OU strength, speed worries Rodgers
By Mike Jones Kansan Staff Reporter
The KU football team hustled through an hour and a half practice session Thursday in final
--preparation for Saturday's battle with Oklahoma.
KU coach Pepper Rodgers said he was particularly worried about OU's strength and quickness on offense.

With a possible free trip to Miami hanging in the balance forOU, it seems very unlikely that the Jayhawk Express will be able to derail the mighty league-leading Sooners.
The Jayhawks should be up for this one after a disappointing loss to Colorado last week, but they'll be playing with fire when they meet the nation's seventh ranked team.
In a mild upset, I'll have to side with the Tigers. Nebraska has been having a very disappointing year by most Cornhusker standards, and the Tigers should be able to take advantage of this fact on their own stopping grounds.
Missouri 14. Nebraska 10
This game will feature a battle between two of the nation's leading defensive units.
Oklahoma State 21. Iowa State 6
The Cowboys seem destined to help Iowa State close out its season with a bang—at least in the mind of this sportswriter.
After seeing both teams play, I will have to go with Oklahoma State on its determination if nothing else. Despite a shortage of individual talent, the 'Pokes proved they could compete with the best when they knocked off Arkansas and Colorado earlier this season.

The Buffs are back on the winning trail again and will stampede into Manhattan Saturday. If you have ever tried to corral an angry group of Buffaloos, you may have a somewhat accurate indication of what Vince Gibson's crew faces against Colorado.
"Their offense is so strong, they can consistently mount long scoring drives," said Rodgers. "This helps their defense by keeping them on the bench."
Oklahoma is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense. The Sooners are ranked fourth in rushing offense and twelfth in total offense. They are rated seventh in the nation by both press polls and will in all probability receive a bid to the Orange Bowl if they can knock off the Jayhawks.
If the Sooners beat KU, they will clinch a tie for the Big Eight Championship and would only need to win one of their two remaining games to win the title outright.
KU is the only other team with a chance of winning the title. If the Jayhawks win, they would be in first place and, with a win over Missouri next week, they could finish with no worse than a tie for the crown.
KU's junior quarterback Bob Douglass, who last week set KU season records in passing and total offense, could have trouble getting the KU offense rolling against a strong OU defense led by Sooner All-American Granville Liggins.
Rodgers said Liggins, who plays middle guard, "is so fast he looks like he is offline every play."
Douglass will have to be at his best to throw against the sticky OU pass defense. The Sooner secondary, composed of sophomore Bob Stephenson, junior Steve Barrett and senior Bruce Stensrud, has intercepted 14 passes.
The Oklahoma offense revolves around junior signal-caller Bob Warmack. Warmack has guided his team on 22 touchdown drives this season. Fifteen of them have
been over 60 yards long.
Running behind Warmack are the two leading rushers in the Big Eight, Ron Shotts and Steve Owens.

"Ask the man who's been there."
Hallowed tradition of"pinning"a girl is up-dated by Sprite bottle caps.
According to an independent survey (we took it ourselves), a startling new practice is becoming widespread on some college campuses.
Suddenly, fraternity men are no longer "pinning" the lovely young things that catch their eye.
Why has this come about?
Perhaps because of what happens when you go
through the ceremony of opening a bottle of Sprite.
It fizzes! Roars! Buzzers! Tingles! Bubbles!
All of which makes for a much more moving moment than to simply "pin" a girl.
Capped off, of course, by the sharing of a few moments of delicious abandon. (Tasting the tingling tartness of Sprite, that is.)
Then, too, the intimacy of two people engaged in the act of opening a bottle of Sprite in itself leads to strong emotional involvement.
The beauty of the idea is that if the course of true love does not run smooth, you don't have to go to the trouble of getting back your pin.
You just buy another bottle of Sprite.
