TV in the Argus on Kline's first start today at Kansas:
http://www.argusleader.com/article/2...e-start-Kansas
LAWRENCE, KAN. — It seems wrong at this point to call South Dakota State vs. Kansas a guarantee game – there are far too many unknowns.
Things got even murkier Friday when coach John Stiegelmeier said after a rainy walk-through that standout quarterback and team captain Austin Sumner would not play or be in uniform tonight due to a throwing-hand injury sustained last week at practice. Instead, redshirt freshman Eric Kline will get the start, making his college debut in 50,071-seat Memorial Stadium against a Kansas club that has new coaches, fresh schemes and five transfers in its starting lineup.
...
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Twin Cities native has been outwardly relaxed throughout the week, even as those surrounding him slowly switched into game mode. That’s one of the things the coaches like about him – his leadership and energy.
I like Kline...he was recruited for a reason; he was the top Minneosta quarterback playing against big-school competition every week. Wish we had the more experienced Sumner but this is a classic setup for a breakout game that gets the Jacks excited (and stuns the Jayhawks).
