I Three players will fight for the starting
i quarterback position this fall, including
sophomores Adam Helm and Jonathan
Beasley along with junior college transfer
Michael Bishop.
“We’ll name a starter when we’re com
fortable with the right one,” Snyder said.
“All three of these youngsters are going to
have an opportunity.”

244 yards in the final two games while
throwing for 182.
“In our last five games last year,” Smith
said, “every week we thought (Jones) took
another step. The sky is the limit for him as
a quarterback. He’s worked hard at his
f mechanics. He sees a lot more of the field
now. It’s just a matter of settling in.”

JAYHAWKS from page 4
Vann said he is ready to follow
Henley, who averaged nearly 135
yards rushing a game in 1996. Vann
was the second-leading Jayhawk
rusher, averaging 16 yards a game.
“I’ve been trying to wait patient
ly,” Vann said. “It’s finally my goal,
I’m back to where I want to be.”
Allen said he thinks KU’s early
schedule will decide the Jayhawks’
entire season. Outside the confer

Kansas State opens the season Sept. 6 at

Bowling Green at home before traveling to
Nebraska to face the Cornhuskers Oct. 4.

“We’re going to take each game and

“We’re not the only teams falling short of
Nebraska and Colorado.”
test with a schedule that lacks an off-date.
Missouri opens the season Sept. 6 at home
against Eastern Michigan, then travels to
Kansas and Tulsa, Okla., before returning
home to play Ohio State.
“I think our schedule is challenging,”
Smith said. “I think it’s really important for
us to get some momentum going in our first
four games. The sky is the limit as far as
we’re concerned.”
ence, the Jayhawks will face
University of Alabama at
Birmingham, TCU and Cincinnati.
“Our schedule could lead us
either way,” Allen said.
Both players see Allen as a key
motivator.
“(Allen’s) more positive, a player
type coach,” Blevins said. “A posi

Vann added, “I enjoy the change
now, I think it’s a good change.”
ready to take the next step and pull off some
major upsets this season.
“We’ve been so close, yet we haven’t
pulled off a major upset,” he said.
The Cyclones’ non-conference sched
ule includes Wyoming, Minnesota and in
state rival Iowa. By adding conference
opponents Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas
State, the Cyclones need a couple of upsets
to climb the conference ranks.
HUSKERS from page 4
more D’Angelo Evans, along with
spring game surprise Dan Alexander.
Alexander and Evans will miss the
start of the fall season, but both
should be healthy by mid-season.
Evans suffered a groin injury last
fall, and Alexander underwent knee
surgery to repair his ACL, which he
tore in the spring game.
NU will utilize two returning
starters in their front four to anchor
their defense. Seniors Jason Peter
and Grant Wistrom look to lead the
Nebraska defense, after losing eight
starters. Wistrom will line up in the
right rush-end position, and could be
the focus of many Husker opponents
this fall.
“Most people have trouble han
dling Grant,” Solich said. “When we
scrimmage, we do, too.”
Wistrom loses tag-team partner
Jared Tomich on the left side, but said
junior Chad Kelsay will step right
into the role.
“Jared was a good buddy, but
Chad’s going to turn some heads this
year,” Wistrom said. “You’re not
BUFFALOES from page 4
Joining Hcssler in the Colorado back
field will be senior tailback Herchell
Troutman, who led the team in rushing for
the past two years. He rushed 193 times for
804 yards last season, and is 15th on CU’s
all-time rushing list.
The defensive leader of the Buffaloes
will be strong side linebacker Ron
Merkerson. He will lead a defense that last
year was one of the strongest in the confer
ence.
“Our goal, on defense, is to get better
game by game,” he said. “If you’re not get
ting better, you’re getting worse.”
Colorado definitely doesn’t want to get
worse in a conference that sees the possible
champion coming from a Buffs-Huskers
showdown in Boulder, Colo., Nov. 28.
“We’re every bit as talented as
Nebraska,” Hessler said. “We look at it like
every other game. We get there with nation
al title hopes, and they’re crushed after that
game.”
