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

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.

poll
1 ex as is the No. 1 ;eam in the nation, according to
the Sept. 10 issue of Sfxjrts lllii'AroU.'d (SI).
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.

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.
