4-0 Jayhawks face week of offensive rebuilding
The Jayhawks are going back to the basics.
The Kansas offense, which has been plagued by injury and ineffectiveness all season, will get a thorough overhaul before the start of KL's Rief Fire schedule.
"We're JUST going to start from scratch," Head Coach Don Fambrough said yesterday. "We've got to eliminate weave. We've got a hard week of practice."
"We're talking about trimming the offense. We're making plans. We're going to study the film, find the mistakes and try to correct them."
It won't be a quick study for Fambrough and his coaching staff.
The Jayhawks, 4- managed only 7 first downs against Arkansas State in a 128-113 loss. They scored 111 yards rushing and 81 yards passing. But 157 yards of that 192-yard total were

courtesty of Garfield Taylor. The sophomore tailback, playing in the injured Kerrin Wilbis' position, ran 25 times for 94 yards and threw the ball to Wayne Caporc 63 yards for KU's go-back touchdown in the third quarter.

the inside game early. We started two tight end, but we couldn't get it done.
"Our passing game was not effective. We've got to work and work and work. We've got to people there. We've got to get better up front. Their defense can't handle it. We've got to execute But the offense couldn't establish a thing."
Sophomore Frank Seurer started for KU, but was replaced in the second half by senior Steve Smith, who led KU to both touchdowns. The Jayhawks were thwarted on a pair of 2-point conversions, however.
"I landed on the 6-inch-line," said Smith of his second conversion try. "I tried to run over the defender, I guess I though I was bigger than him."
The Jayhawks made another strategy change in offense that may have proved even more successful. Offensive Coordinator John Hadl spent the second half in the press box, calling plays from on high.
"WE DECIDED TO let him go up there. We just didn't want to sit and do nothing. It was the first time, and we had a bit disorganized." Fambrough said.
It was from his vantage point atop Memorial Stadium that Hadi called the halfback option. The Jayhaws introduced the play into practice on Thursday, and Taylor said he felt comfortable with it.
"The first time we tried it was Thursday," Taylor said. "Coach said we might use it. As soon as I looked up he was open."
Capers, too, was happy with the play. "I KNEW IT was going to work," he said. "We needed a big play to bring back the moment."
The momentum didn't swing the Jayhawks' way until the fourth quarter. Even the defense, which sparked in the non-conference games, was sluggish.
"We stopped them in the first quarter," defensive end Bryan Horn said. "Then we took them lackadaisal for the second and third quarter."
The defense, however, scored again, the fourth time in as many contests for the Jayhawks. That tally came early in the game when defensive tackle Broderick Thompson blocked an unexpected third down punt from the field, which it was KU's third safety of the year, which is tops in the nation.
"I're really trying harder because I've got to show people that I can play Big Eight football," Thompson said. "I don't think the offense is relying on the defense too much. We'll take all we can get.
"WE NEVER GET tired. We're in great shape."
But the Indian wishbone continually pounded the defense, which was on the field for 35 minutes—10 full minutes longer than the offense.
"Our defense certainly was not up to par today," Fambrough said. "The wishbone caused us real trouble. They run it real well."
"We couldn't capitalize. We were very fortunate to win and play as poorly as we did. I have nothing but praise for Lacewell and his fine football team."
"ITHINK ABC made a good choice. I doubt if there was a more exciting game than this one," said LaceWell, referring to the regional telecast of the show. "We are always decided by breaks. We gave them the biggest on their last bat."
Lacewell, who also coaches from the press box, picked up his wishbone knowledge at Oklahoma, where he was a coach for nine years.
Two breaks that helped decide the outcome were two penalty calls in the fourth quarter. The first, on Kansas, was a defensive clipping call that
halted one of the Jayhawks few real offensive drives.
Yes, that's right, defensive clipping. Never heard of it? Don't despair, neither had anyone else at Memorial Stadium right up to Fambrough.
"I never heard it before," Fambrough said. "I couldn't explain it to me."
"Horn pushed a blocker. We've only been doing that for about 105 years. The last two weeks were the worse officiating I've ever seen. If we'd lost then I wouldn't say it, but I've got to get it off my chest.
"NOBODY--THE players, coaches or fans—goes to the game to see the officials. I wish they'd get out of the ball game."
KU's preconference games have been called by three Big Eight officials and three officials from the opposing team's conference, in this case the Southland
A Southland Conference official made the defensive clipping call. A Big Eight official made the call that may have decided the ball game—Arkansas State was called for 12 men on the field, and Bruce Kallmeier in field goal range.
"I will recommend we use officials outside of either conference next year," Fambrough said. "I'm sick of it. Our defense has been bombed by the defensive clipping call, too."
"The preliminaries are over." Fambrough said. "We've got to improve. They are a fine football team. We start playing for keeps. It will be a big football game, the biggest so far this year."
JAYHAWK NOTES: Cornerback Gary Luster, who has been plagued by injuries during his KU career, has left the field in a game against Freresto, where he will enroll at Freresto State.
