Friday, September 30, 1977 University Daily Kansan 13 Javhawks to challenge Oklahoma By JASON NUSS Sports Writer There never is a good time to play Oklahoma, but the Kansas Jayhawks may be in a better position than most teams when the two collide at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in But BUOUC barry Switzer probably will not let you forget that they have a vicious torture system. The Sooners are coming off an emotional 29-28 victory over Ohio State in Columbus last Saturday and may be looking past the Jayhawks to their next foe—the University "WE PLAN on talking to our squad a great deal about that," he said. "We're not good enough to dominate anybody. Emotionally, we're going to have to be at our best to win, even though we're heavily favored." Switzer also referred to the fact that KU always seems to play well against Oklahoma three years ago in what KU coach Bud Moore said was "the greatest victory in the history of college football." It is hard to believe, but the Squirrels have lost only two games since. Moore, for one, is not expecting any emotional letdown from the Sooners men. "I very definitely think that they will be ready." Moore said. "I'd much rather be in the office." *By Jill K. Anderson* Last week's victory over Ohio State was a costly one for the Sooners, however. Several key players were injured and hobbled during the game, running back Billy Sims, who hurt an ankle and his achilles tendon, probably will not play tomorrow. Sims, who leads the Sooners in rushing with 225 yards and an 8.8 average, a carry, replaced by David Overer, a freshman. OLKAHOMA'S SECOND leading rusher, Elvis Peacock, suffered a bruised knee against the Buckeyes and probably will not start. Peacock, who has rushed for 208 yards, will be use only on defense. Switzerland's Freddie Nixon, who was switched from split end to running back during spring drills, should start in place of Peacock. Sooner quarterback Thomas Lott, who ★ ★ ★ Lott to start for Sooners NORMAN, Okla. (AP)—Thomas Lott, quarterback for the top-ranked Oklahoma University Sooner football team, will start against Kansas tomorrow. He had been sidelined with a knee sprain suffered against Ohio State. A bad ankle sprain will keep right half-back Billy Sims out of the Kansas game, Sooner Coach Barry Switzer said at yesterday's practice session. Switzer said freshman David Overstreet will start in Sim's place. LOTT EARLIER this week had described his sprained ankle as less than serious. He said "time is the only thing that will help me." With Lott running the Sooners' wishbone attack, Oklahoma rolled past Ohio State in the first quarter, but faltered when he went out with an injury in the second quarter. Aside from the announcements on the players' conditions, the Sooners had a routine workout, concentrating on the kicking game.

He has been plagued all season with injuries to both knees, let the Sooners to a lead over the Buckeyes before being knocked out. "Lott is looking good," Switzer said. "He's playing better than he has all year." Moore does not think the injuries will affect the Sooners performance. if Lott does not move the ball effectively against the Jayhawk, Switzer indicated he was able to keep the ball out of Blevin. Blevin has started two games this year and came in last week after Lot was out. Oklahoma's defense did not leave Columbus without its share of injuries as well. All-America candidate Reggie Kilmaw, the Sooners' middle guard, has been bothered by knee injuries all season. He should play but probably will not start, Switzer said. Three-year letterman Richard Murray is expected to start in his place. SOPHOMORE J. C. WATTS, whom the season began, could see action, according to Swiss report. Defensive end Reggie Mathis sprained an ankle last week but is expected to play. However, his replacement played well enough to earn a start role against the Jayhawks. "OKLAHOMA IS absolutely un- able to ignore my opinion if very possibly have the right. "Their quarterback situation is a perfect example. I know they are concerned about Lott, but at the same time there aren't many players with the backups like backups by Blevins and Jay Jimerson." Thomas Lott talent in the country. They are deep at every experience, have a very good blend youth and experience. Jimmerson is a freshman quarterback who led the Sooners to a come-from-behind victory over Vanderbilt in OU's first game of the season. The Sooners' main concern, other than the injuries, is holding on to the football. In three games this year, the top-rated Sooners have huddled 24 times and lost 14 of them. Against Ohio State, they gave the Buckeyes the ball on fumbles at the Oklahoma 19, 20, 23 and 33 yard lines. The Sooners turned the playoffs on Sunday, winting eight times when kid upset them in 1978. THE JAYHAWKS, who edged Washington State last week 14-12, appear to be in their best physical condition of the year. Running back Bill Campfield and quarterback Mark Vincentes will make the trip, Moore said yesterday. "We'll take Campfield and Vincenade on the trip," Moore said. "I don't know if they'll play. They both looked fairly good in practice today but we'll just have to wait and see how they feel when we get down there." Three Jayhawk reserves—David Flet- ter, Sydney and Bob Whtenn- will not make the change. Freshman Jiff Hines, who rushed for 65 yards against Washington State, will again play in the game. MOORE HAS ANNOUNCED that the captains for the Oklahoma game will be traindice Lindense Mason and fullback Norris McFarlane. The players and strong safety Tom Fitch on defense. Banks, a senior from Houston, leads the Jayhawks in rushing with 207 yards. He needs 56 yards to become KU's eighth leading career rusher. Fitch, a senior from Topeka, intercepted two passes and ran one back 75 yards for a touchdown last week. He was named the captain and played player-of-the week for his performance. Omana could tie their own NCAA record for most consecutive games scoring tomorrow. The Sooners have scored in 122 straight games, beginning in 1966. If they score against the Jayhawks, they will tie the mark set by UO teams from 1946 until 1957.
