No one is out to organize Kale Pick's early coronation as next year's starter, but I could've sworn that I heard a collective sigh of relief in Memorial Stadium when he completed his first pass during the fourth quarter of KU's home opener last Saturday.

Everyone from my dorm neighbors to the guys who sat behind me in church on Sunday is happy to see that maybe Pick really can be Todd Reesing's backup.

Sure, he's been listed as the big reliever on the two-deep for a while now, but I don't think any Jayhawk was sold on him right away. 

I guess what I'm saying is that if, hypothetically, the KU-Nebraska game and Big 12 North Crown were both on the line and Reesing went down, who would really step up?
