Former Notre Dame Quarterback Transfers To KU

Posted on

Dayne Crist has decided to transfer to Kansas, where the former Notre Dame quarterback will be reunited with coach Charlie Weis.

Crist announced his decision on Twitter on Thursday: “After a long & difficult decision making process, I’m incredibly excited to join the Kansas football team. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!”

Crist visited Kansas and Wisconsin before deciding on the Jayhawks, where Weis was hired to replace the fired Turner Gill. Weis recruited Crist to Notre Dame and was his coach for two years.

One of the country’s top recruits out of high school, Crist started the season as the Fighting Irish’s starting quarterback but was benched at halftime of the opener against South Florida. He played only a handful of snaps behind Tommy Rees the remainder of the season.

Crist has already graduated, so he’ll be eligible to play for Kansas immediately.

FHSU Men’s Basketball No. 9 in DII Rankings

Posted on

The Fort Hays State men’s basketball team moved up six spots in the latest set of national rankings, released on Tuesday night (Dec. 20). The Tigers move back into the Top 10 for the second time this year, this time at No. 9, their highest ranking of the season yet. Fort Hays State is 9-1 overall and resumes action on Monday, January 2 at Truman.

The Tigers benefitted from several teams in front of them in the polls losing last week, while they helped their cause by defeating previously unbeaten Northwest Missouri State this past Saturday. The Bearcats were receiving votes in the poll last week, but fell back off that list this week.

Missouri Southern, ranked No. 6 this week, and Fort Hays State continue to be the only representatives from the MIAA in the rankings. Only five teams in front of the Tigers remain undefeated on the season, but there are still four undefeated teams behind the Tigers in the polls. Metro State retained the No. 1 ranking this week at 10-0 overall, trailed by Southern Indiana, Lincoln Memorial, and Kentucky Wesleyan, which all are undefeated as well.

The next poll will be released on Tuesday, January 3, due to inactivity of schools throughout the holiday week.

Davidson Shocks No. 12 Kansas

Posted on
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Nick Cochran scored 21 points, including a clutch 3-pointer in the closing minutes, and Davidson shocked No. 12 Kansas 80-74 on Monday night to exact a little bit of revenge over an epic NCAA tournament loss three years ago.

JP Kuhlman added 15 points and De’Mon Brooks had 13 for the Wildcats (7-3), who led the final 23-plus minutes to knock off the defending Big 12 champs in their home away from home.

The Jayhawks (7-3) had won 13 of the 15 games they had played at the Sprint Center, about a 30-minute drive from their campus in Lawrence, including the last two Big 12 titles. The losses also came out of conference — to Syracuse and Massachusetts.

It was the first meeting between the schools since the NCAA regional final in 2008, when Stephen Curry led the Wildcats on an inspired postseason run. Kansas managed a 59-57 victory when a last-second shot by Davidson’s Jason Richards clanked off the rim, and the Jayhawks would go on to win the fifth national championship in school history.

Thomas Robinson had 21 points and 18 rebounds for the Jayhawks. Tyshawn Taylor came back from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee to get 15 points and seven assists, while Elijah Johnson finished with 15 points.

Kansas was coming off a win over No. 2 Ohio State and a lengthy break for final exams, though most of the game it looked as if they were still on break.

Davidson was clinging to a 68-65 lead with 1:31 left and the shot clock winding down when Cochran took a pass from well beyond the 3-point line, squared up to the rim and let go a shot that hit nothing but net. Taylor couldn’t match it at the other end, his 3 clanking off the front of the rim, and Davidson managed to seal it from the free throw line.

Both teams went through long scoreless droughts, dreadful shooting slumps and a mishmash of turnovers and missed opportunities that prevented the game from having any type of flow.

Kansas finished 25 of 62 from the field (40.3 percent), but just 6 of 23 from beyond the 3-point line. The Jayhawks were also 18 of 31 from the free throw line.

Bill Self’s crew must have figured it was in for a long night when they missed their first four shots and turned it over on their other possession. Davidson took advantage by running out to a 9-3 lead with 14:38 left in the half, forcing Self to call his second frustration timeout.

Kansas pulled within 15-13 later in the half before Davidson again stretched the lead, this time pulling ahead 23-15 after a basket by Brooks and consecutive 3’s by Jake Cohen and Tyler Kalinoski.

Johnson finally sparked the sleepy Jayhawks with a deep 3-pointer from the top of the key, starting a 13-0 run. Robinson converted a three-point play and added another free throw, Johnson hit another 3-pointer, and Connor Teahan’s 3 from the corner gave Kansas a 28-26 lead.

But the juxtaposition of Davidson’s veteran poise — four starters returned from last season’s team — with the inexperience of Kansas became evident. The Wildcats responded to adversity by scoring the next six points, and carried a 33-32 lead into halftime at a silenced Sprint Center.

It never got very loud in the second half.

Every time Kansas tried to go on a run, Davidson coach Bob McKillop was quick to call a timeout, and his veteran bunch managed to answer nearly every basket with one of their own, ultimately pulling out a victory that snapped a two-game losing streak in most impressive fashion.

Walker Clarke (184 pounds) and Dustin Dooley (141 pounds) each finished sixth in their respective weight classes, while Derek Koehn (157 pounds) finished seventh. Fort Hays State finished 15th out of 25 in the team competition.

Fort Hays State finished with 50.5 points. The Tigers were ninth after the first day of competition, but dropped six spots on day two. Newberry (S.C.) won the team competition with 117.0 points, edging Upper Iowa, which had 115.5.

No Tebow Time In Denver As Patriots Clinch AFC East

Posted on
Denver, CO – Tom Brady watched the resurgent Broncos score on their first three possessions, then led the Patriots to 27 straight points en route to a 41-23 victory to help New England clinch the AFC East for the ninth time in 11 years.

Brady threw for 320 yards with two touchdowns and ran in another score in the sixth straight win for New England (11-3), which trailed 16-7 early in the second quarter before taking control.

Aaron Hernandez had game-highs of nine receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown, and the Patriots’ defense overcame a slow start and an injury to Andre Carter to silence the streaking Broncos.

“We knew it was going to a 60-minute game,” Brady said. “I thought we played well for 60 minutes for the first time this season.”

Tim Tebow, the undeniable catalyst behind the Broncos’ 7-1 run, had two rushing TDs and threw for 194 yards on 11-of-22 passing.

But there was had no fourth-quarter magic that has become commonplace over the past two months in Denver (8-6), which still leads the AFC West by one game thanks to the Raiders losing to the Lions on Sunday.

The Broncos uncharacteristically started fast and ended with a thud.

They ran for 167 yards in the first quarter, with Tebow plowing in for a nine- yard touchdown and Lance Ball rumbling for a 32-yard TD.

Between the scores, Chad Ochocinco caught his first touchdown as a Patriot, hauling in a 33-yard pass down the left sideline. It was the former Bengals star’s only catch.

The Patriots punted on their second drive and had their sack leader, Carter, go down with a knee injury on the final play of the first quarter.

Matt Prater, who did not attempt an extra point on Denver’s first TD because of a bad snap, made a 26-yard field goal early in the second for a 16-7 edge.

The Patriots answered with a 12-play, 80-yard march capped by Hernandez bringing in a one-yard score with 8:43 remaining in the half.

The wheels started falling off for Denver from there. Ball fumbled on the first snap of the ensuing drive, and the Pats turned the turnover into the go-ahead points via Stephen Gostkowski’s 21-yard field goal.

Mark Anderson then stripped Tebow while he was running the option and recovered the fumble at the Denver 40-yard line.

Brady completed a 25-yard pass to Hernandez on 4th-and-1 to keep the next
drive moving, then muscled into the end zone from a yard out with 1:12 showing.

Both teams quickly punted before the break, and Quan Cosby’s muff led to
Gostkowski’s 34-yard field goal on the half’s final play.

“We had things going pretty well early, but then we put it on the ground.
That’s something you can’t do against a great team,” Tebow said.

New England punted in enemy territory on the first possession of the second
half, but an eight-play, 85-yard drive later in the third essentially sealed the
outcome, as Danny Woodhead’s 10-yard run to paydirt in the final minute made it
34-16.

Not even Elvis Dumervil’s vicious sack of Brady early in the fourth, nor
Tebow’s two-yard touchdown run a little later sparked a comeback.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis accounted for the final score with a one-yard
plunge.

Kansas State Topples No. 23 Alabama

Kansas City, MO – Jordan Henriquez paced Kansas State with 17 points and eight rebounds as the Wildcats took down No. 23 Alabama, 71-58, at the Sprint Center.

Jamar Samuels added 14 points and Angel Rodriguez contributed 13 with seven assists for Kansas State (7-1), which has won two straight.

JaMychal Green notched game-highs of 20 points and nine rebounds for the Crimson Tide (8-3), losers in three of their last four games. Trevor Releford and Tony Mitchell added 14 and 10 points, respectively, in a losing effort.

“I thought Kansas State came out tonight in the second half and did a great job of attacking our pressure,” Alabama head coach Anthony Grant said. “They did a great job tonight.”

Alabama controlled the early action and held a 15-8 lead with a little over nine minutes left in the first half, but Kansas State scored 12 of the next 16 points to go ahead, 20-19, on Henriquez’s layup with 2:39 left before the half.

The Crimson Tide quickly took the lead back on a Trevor Lacey three-pointer, but the Wildcats ended the half on 6-2 run to take a 26-24 lead at the break.

The second half was not nearly as competitive, as Alabama made 42 percent of its shots but made just 1-of-11 attempts from beyond the arc, while Kansas State shot 63 percent from the floor, including a 2-for-3 mark from three- point range.

“Every time you play good defense it helps you on the offensive side,” said Rodriguez.

After a Green three-point play put the Crimson Tide ahead, 35-34, 5:49 into the second half, the Wildcats reeled off a 13-2 run to take a 47-37 lead with 10:55 left in the game.

Alabama would not get any closer than eight for the rest of the regulation as Kansas State led by as much as 16 on two separate occasions down the final stretch.

Whitehill, Kosjer Named Daktronics All-American

Posted on
(Photo/FHSU Athletics)

Fort Hays State linebacker Alex Whitehill has been named to the first-team and punter Ethan Kosjer to the second-team of the Daktronics Division II All-American football team. The McPherson senior is one of eight MIAA players named to the first team by the Division II sports information directors.

Whitehill finished the season leading NCAA Division II in tackles with 164, just five short of the Division II single-season record. However, he did set a new school record for tackles in a season, breaking the old mark of 150 set by Junior Hartig in 1979. He also set a new NCAA Division II record for assisted tackles in a season with 106, breaking the old mark of 105 set by Brian Holliday of Fayetteville State in 2002. Whitehill recorded at least 10 tackles in nine of 11 games this year and never had less than seven in a game. He had at least 20 tackles in a game three times this year.

Kosjer led the MIAA in punting average for the second straight season, this year at 44.4 yards per boot. Kosjer ended the season ranked third in NCAA Division II in punting average. He set new single-season and career records at FHSU for punting average. His 44.4 yards per kick this year eclipsed the old mark of 43.2 set by Adam Ryan in 2000 and his career average of 42.7 passed the mark of 41.4, also set by Ryan.

Weis Contract At Kansas Guarantees $2.5M Per Year

Posted on

 

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – Charlie Weis is guaranteed $2.5 million annually over the course of his five-year deal with Kansas, along with incentives that could push the total over $3 million.

A copy of the contract, which is dated Dec. 9, was obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.

Weis’ base salary is $230,000, though he is also in line for an additional $2.27 million in “professional services rendered,” which includes educational, promotional and public relations duties.
Last February, Weis signed a three-year deal worth $2.495 million to beFlorida’s offensive coordinator, including $765,000 in 2011.

The former Notre Dame coach agreed to take over the Jayhawks last week following the firing of Turner Gill, who was 5-19 in two seasons. Like Gill, Weis will be paid his contract in full if he is fired before the five-year term is complete.
