"If he ends up being there for a while, I'm sure there'll be things that he's more comfortable with than other plays or something that Jalon runs or something,” Leipold said. Now, that doesn’t mean something won’t change over time. But what we're doing is to continue to do what we can to be as multiple as possible. "Well, you're always going to tweak to somebody's strengths. Both Lance Leipold and offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki said as much this week. So I think I think that's the biggest thing.”īut don’t expect KU to completely alter the playbook to account for Bean’s skill set. “I think when you're confident and playing at the quarterback position you can do pretty much whatever you want. I think my confidence level in knowing the offense and knowing where guys are supposed to be and being able to put guys in the right spot, I think is the biggest thing for me,” Bean said. The Oklahoma game will be a different opportunity for the senior, as he’s now set to lead an offense he has a much better understanding of now than he did 365 days ago when he was preparing to take on Texas Tech. It’s also not fair to Bean to extrapolate his performance on Saturday over four quarters and have that be the exception. The quarterback was facing a unique circumstance. If Bean is the starter as is expected, he’ll be leading a team that is 6-3 since he last started a game.īut as Bean and KU coaches would probably argue, it’s not fair to Bean to draw conclusions based on last season. Yet now it appears the offense will be Bean’s to lead this weekend, as Daniels was named “doubtful” by Lance Leipold. I think that's a major part of it and the success that I had on Saturday." “I feel like I am the starter and trying to compete with Jalon every single day and making sure that he's at the top of his game. "I think it's a credit to how I've been preparing each week,” Bean said. He credits his approach for his ability to step in and perform. He led the KU offense to 28 points in the second half, while completing 16 of his 24 passes for 262 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. When Daniels went out in the second quarter of KU’s 38-31 loss to TCU on Saturday, Bean immediately stepped in and led the offense to an explosive second half. Well, Bean was ready when his number was called. "I think that's just the thing for me, just making sure I'm ready whenever I have to go in.” “I’m trying to be the guy each and every day, competing with Jalon," Bean said. He continued to compete and the coaches were very impressed with his level of play, declaring he was playing the best football during his time as a Jayhawk during camp.Įvery day that Bean showed up to the Anderson Family Football Complex between January and September, the quarterback had one focus. At the beginning of KU’s preseason camp in 2022, Lance Leipold stated he expected Daniels to start. Over the offseason, Daniels was projected to keep hold of the starting job. Over the final three games of the season, Daniels led KU to a competitive finish, including a win over Texas. On the ground, he carried the ball 91 times for 399 yards and two scores.Īgainst Kansas State, bean suffered an injury that knocked him out one week, giving Jalon Danielsan opportunity to start. KU had an overall record of 1-8 with the North Texas transfer as the signal caller and the quarterback completed 56.4 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and six interceptions. Bean did his best considering the circumstances.
#On a clear day lead sheet install#
He led an offense that didn’t have a full offseason to install Andy Kotelnicki’s scheme and was one of the youngest units in the entire Power 5.
But from the quarterback’s perspective, nothing has changed in the way he approaches his role on the football team.īean was KU’s starter for the first nine games of the 2021 season.
A lot has changed since Jason Bean last started a game for KU football.
