Cole Ballard, Jim Zebrowski pinpoint biggest focuses for Ballard during first full offseason with KU
Cole Ballard’s true freshman season wasn’t supposed to go the way it eventually unfolded. Even after winning the third-string quarterback spot while still a walk-on, his chances of seeing important snaps behind two veterans in Jalon Daniels and Jason Bean were small. But with Daniels’ going down with a back injury and Bean a head injury, Ballard was forced into action in two games against Texas Tech and a start against K-State. He kept KU in both games despite two losses but showed flashes of his ability. With a full offseason in progress, multiple areas of his play became targets for improvement.

Alienating regular working-class Americans in an appeal to his fervent base seems to be Donald Trump’s raison d’etre, so we’ll have to wait until November to see if it actually works.
