Kansas Jayhawks Face Uncertain 1987 Quarterback Battle
Kansas coach Bob Valesente enters his second season amid a two quarterback shuffle led by Donohoe and Orth. Injuries and last year’s pass heavy scheme left the line weak and results poor, with Orth throwing 12 picks to 7 TDs and Donohoe posting 48 of 87 for 432 yards. Valesente promises a balanced attack with two backs and added play action, plus Gary Huff in as offensive coordinator. He aims for improvement though KU remains a long shot in 1987.
