LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Among all the changes that have taken place at Kansas since Les Miles was hired to resurrect the moribund football program, the easiest to notice is the title of the spring game.

It’s called “Late Night Under the Lights.”

Might as well try to channel whatever you can from your powerhouse basketball program.

The “Late Night in the Phog” each September the annual tipoff of yet another basketball season full of expectations. The event Saturday night in Memorial Stadium represents much more: It is the start of what Miles hopes is a new era for Kansas football.

“The adjustment, the culture and what we want to do, they’re ready,” said Miles, who was hired at the end of last season to replace the fired David Beaty. “We’re pleased. We have work to do, we’re not done, but we sure are pleased with the effort.”
