Line gives best in finale

HONOLULU — Saving the best for last.
That is what Kansas senior defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield did in his collegiate career.
"Playing his final game in a Kansas uniform, Stubblefield recorded three sacks and had three quarterback hurls in a 23-20 Aloba Bowl victory against Brigham Young University. "That was the best," he said. "That game right there was the best that I played."
It would be hard to argue that Stubblefield ever played better, as his three sacks of BYU freshman quarterback Tom Young cost the Cougars 22 yards in losses. When Stubblefield was not tackling Young, he was chasing him around the football field.
Stubblefield said he practiced hard
on his pass rush the week before the game because he knew the Cougars had an inexperienced quarterback. Young, the fourth starting quarterback of the season for BYU, had thrown three passes all year before the Aloha Bowl.
Young tried to avoid the fierce Kansas pass rush all day, but the Jayhawks caught him six times behind the line of scrimmage.
Senior defensive end Kyle Moore was another Jayhawk who chased Young, adding one sack and one hurry to Kansas' defensive effort.
Moore said the Jayhawks did not want to let the freshman settle down.
"I think he was just nervous," he
said, and gave him time to real-
ly settle down.
The Brigham offensive line was not really that bad, Moore said.
to rate them an eight out of 10."
"They were like the average offensive line we faced," he said, "I'd have
However competent the Cougars' offensive linemen were, the Jayhawk defenders were better Christmas Day.
Junior free safety Kwanie Lassiter led the Jayhawks with 12 tackles, and sophomore outside linebacker Don Davis was second with seven.
Senior linemen had five of the team's six sacks. Senior defensive tackle Gilbert Brown and junior defensive end Brian Christian also recorded sacks.
Though the linebackers and secondary played their parts, it was the defensive line that stood out in the victory.
Although Kansas will lose several key seniors to graduation, Stubblefield believes there is a future for the returning Javahawks.
"If they step up, they shouldn't have any problem," he said.
Eichloff, Kansas aided by BYU's kicking woes

Eichloch, a junior kicker, said he hit only 2 of 10 field goals in one practice and 4 of 10 in another. But practice makes perfect, and the Kansas kicker was 2-for-2 on field goals in a 23-20 Aloha Bowl victory.
HONOLULU—If Dan Eichloff's week of practice before the Aloha Bowl would have been any indication of how Kansas would fare against Brigham Young University, the Jayhaws would have lost by 50.
His 48-yarder with 2:57 remaining put the Jayhawks ahead for good and capped Kansas' comeback in a point-deficit in the fourth quarter.
"I was just happy it hit," he said. Eichloff was one of Kansas' heroes, but BYU junior kicker David Launder had a less-than-perfect performance, missing all three of his field goal attempts.
Lauder, who sustained a pre-game injury to his kicking leg, found different ways to miss each field goal.
Sophomore Chris Powell congratulates junior place kicker Dan Eichloff.
His 36-year attempt in the first quarter sailed just right of the uprights. He got even closer in the third quarter when his 31-yard try hit the left upright and bounded back onto the field. Finally, his 42-yard attempt in the fourth quarter missed badly, wobbling far right of the uprights.
Lauder's misses allowed the Jayhawks to keep the score close, and Eichloh's successes capped off the Kansas victory.
Eichloff's punting totals were this day, as he averaged 40.6 yards a kick, almost two yards a kick less than his 42.4-yard career average at the start of this season.
A sunny day in Aloha Stadium seemed to cure Eichloh's punting woes. He averaged 48.3 yards on eight punts, and boomed one 56 yards.
BYU defensive tackle/punter Brad Hunter, a giant among patters at 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds, averaged 48 yards on three punts.
In the Aloha Bowl, Hunter's three punts and teammate junior punter.kicker Joe Herrick's 49-yard boot gave BYU an 48.3 yard average.
the same as Kansas'. The 48.3 yard averages were Aloha Bowl records for team punting
Eichloh, who is 6-feet tall and weighs 215 pounds, said he was amazed by Hunter's size.
"I thought I was big for a punter," he said. "He was huge."
Kansas finished in the final AP football poll for the first time since 1973.
