GAME NOTES: For just the second time this season, the 15th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks hit the road, as they travel to Boulder to take on the Colorado Buffaloes in Big 12 play at Folsom Stadium. At a perfect 6-0, the Jayhawks are one of six remaining unbeaten teams at the FBS level, as they are off to their best start since opening the 1995 season 7-0. Dating back to last season, Kansas has won nine of its last 10 games and that includes a convincing 58-10 triumph over Baylor last weekend. With that win, the Jayhawks improved to 2-0 in league play, marking their best start since posting the same record in 1997. Kansas, already bowl eligible for the third straight year, now heads away from home, having posted a 30-24 victory at Kansas State in its lone road game this season. As for Colorado, it played at Kansas State last weekend, but it was on the short end of a 47-20 setback. The loss brought the team's three- game win streak to a close and dropped it to 4-3 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12. The Buffaloes however, now return home, where they have gone 3-1 this season and that includes a 27-24 upset of nationally-ranked Oklahoma on September 29th. Colorado leads the all-time series with Kansas, 41-22-3, but the Jayhawks snapped a five-game losing streak to the Buffaloes with a 20-15 victory in Lawrence last season.

The Jayhawks surprisingly, possess one of the top offensive units in the nation, as they rank second in scoring (50.3 ppg) and seventh in total yards (515.8 ypg). The team is well balanced between the run (218.8 ypg) and pass (297.0 ypg), and it has committed just nine turnovers in six games. Last weekend, Kansas rolled up 447 yards of total offense, including 236 on the ground, in a route of Baylor. Jake Sharp paced the ground attack with 110 yards and a score on 18 carries, while Brandon McAnderson added 53 yards and touchdown on 10 totes. The duo has done a good job for the Jayhawks this season, as they have combined for 959 yards and 12 touchdowns. Quarterback Todd Reesing also turned in a solid performance last weekend, completing 14- of-31 throws for 186 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The versatile gunslinger has done a good job avoiding mistakes (four interceptions) this season and he also thrown for 1,652 yards and 16 touchdowns. He is even dangerous outside of the pocket, rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown. Marcus Henry has been a big play target for Reesing, as he leads the team with 471 receiving yards for the year.

The Jayhawks' defense has been every bit as good as the offense this season, ranking second in the nation in scoring defense (9.5 ppg) and fourth in total defense (240.0 ypg). The unit has been almost impossible to run against, surrendering just 80.0 ypg and tow touchdowns on the ground. The team has also had success against the passing, picking off 12 throws and allowing just four touchdowns through the air. Last weekend, Kansas put forth another tremendous effort on defense, as it limited Baylor to just 202 total yards, including only 48 on the ground. The defense also came up with a few big plays, forcing five turnovers, with four coming on interceptions. Joe Mortensen logged eight tackles in the game, and he currently leads the team with 55 stops and 11.5 TFLs.

The Buffaloes aren't anywhere near as explosive as Kansas is, but they have done a decent job averaging 26.1 ppg and 384.1 total ypg. The offense however, has trouble avoiding mistakes and it has already turned the ball over 18 times. Last weekend, Colorado racked up 411 yards of total offense, but committed four turnovers in a 47-20 loss to Kansas State. Hugh Charles though, was a bright spot for the Buffaloes, as he rushed for a career-high 171 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. It was a great effort from Charles, who has missed some time this season, but still leads the team with 522 rushing yards behind a 6.1 yard per carry average. Quarterback Cody Hawkins however, didn't fare as well last weekend, completing only 19-of-41 pass attempts for 223 yards, with three interceptions and just one touchdown. Hawkins, a redshirt freshman, has struggled with consistency this season, as he has thrown 12 interceptions compared to 11 touchdowns. His favorite target is clearly Scotty McKnight, who leads the club with 31 catches and 374 receiving yards. He pulled down six balls for 63 yards in a losing cause last weekend.

On the defensive side of things, Colorado has done a solid job in holding its foes to 330.1 total ypg, although the 24.4 ppg it is allowing could use some improvement. Creating turnovers is another area that could stand some improvement, as the Buffaloes have forced just 10 thus far. Last weekend, Colorado didn't generate a single turnover while allowing Kansas State to rack up 463 yards of total offense. The team gave up 249 of those yards on the ground and that was a big surprise considering the Buffaloes are allowing only 122.3 ypg on the ground this season. Jordon Dizon paced the defense in defeat with nine tackles and he leads the Big 12 with 97 stops for the season.

Kansas is on a roll and it should be able to continue its winning ways with another solid performance on both sides of the ball.
