doiu oris j Once-beaten Kansas seeks second Big 8 win To put it mildly, Kansas' 28 27 loss to Tennessee .vjs a bitter blow, hut ".vc- can't let one defeat have that much effect on us" according to Don Baker, sjxjrts information director for the Kansas Jayhawks. "Unfortunately, the T onr.essec- game was still on our minds when we pby-o Kansas State," he said. "Although our execution w is good, and we won the S3" 25-18, we ju.u v.;.:;i't there psychologically and notion jlly. " However, aj,.-i;ist Nebraska Baker is sure the Jj!w.ks will be r.;c,(iy to give their best effort. "I 'n' sure everyone v.il! be lornemljering last year," he s..id. In 1U72, Nebuiika 'raveled to Lawrence and beat toe Jayhawko Offensively, Kansas will run out of a pro-set and try to establish a balanced offense against the Huskers, he said. "So far this year, ue have established a balanced offen.e in every game except Tennessee," he said. "And ay.iinst Tennessee, it v'.as ridiculous to do anything but p.. ', " Jay hawk quarterback David Jaynes completed 35 of 58 passes for 394 yards and two touchdowns against the Volunteers. J ay nes is the i: inference's leading passer, completing 79 of 140 p.i-.v.s for 905 yards. He has thrown only one interception and has eight touchdown passes to his credit. "Many schools have a great passer, but not great receivers," Baker said. "Kansas is fortunate because we have a great quarterback and great receivers." Kansas receivers are split end Emmett Edwards and flanker Bruce Adams. Edwards is the conference's third leading receiver with 19 catches for 304 yards, and Adams is the fourth leading receiver with 19 catches for 268 yards and six touchdowns. Running backs for the Jayhawks are tailback Delvin Williams and fullback Robert Miller. Williams is the conference's seventh leading rusher with 462 yards in 93 carries, and Miller has 161 yards in 33 carries. "At the start of the year, our offensive line was our big question mark," Baker said. "But against Tennessee, Jaynes was sacked only twice, and the line was never called for holding." Defensively, the Jayhawks will be in a 5-2-4 alignment, he said. "Everyone talks about our potent offense, but our defense is our No. 1 improvement," he said. Right end Dean Zook and right tackle Fedro Dillon lead the Kansas defensive I inc.0 The two have combined tor 41 unlisted tackles and a total of 70 tackle;. "Our defensive Imi' is extremely strong," Baker said. "Tovirnn h own't been able to run on us, so they have to p -s in order to move the ball." Pasinu agairr-t Kansas this year hasn't been too successful. Their junior linebackers, Steve Towle and Dean Baiid, have combined for 29 unassisted tackles and 53 total tackles. The Jayhawk defensive secondary has intercepted 15 passes. "Kan',:;:;' 0 ,; r.: ' e-e v e secondary is our biggest defensive e-ptoeenajn!," laaker said. "Although it is you'-up-K. ."!-.!. . '.tenting three sophomores and a senior in t'ir s..v.oi.d;iry --they are tied with the Umve'sity of Souihci'i California for the most inu rci.pt. onu by u team in the country." Kansas' leoord is 4 1. Except for the Jayhawks' loss to T m nes.ee, trvy have beaten Washington State (29 8i. Flo-id., State (23 0), Minnesota (34-19) and Kansas Stat :. ' he'n Nebraska end Kansas clash tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. in IVknci ial Stadium, it will be the 79th meeting of the t,vo schools. Nebraska holds a 55-21-3 margin in ih" '.erics. Husker freshmen to face Oklahoma Monday after first loss since 1 969 (.1! By Dave McBride Nebiask.j's fre"hn.,,ii 'no thai I team, coming off its fiist loss since 1000, will travel to Oklahoma Monday in hopes the night sM- of Norman will be friendlier than the rainy ; kjes '.it Colunibw, Mo. The Husker frosh, who had a 15 game win streak snupped by the f-.l; eei i h . -.! ion n last Friday, take to the marl for the ihiid lime in . i ow. It will mark the first time Nebraska and Oklahoma freshman teams have met, according to Husker frosh coach Jim Ross. Hum information the coaching staff has, Ross said lie- thinks the Soom.-i bosh die 2 0. "I heatd they hi at Tulsa 51 0," he said, "and they beat Arkansas by something like 35-7. They have a fine freshman team. They'ie big rtnd fast, and they'll be a tough opponent. " Ross admitted his l-lusl-er squad has had some problems offensively in a 10 victory over Kansas State and the 24 22 ios to the Tigers. "The defense has done a po'tty good job," he said. "They'll have to du ii good jo!; down there (Norman), too, or we're m tiuuMe. Of Icosively, we haven't been real pleased. "This is a pretty good freshman team. We've aot some spots where we feel we'll be able to help the 4 if, 4 - $ . . : . . . . . ..i . . i . t vdrsiiy nexi year anu some spois wnere we re not as , i , , y deep as we'd like to be. This is not a great freshman i " team, but it s a good team. He said no major changes are planned for Monday night's game, but some players will continue to be alternated between positions. "We had no real problems," he said of the Missouri loss. "They had a good freshman loam, and they beat us by two points. We're going to do the same thing we've been doing and just hope we can do it a little better." The Oklahoma game will be the last road test for the frosh. They return home for games against Colorado Nov. 2 and Iowa State Nov. 9. Husker frosh two-deeps: 4 ' r yl - s. - "si 1 . ff " . . a, M ' s Offense TE.

Now that the college football season is half over, I thought it woul l ! interesting to see how accurate Si's college football top 10 preseason poll is compaM'd to thi. M-.'.-k'', Associated Press' (AP) top 10. This week's AP top five are Ohio State, Alabama, Oklahoma, Michigan and Penn State. Si's preseason top five were Texas, University of Southern California (USC), Penn State, Michigan and Alabama. Compoiison shows the SI predictors were fairly close except 'or 'la h choice of Texas. In f;ct, the Longhorns have turnul into the laugher of college foot hall alter losing to Miami of Ha. (2015) arid Okhhomj (S2 13). AP's next five te,.ae, :U: USC, Missouri, Notre Loui.i.,i..i St.i'e uM-f Tennessee. Si's poll had Ohio S. to te', No tie 0 u-. Aiiona State, ColoiaiJo and UCL A i, fiiked sivth tin aimli teotfi. Again the SI pickers didn't do too badly as they have those traditional football powers like Notre Dame and Michigan in the top 10 whether they belong there or not. Unfortunately, Si's poll and AP'scurtent rankings almost agree on Nebraska's position. AP has Nebraska ranked 11th, and SI picked the Huskers 12lh. At least for now, SI can complement themselves on doing a fair job on their preseason college football rankings. h X IN bennet is Eighteenth-ranked Kansas and Nebraska will meet tomorrow with identical 4-1 records. However, the Huskers have a lot more on the line than does Kansas. After its loss to Missouri, Nebraska needs an impressive win over the Jayhawks to improve their conference raokm'! and to step back into the Nation's top 10.
