KU quiets Cowboy pistols, 26-15
Bv Chip Rouse
STILLWATER, Okla.—"Pistol Pete" done ran out of ammunition early in Saturday's game as the Kansas football Jayhawks marched to a come-from-behind 26-15 decision over the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
"Pete," the fictional OSU mascot, and an estimated homecoming crowd of 34,500 watched the Cowboys surge to an early 15-0 first quarter lead, only to see it slowly dwindle under a barrage of Bob Douglass bullet passes.
The defeat marked the fourth loss in the last five homecoming contests for Phil Cutchin's Oklahoma State eleven.
Offense superb
KU shined on offense in the game, combining a potent running attack along with a sound passing game for an offensive total of 420 yards.
Quarterback Bob Douglass had his best game as a Jayhawk signal caller connecting on seven of fifteen passes for 158 yards, and carrying the pigskin 17 times for 95 yards. His offensive total of 253 yards is not only the best for a Big Eight back this year, but the third best in history for a Jayhawk. Only Galye Sayers and Ray Evans have had more productive games.
The Cowboys scored twice in the opening period, and it appeared that the Jayhawks might be in for a long afternoon. However, Douglass got his forces rolling in the second quarter as the crimson and blue struck paydirt three times to move the Jayhawks into a 19-15 lead at halftime.
Tight end John Mosier, who hauled in five Douglass' aerials for 103 yards, also placed his name among the select list of Jayhawk gridders of yesteryear. His total places him tenth on the all-time list for yardage gained by a KU receiver in one game.
When asked what was said to the players to get them going after falling behind 15-0, Rodgers said, "We simply told the boys to start playing." The KU mentor felt the defense was sound, even during the two OSU scoring drives.
Cowboys score early
"Football is like a game of chess," Rodgers said, "when you get out there, you have to see what the other guy is doing."
The Jayhawks were penalized 92 yards in the contest, most of which came on offsides and illegal motion calls.
"I'm happy we won," Rodges said. "It was a great win over a good Oklahoma State football team." Rodgers singled out Keith Christensen as playing an outstanding game, both on offense and defense.
PASS PROTECTION
