Chip Schuler, a 6-foot-1, 260-pound offensive guard, attempts to lift 450 pounds in the squat. Schuler, Independence junior, has done three repetitions of 551 pounds in the squat, a school record, and had
the second-best bench press on the team when the Jayhawks were tested in May.
Weight program on the rise
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Writer
KU's football team will be young and inexperienced this fall, but it could be the strongest team in Jayhawk history, according to KU strength and conditioning coach Ken Graff.
Graff, in his second year in charge of conditioning programs for all Jayhawk athletic teams, said he based his assumption on records kept by past KU strength coaches.
At this time last year, one KU player, offensive guard Paul Fairchild, (drafted this year by the New England Patriots of the National Football League) bench pressed more than 400 pounds. When the KU coaching staff tested players in May, nine benched more than 400 pounds. Tailback Lynn Williams lifted 474 pounds, breaking Fairchild's school record
Each player is tested in the bench and squat, as well as the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and standing broad jump.
Strict standards are applied on the tests. The dashes are electronically timed, and players must crouch to the right depth for their lifts in the squat to count.
"What used to be a 500-pound squat here would be a 375,400, at best a 425-pound squat now, as deep as I make our athletes go, and I make them go that deep all the time," Graff said.
Graff said that a 2½ inch d i f f e r e n c e in the depth required for a lift to count could make as much as a 250-pound difference in the maximum amount a player could squat.
Graff tests for the amount a player can squat eight times, rather than one, to decrease the risk of injury. As another safety precaution, players
who have spondylosis (curvature of the spine with a separation in the vertabrae) protect their backs by testing on the leg sled instead of the squat.
Perhaps Graff's most important work comes with the linemen. He said that when he was hired, KU athletic director Monte Johnson and KU head football coach Mike Gottfried told him that a main priority was for KU football teams to be able to control the line of scrimmage.
Although the Jayhawks practically lost their entire offensive line from last year's team, Graff said that this year's replacements all had better lifts in the bench press and squat than last year's starters.
Graff said last year's frequently trampled-upon defensive line should be significantly stronger this year.
"We were not only small but we were weak there last year," he said. "We've made tremendous strides with our defensive linenman."
But Graff is quick to warn that added strength won't necessarily make for improved performance, and that players have to learn to respond to actual game situations before that strength can be put to good use.
"With young players they run games on them, they run blitzes and everything, and a young player is not used to seeing that," he said.
"If people don't move better, they're not going to play better football," he said. "We want them to run faster, jump higher and move better laterally — if we do that with strength improvement, then the strength improvements are fine, and we've had both."
Though Graff's weight room may be producing stronger players, he said that the primary goals of the strength program were to reduce the risk of injury and produce better movement.
Evidence of improved movement on the KU team is the fact that fifteen players are now running 40s in 4.5 seconds or less. Last year one Jayhawk ran the 40 that fast.
KU players now lift in the weight room at Parrott Athletic Center. When the new KU indoor practice facility, the Fred B. Anschutz Pavilion, is completed, they will lift in this building.
"With the new facility we're building, for the number of athletes we'll be put through there, the footage we'll have to compare with anybody in the country." Graff said.
"It's a tremendous addition for recruiting," he said. "We'll be in a situation where we can put teams through together more, whereas here with the smaller facility I spread the lifting out quite a bit more."
Gottfried said he hired Graff when he hired Buddy Geis as an assistant from Tulane. Geis recommended Graff, who was the strength coach at Tulane at the time. Tulane went 6-5 7-5 and 4-7 in Graff's years there, playing a rugged schedule that included Clemson, Georgia, Mary land, Florida and LSU.
Gottried said, "We knew that our present facility was really a negative as far as facilities compared to what everybody else in the conference had."
"We beat people like that, and we controlled the line of scrimgimage, and that's what we plan to do here, but it takes time, and it takes experience. You just don't control it with brawn, you control it with brains."
"These coaches are as good with the x's and o's as anybody there is, and that's what excites me about being at the University of Kansas. I came here to stay," he said.
Brawn is Graff's area of concentration, and he believes the brains on the team are in good hands.

Neal Pilson announced CBS's tentative broadcast schedule for Big Ten and Pac-10 games at the annual Big Ten kickoff gathering.
CHICAGO — The difference in attitude between ABC and CBS toward their college football broad cast rights will deprive football fans of seeing several important games this fall, a CBS vice president said Thursday.
After the Supreme Court negated the NCAA television broadcast plan last month, CBS signed a contract with the Big Ten and Pac-10 while ABC signed a contract with the Collegiate Football Association, of which most of the other major Division I A schools are members.
There are several games this fall between teams covered by the two broadcast plans. For instance, on Sept. 15, Penn State plays at Iowa and on Sept. 22, Nebraska is at UCLA.
The Penn State-Iowa game will not be broadcast because Penn State will not allow it. Pilson said.
"Historically, the home team controls the venue." Pilsen said. "The home team issues the credentials. We think the home team is the team to deal with. We have no problems with situations, to allowing the CFA to broadcast their home games with Big Ten or Pac-10 teams involved.
"But, to ABC, exclusivity is the most important issue in sports. With that attitude, the interest of the viewers is not considered," he said.
The tentative CBS schedule has Michigan appearing five times and UCLA and Ohio State four times, although it "is not written in granite." according to Pilson.
"The CFA says their teams, even when playing out of the association, should have an absolute vet right on broadcasting." Pilson said.
The schedule includes
Sept 13: Washington at Michigan
Berkshire at UCLA, Iowa
at Ohio State.
Sept. 29: Illinois at Iowa
Oct. 20: Michigan at Iowa, UCLA at California
Oct. 13: Illinois at Ohio State.
Washington at Stanford.
Oct. 27: Illinois at Michigan or Ohio State at Wisconsin, UCLA at Arizona State.
Nov. 3: Michigan at Purdue or Wisconsin at usc, USC at Stanford.
Puison said CBS could not broadcast games on the first two weekends of September because of U.S. Open tennis tournament coverage.
The Nebraska-UCLA game is tentative depending on whether Nebraska, which is part of the CFA, agrees to allow the broadcast.
USC is on the schedule, even though it was found guilty of major NCAA rules infractions and originally was forbidden to make television appearances for the 1984 season.
"The NCAA infraction committee said because of the imprecision of the Supreme Court ruling it does not know whether all such penalties are suspended." Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen said. "The NCAA will go to court to clear up the situation."
