Kansas quarterback Jason Bean was a gametime decision against Kansas State. He was seen warming up before the game, and there was uncertainty about his status. Cole Ballard took first team reps during warmups, and eventually started in place of the injured Jason Bean. Kansas announced Jason Bean as the starting quarterback during pregame festivities, but Cole Ballard ended up starting for the Jayhawks.
And it's Cole Ballard who ends up getting the start for Kansas.
