Kansas running back race becomes clearer

August 14, 2012

Kansas coach Charlie Weis gives JUCO Taylor Cox a "slight edge" over Brandon Bourbon in the battle for the team's second running back job for the early season. Anthony Pierson is the #1 guy while James Sims sits out the first three games due to suspension. 

So, once everyone is unsuspended, it looks like Sims, Pierson, Cox and Bourbon, with Sims far and away the leader.
