coach at Ellwood City (Pa.) High School. He spent three seasons ( ) as offensive line coach and as offensive coordinator at Geneva (Pa.) College, where he helped that program to its three best seasons (combined 24-9) in modern school history. The 1987 Geneva squad reached the NAIA national semifinals. Mangino also coached two seasons ( ) at Youngstown State, including one under current Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel. He was an assistant coach at his alma mater, New Castle (Pa.) High School, for four seasons. Mangino and his wife, Mary Jane, have a daughter, Samantha, a graduate of the University of Kansas, and a son, Tommy, who is a graduate assistant with the KU football program. Tommy and his wife Danielle, as well as Samantha and her husband, David Hardy, reside in Lawrence. Samantha and David are the parents of Mangino s granddaughter, Gabriella. Both Coach Mangino and his wife Mary Jane are very involved in the community donating time and resources to a number of organizations. Mangino was the recipient of the 2000 Frank Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in college football in the second of his three seasons as assistant head coach/offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Oklahoma. Throughout his career, Mangino has been associated with football programs which have experienced phenomenal success and has been a key ingredient in building that success. He has been in a leadership role with teams that have qualified for bowl games in 12 of the last 15 years, including the 2000 season when the Sooners won the Big 12 Conference championship, finished ranked number one nationally and beat Florida State in the Orange Bowl to win the national title. During its run to the national championship in 2000, Mangino s Sooner offense ranked seventh nationally in scoring (39.0) and 13th in pass offense (294.7). In addition, OU averaged more than 427 yards per game in total offense for the second consecutive season. Under the influence of Mangino as offensive coordinator, the Sooners ranked second in the conference in pass offense at the conclusion of both the 2000 and 2001 seasons.
