10 Monday, Sept. 21, 1970 University Daily Kansan KU Hits Snag in Comeback Trail; Texas Tech Rips Jayhawks, 23-0 By JOE H. BULLARD Kansan Sports Editor The Texas Tech Red Raiders soundly defeated the University of Kansas football Jayhawks 23-0 last Saturday before 38,700 fans in KU's Memorial Stadium. For Kansas, now 1-1, the defeat was the first of the season, and the first shutout for Jayhawk coach Pepper Rodgers since coming to KU in 1967. It was one of those days when nothing worked for the Jayhawks. The KU defense was erratic and the offense was hampered by interceptions and drive-stopping penalties. For the Red Raiders, it was a day when little went wrong. With the exception of two fumbles and an interception, the Raider offense was devastating, rolling up 336 yards rushing and another 136 yards passing. The Tech defense was equally impressive holding KU to 95 yards rushing and 160 yards passing. Early in the first period it seemed that the Jayhawks were going to live up to their "Kansas Will Be Back" slogan. With 1:56 gone in the first period, the KU defense rushed Tech quarterback Charles Napper who fumbled with KU recovering on the Texas Tech 43 yard line. In seven plays KU drove to the Tech 15 and on second and eight, Heck threw to fight end "arry Brown on the goal line, but the pass was deflected. On the next play, Bruce Bushong, Tech defensive back, intercepted a Heck pass on the Tech six yard line ending the drive. KU never again got inside the Red Raider 20 yard line. Three times KU mounted drives only to have them stall due to a 15 yard ineligible receiver penalty, a 15 yard clipping penalty and a fumble by John Riggins on the Texas Tech 32 yard line. Kansas was penalized a total of six times for 69 yards. Last week's oft praised KU passing attack literally never got off the ground. Quarterback Heck attempted 40 passes, the most ever attempted by a KU quarterback, completing 17 for 160 yards. Big statistic was four Heck passes intercepted by the Raider secondary. Unlike last week, the big play never materialized for the Jayhawks. The longest play went for 23 yards on a Heck to Ron Jessie pass. The longest run for KU was turned in by Heck, on a 16 yard quarterback sneak. Top ground gainer for KU was Donnie Joe Morris with 31 yards on four attempts followed by John Riggins with 27 yards on nine carries. Defensively Kansas was erratic. For three series the KU defense gave up less than 3 yards on the first two downs, and then on third and long yardage, the Raiders were able to pull off the big play for the first down. Tommy Oakson, KU linebacker, and Jayhawk safety, Gary Adams, were tied for the most tackles with 13 each. Texas Tech combined a strong running game with an accurate passing attack for their 23 points. Perkins (67) and Palmer (75) Hit Tech Quarterback Standouts for the Red Raiders were quarterback Napper, running backs Doug McCutchen, Danny Hardaway and Miles Langehennig, and split end Johnny Odom. The rushing attack was the main stay of the Tech offense with three powerful running backs alternating much of the game. McCutchen was the Raider's top rusher with 114 yards on 17 attempts. Langehennig rushed for 111 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries while only playing in the first half. Hardaway was the Tech workhorse, carrying the ball 20 times for 86 yards and one touchdown. The Texas Tech running game was balanced by a passing attack led by quarterback Napper, who threw 14 times completing 11 for 136 yards and one touchdown. At one point in the game, Napper threw 10 straight completions. ... and Holden (70) recovers resulting fumble from KU Napper's favorite target was Odom who caught 4 passes for 71 yards. Standouts were defensive lineman Wayne McDermand and Donald Rives who each had six tackles and defensive back Bushong, who picked off two KU passes. Also scoring for Tech was Dickey Ingram who kicked two extra points and a 35 yard field goal. The Tech defensive play was excellent, smothering a highly praised KU offensive attack.
