DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Kansas coach Mark Mangino believes the struggles of the Jayhawks offense go far beyond the play of quarterback Todd Reesing.

Reesing was pulled late in Kansas' 42-21 loss at Texas Tech on Saturday, but Mangino says he'll start this week at Kansas State.

Mangino says Reesing wasn't getting great protection and he didn't want his quarterback take any more big hits. Mangino also says the entire offense was out of sync.

Mangino says the Jayhawks aren't running the ball well or protecting the quarterback, and that the receivers are dropping too many balls — all issues that have little to do with Reesing.

Pull up a stool and grab a cold one. Or maybe you'd like a glass of red wine. Good for your heart. Our proprietor, Mr. McClellan, doesn't come around Da Bar very often, but this has become one of those places where everyone knows your name and the discussions are civil, even silly at times.
