Ryan Willis was named Athlon Sports’ freshman of the week Monday following a 35-for-50, 330-yard performance in this past Saturday’s loss to Texas Tech.
The effort wasn’t enough, though, for Kansas coach David Beaty to definitively declare him as KU's starting quarterback.
“The way (Ryan) continues to handle himself on the sideline with our players and with the offensive side of the ball has been really impressive,” Beaty said during Monday’s Big 12 teleconference. “Now, whether or not he can continue to sustain that, that’s yet to be seen."
“It’s two games into it, so I’m not willing to say he is going to be the guy completely moving forward, but he’s doing a good job of making a great case for himself.
