For the second straight season, Kansas coach Charlie Weis has taken the reins from a highly touted transfer quarterback and handed them to an unproven but more mobile signal-caller. The Jayhawks thought they had found their quarterback for the next two seasons when Jake Heaps arrived from BYU, and he still may win back the starting job next season as a senior. After Heaps proved underwhelming in nine games as a starter, bottoming out with a 16-yard passing performance in a loss to Oklahoma, Weis gave freshman Montell Cozart a chance to become the quarterback of the future at Kansas (3-8, 1-7 Big 12), starting him the past couple games. ''The much bigger step is taking it from the practice field to the game field because you've got to execute with a bunch of people in the crowd.'' Weis hasn't said who will start Saturday against Kansas State (6-5, 4-4), which has played two quarterbacks - Daniel Sams and Jake Waters - all season.
