"I thought Helmbacher and Lieppman were excellent," Rodgers said. "They did their job better than anyone else on the team."
On the other side of the field Washington State coach Jim Sweeny remained optimistic in wake of his team's loss.
From an overall standpoint, Rodgers appeared pleased with the Jayhawks' initial effort but remained cautious in predicting future outings.
"I thought we had a lot of chances to come back," Sweeny said. "Defensively we are a very young team."
"This is a new team and it will make a lot of mistakes," Rodgers said.
Sweeny did have praise for his young quarterback, Ty Paine, and other Cougar newcomers.
"Paine did a great job," Sweeny said, "and I thought a lot of our younger kids did a great job."
(UPI) Big Eight football got off to a roaring start last Saturday as five of six teams picked up victories. The sole loser was Oklahoma State who was defeated by Mississippi State 13-14. Iowa State and Colorado do not open their seasons until next Saturday.
Big Eight off to Great Start
Sweeney had nothing but compliments for Memorial Stadium's new Tartan Turf saying it was a beautiful surface to play on.
Big Eight teams rolled up 200 points to their opponents 68. Last week's results: Missouri 38, Baylor 0; Kansas State 37, Utah State 0; Oklahoma 28, Southern Methodist 11; Nebraska 36, Wake Forest 12; Kansas 48, Washington State 31; and Oklahoma State 13, Mississippi State 14.
Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks saw his defensive unit riddled by Big Eight passers last year. So Fairbanks, who can take a hint, instituted a massive change in his thinking and installed a zone defense in his secondary this season.
"It's not as noisy as Astro-Turf is," Sweeny said. "I think I like this better."
Then Fairbanks took his Sooners to Dallas to face one of the nation's best throwers, Chuck Hixson at Southern Methodist.
Remembering the bombs of Kansas State's Lynn Dickey, Missouri's Terry McMillan and Nebraska's Jerry Tagge, Sooner safety Monty John said before this season began. "We didn't play as well as we should have, but we took more abuse than we should have, too. We really
"This year we've got twice as many good athletes back there and we're playing with a lot more confidence."
weren't that bad in the secondary. It was the result of many things.
If Oklahoma was confident before the SMU game, the Sooners should have enough to pass around now. They stole four Hixson passes, turning two into touchdowns, and rolled to a 28-11 victory.
Hixson, of course, had his moments, hitting 24 for 230 yards, but OU quarterback Jack Mildren directed three second-quarter touchdowns that made saw-horses out of the Mustangs.
Missouri's Joe Moore, the conference's premier running back, stampeded 171 yards on 36 bore-rattling carries and admitted he was tired afterwards. Coach Dan Devine said before the game Moore probably would carry the football "at least as much and probably more" than he did a year ago when he hurled himself through the line 260 times.
Moore also threw his first collegiate pass and connected with Mel Gray on a 72-yard scoring play.
Kansas State, like Missouri, huffed and puffed early, but had more than enough when the chips were down. Dickey had an off
day, hitting only 10 of 29 passes for 109 yards, but fullback Mike Montgomery picked up the attack with 99 yards on 16 carries.
Jerry Tagge completed 9 of 12 passes for Nebraska and unleashed Joe Orduna and Jeff Kinney on the unsuspecting Deacons. Sophomore Johnny Rodges also delighted the 66,103 Cornhusker fans with a 61-yard scoring grab.
"This is a new football team and it'll make a lot of mistakes," said Kansas coach Pepepr Rodgers. "But I'll tell you one thing: This football team can score."
No one doubted Pepper after Saturday. But Kansas yielded 513 yards total offense to the Cougars, generally picked for last place in the Pacific-8.
The Jayhawks' new quarterback, Dan Heek, hit 7 of 15 passes for 166 yards and three touchdowns and John Riggins gained 125-yards on 25 carries.
Oklahoma State couldn't stop Maroon quarterback Joe Reed when it had to and continued an opening-game jinx that dates back to 1958. Reed ran 30 yards for Mississippi State's first touchdown and set up the second one with an 18-yard romp to the one in the fourth quarter. Glenn Ellis' second conversation was the margin of victory.
