#43: At least 10 of the 12 teams in the Big 12 will throw for over 3,000 yards. Last year 9 of them accomplished this feat (Iowa State, Colorado, and Baylor not throwing for that many).
At least 5 of the 12 will throw for over 4,000 yards. Kansas will join the teams that throw for over 4,000 yards. I wouldn't be surprised to see Iowa State jump from the 2,000 to the 4,000 club as well. Tom Herman's teams at Rice (he is Iowa State's new offensive coordinator, coming from the same position at Rice) threw for over 4,000 on a consistent basis. Mizzou might not make it into the club this year with everything that they lost, including QB Chase Daniel, WR Jeremy Maclin, TE Coffman, and their offensive coordinator. 4 Big 12 teams were in the 4,000 yard club last year (Tech, OU, Mizzou, and Texas).
I agree that KU will get 4000 yards this year. QB Todd Reesing will tear it up this year. WR Dezmon Briscoe and Reesing connected often last year and will continue to be a dynamic duo. Briscoe set school records in 2008 with 1,407 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also ranked 4th in the NCAA with 108.23 receiving yards per game. Add Briscoe's stats with Reesing's NCAA ranking in passing yards (7th with 299.08) the Jayhawks will for sure hit 4000 if they continue to connect.
