There's not enough evidence yet to declare that the defense has arrived, but evidence thus far is promising.
Minnesota's Jerry Kill has worked hard to embrace his epilepsy, becoming an outspoken advocate for research of the condition that can include seizures without a moment's notice.
POWER RANKINGS: Week 4
1. Oklahoma State: Following an eventful week, Cowboys take care of business in front of nearly 60,000 loyal fans.
2. Oklahoma: Mike Stoops' defense looks like it could have a bit of a bite. But beware, more dangerous opponents loom.
3. Baylor: This isn't a pass-happy offense. It has 99 runs, 53 pass attempts through first two games.
4. Texas Tech: Red Raiders may be 7-0 when they play at OU on Oct. 26. A kind schedule stretch awaits.
5. Kansas State: Wildcats have won seven of nine - and five straight - meetings with Texas.
6. TCU: Nearly a week later, no doubt that Horned Frogs fans are still trying to figure out calls against them at Texas Tech.
7. West Virginia: Quarterback Ford Childress lit up Georgia State in debut. He gets a shot at Maryland this weekend.
8. Texas: It has been 57 years since the Longhorns have started a season 1-3. That season, Texas finished 1-9.
9. Kansas: Following a setback to Rice for second year in a row, Charlie Weis has lost 16 straight games to FBS opponents.
10. Iowa State: Cyclones drop in-state rivalry game to Iowa. Are those basketballs being dribbled at Hilton Coliseum?
Best game of the week
K-State at Texas, 7 p.m., KTUL-8: Best may not be the best word for this matchup. “Intriguing” perhaps
works better. Can Kansas State beat Mack Brown for the sixth time in a row? Will Texas fans show up
for this game? Just how bad can things get for Texas?
Worst game of the week
La. Tech at Kansas, 11 a.m., FS1-67: Two coaches — Charlie Weis (Kansas) and Skip Holtz (Louisiana
Tech) — with links to Notre Dame. Both teams are struggling so much that the losing coach will have
a fan base roaring against them for dropping a game to their opponent.
