“There’ve been eight and nine men in the box all year long,” said Benson, who is ninth all-time in rushing in NCAA Division I-A and can move into sixth place with 120 yards against Kansas Saturday. “We’ve been challenged, and we’ve produced.

Really!
The newest cliche is “halftime adjustments.” We’ll be hearing that for a few more years, I’m sure.
