Most importantly, we are 5-0, maybe we shouldn't be but we are. With missery, wisconsin, auburn and one of LSU and Florida losing there will be less than 10 undefeated teams going into week 7, and KU is one of them.
Let's look at the culprits-
TR5-
Moved past Brad Smith for 6th in the Big 12 in passing yards and also passed Joel Klatt and Josh Freeman for 7th in the Big 12 in passing attempts.
Todd went over the 9,000 yard marker today by throwing for a career high of 442 yards and now has 9,157 for his career.
Todd's 4 TD passes give him 13 TD passes on the year and 81 for his career with a couple more solid performances like that he should he able to break 100. With 81 for his career he is currently tied with Eli Manning, Drew Brees and Heisman winner Jason White.
Briscoe-
with 12 receptions he now has 165 in his career, good enough to pass Mark Simmons for #1 all time in receptions. (for now)
Briscoe who already is the all time leader in TD receptions added 2 to his total.
Dez needed 33 yards to pass Willie Vaughn for most receiving yards all time at KU, he racked up 186 and now has 2,420 and no one is really even that close to him.
KM-
Set a KU record with 16 receptions against Iowa State,breaking the record he shared with Dez Briscoe.
The 16 catches also vaulted KM to first place in all time receptions with 167, 2 ahead of Briscoe. As I have stated previously, I would love for Kerry to win this battle.
KM now has 15 TD's in his converted career and with 2 more he'll be tied for second place and with 3 more he'll hold that spot all by his lonesome. He isn't catching Briscoe but that's okay.
In a stat that I have neglected and totally missed, KM is shooting up another record list at KU, total yards. KM through the Iowa State game has 3,820 total yards via passing, rushing and receiving this puts him 12 yards behind Bobby Douglas for 10th all time and 21 yards behind June Henley for 9th place.
With about another 200 yards he will pass Dylen Smith for 8th place all time and after that he's got a ways to go, but just another fantastic stat for KM.
D needs to get a lot better.

We won but we're playing like a team in the 25-35 range. Defensive line pressure is weak unless we blitz, LBs playing playing poorly, and the secondary does not gel as a unit at all - the lack of qb pressure is a big factor. And Bill Young >>> Clint Bowen.
3-4 conference losses looking likely the way we're playing now.

Agreed. I have to believe that some changes are coming with the D, likely at linebacker and hopefully removing Foster from the 3rd and long rush package and replacing him with a natural pass rusher in Quinton Woods.
The only other hope that the D has of being better is us getting back Jake Sharp.
The offense is limited without him because Opurum as good as he is, can not run outside.
there were a couple of drives that stalled out where I think Sharp could have kept them going.
But we will see, they need be ready to bring it against Colorado.
And until I see something different from the D, I think the goal of winning the North was a little bit wishful thinking.
Thankfully our D hasn't cost us a game we have no business losing, a la South Florida last year.
