Carter Stanley, while taking two steps forward, began to realize how bad of an idea this might be.
The Kansas starting quarterback — 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds — was about to pick an on-field fight with Oklahoma State’s 299-pound defensive tackle Trey Carter.
“Their biggest dude on defense,” Stanley said with a smile. “I was like, ‘Geez, here we go.’”
After throwing a screen pass to teammate Steven Sims last week, Stanley didn’t expect to be a part of the play. Then Sims cut back toward Stanley, who realized he might be able to help by throwing a block.
