"We've had some quarterbacks back there who had time to read the newspaper and have a cup of coffee before throwing the ball," he said. "I think we need improvement in the secondary. Don't get me wrong. But the best pass defense is a good pass rush."

“We have simplified some progressions and reads,” Mangino said. “We’re going to just put him in a situation where he has a couple of quick reads and an outlet. We won’t get into progression three, four or five. It’s futile. It doesn’t fit our personnel. It doesn’t fit my way of thinking, and it doesn’t fit Ed Warinner’s way of thinking.”

Perhaps to most intriguing is Maxwell Onyegbule, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound freshman moving from linebacker to defensive end.
“He has really looked good at that position, based on a few practices we had prior to bowl selection,” Mangino said.
--Other moves include Olaitan Oguntodu from  safety to linebacker, Sal Capra from linebacker to offensive guard and Raymond Brown from cornerback to wide receiver. Running back D’Marcus Lang and cornerback Mike McCoy are no longer are on KU’s roster.
