Cage season opens Dec. 1
Low-bos upend Kansas
New Mexico quarterback Frank Gorman continually fooled KU's highly-touted defense with his options and keepers, as the Lobos upset the sluggish Jayhawks in Albuquerque Saturday night.
New Mexico, the same team which had lost 21 straight games and which KU beat 68-7 last year, jumped to a 16-0 lead in the first half.
After a third-quarter touchdown cut it to 16-7, the Jayhawks made too many costly errors to come back. Twice KU had the Lobos stopped on their first series of the fourth period. But a penalty gave New Mexico a first down and Jim Hatcher's fumble of a punt donated the ball back again at KU's 37.
That fumble put the Jayhawk's in the hole for good. They took over at the 2 and 20-yard lines on the next two possessions but couldn't move the ball.
The Lobos 232-pound fullback Sam Scarber set a New Mexico record for most carries with 38 and picked up 130 yards in ripping the Jayhawk defense. The Lobos as a team rushed for 279 yards.
There was no doubt which team was superior in the first half. The Lobos held a 235-119 advantage in total offense and piled up 13 first downs to 5 for Kansas.
And the 16-0 score could have been higher except for a holding penalty and a fumble that stopped New Mexico drives.
KU threatened only once in the first half and that lasted only until tailback Ron Jessie hit the ground at the end of a 45-yard run. He fumbled and the Lobos' Willie Shaw recovered on New Mexico's 19-yard line.
New Mexico became the first team in 14 games to manage a first-quarter touchdown against Kansas, when Gorman went over from the 4 at the end of a 14-play, 68-yard drive.
Ku got back into the game on its second possession of the third period driving 71 yards in 12 plays. Quarterback Jim Ettinger hit Craig Martindale for 12 yards to the Lobos 28 on third-and-three. Two plays later Ettinger found Willie Amison all alone in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown pass. Bill Bell's kick made it 16-7 with 4:35 left in the quarter and that's the way it stood after three periods.
KU mounted no real threat in the last quarter and the score remained the same at the final gun.
Jessie led KU runners with 110 yards on 15 carries. Ettinger completed only 5 of 18 passes for 61 yards.
