Funeral Atmosphere in Dressing Room Mitchell Blames Preparation
A funeral home is not a very happy place. And neither was the KU dressing room after the Jayhawks suffered a 14-17 defeat at the hands of the Iowa State Cyclones here Saturday.
Iowa State broke a 7-7 tie early in the fourth quarter, going ahead, 14-7. KU quarterback Steve Renko then directed a 64-yard drive to the Cyclone goal line, with fullback Ken Coleman carrying the final seven yards into the end zone on the 12th play of the series. Gary Duff's kick again tied the game.
"WE DID A very, very poor job of preparation for this game." Coach Jack Mitchell said in the gloomy KU dressing room after the game.
A 65-vard pass play from Renko to Ron Oelschlager carried to the ISU eight-yard line, but the threat stopped there as three passes and a field goal attempt failed.
"Their option play and the running pass were the two deciding factors, and we were not prepared to stop them," Mitchell said. "We had worked on them all week, but evidently not hard enough or long enough."
An Iowa State field goal with 1:20 to go in the game put the Cyclones ahead to stay.
The Cyclones completed nine of 15 passing attempts for 133 yards. This included a four-for-four passing performance by halfback Dave Hoover. Three of Hoover's passes helped set up the winning field goal, and the other went 11 yards for the second Iowa State touchdown.
"They did everything we expected them to do. They are a sound, well-coached team, and they beat us, soundly and capably. We didn't deserve to win.
"I WAS QUITE disappointed with our pass defense," Mitchell said. "We just couldn't seem to contain their passing game."
"They (I-State) felt they could win, and we were completely inadecute.
I don't think the boys were flat. They were up for the game. Maybe we are just no better than that.
"OUR OFFENSIVE maneuvers looked ordinary and unimaginative," he said. "They (iowa State) were committing themselves on the outside, and we couldn't take advantage of it."
"Everytime we were in position to do anything, we couldn't do it."
"My biggest mistake was not driving the ball in after that interception. It was my mistake."
Mitchell was referring to George Worley's fourth-quarter interception and runback to the Cyclone 10-yard line following the second KU touchdown.
ON THE FIRST play, Mitchell called for a pass which was intercepted by Hoover. Iowa State then marched downfield to score the winning field goal.
The Renko-to-Oelschlager 65-yard pass with 33 seconds remaining in the game put the Jayhawks in position to tie or go ahead.
"We wanted to try the fake field goal pass and then the bootlegs," Mitchell said.
Loud boos arose from the crowd when Duff and Renko took their positions for the attempted field goal fake and a five-yard illegal procedure penalty was charged against the Jayhawks before the play was executed.
Mitchell said he did not think the crowd was responsible for the mix-up which caused the penalty.

Jown Lawson (14:41) placed fourth and George Cabrera placed fifth in 14:44
AFTER THE FAKE field goal pass and two other passes fell incomplete, Duff was sent in for a field goal attempt from the 20-yard line. The kick was no good, and Iowa State downed the ball for one play to end the game.

"You can't altogether blame the kicker in a situation like this," Mitchell said. "The center, the holder and the whole team figures in the play. You can't say Duff lost the game, and I know you won't."
Coleman, playing his usual fine offensive and defensive game, scored both KU touchdowns, but was thrown for the first loss of his college career early in the first quarter.
The big senior fullback lost one yard on the third play of the game. Armand Baughman, the other senior fullback, was thrown for his first loss in the Syracuse game two weeks ago.
"I was sorry it happened," Coleman said, "but it was my own fault. I just couldn't get back."
Clay Stapleton, coach of the Iowa State football team, had lost to KU the last five years. With less than a minute to play, Stapleton was beginning to think his team's three-point lead would disappear and the Jayhawkers would add No. 6 in the series between the two schools.
"We had been a 'hard-luck' football team the last couple of years." Stapleton said in the dressing room
