LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) There has been turnover in nearly every aspect of the Kansas football program over the past year, from the coaching staff to the roster to the way the entire operation is run.

Three new captains will attempt to lead the Jayhawks out of the fog.

Defensive lineman Ben Goodman, quarterback Montell Cozart and defensive back Fish Smithson were elected to lead the Jayhawks, who open the season on Saturday against South Dakota State. The trio will be joined by a rotating fourth captain that is chosen each week.
