Page 14 Sports University Daily Kansan, September 11; 1981 Oregon contest recalls Seurer-Bell frosh debut BY TRACEE HAMILTON Sports Editor Sports Editor A year ago at this time, tailback Kernwil Bell and quarterback Frank Seurler were untwired freshmen. Both made the trip to Eugene, Ore., and Jayhawks' season opponent against the Ducks. Things haven't been the same since. Seurer is happy to be playing Oregon again. BOTTLE BELL and Seurer came off the bench during the Oregon contest. Bell entered the game on the third play and gained 69 yards on 20 carries. Seurer took the field in the second period and guided KU to its only half, a 14-yard pass to David Verser, which gave the Jayhawks 7-7 tie. "I'm pretty excited about this game," he said yesterday. "I played with a couple of guys on their team, and we were talking about the game during the summer." Both Soreir and Bell, who went to Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., know Monte Olson, second-season Oregon center, and Jeff Adams, second-team safety, from their prep days. "It was a pretty intense game," Seuir said in his year's standoff. "Someone will have toDKYseuir." BELL, WHO carried the ball 28 times for 97 Jason Armish Tusa, was described Coach Don Farnbrough as a "mom," because he skipped throughout the season. Bell, the scrumuser among the nation's freshmen, said he would improve his using his head. "I've got to think more, to choo more carefully." Bell said.

Wolverines head pack for national crown Page 10 University Daily Kansan, September 11, 1981 By RON HAGGSTROM Associate Sports Editor In the last six years, six different teams have been the NCAA football champion, and this year Michigan will be added to that list. The Wolwerines return 17 starters from the team that finished fourth in the nation last season. Besides having a strong returning nucleus, Michigan's toughest opponents, Notre Dame and Ohio State, are both scheduled to play in Ann Arbor. MICHIGAN RETURNS eight starters to defense, while quarters were lost while leaving a lookdown左球。 Offensively, the Wolverines return seven starters, including junior All-America wide receiver Anthony Carter, who hauled in 51 passes last year. No. 2 USC will get its opportunity to play in the national championship in the Rose Bowl. Coach Bo Schembechler also has both of his kickers returning to the team that won their first Rose Bowl game in eight attempts last year. THE TROJANS return only four players on offense, but as long as All-America running back Marcus Allen has senior All-American, he could play. Way on the way, the USC should do just fine. However, Carter isn't the lone All-America possibility on offense. Michigan has five other All-America candidates in senior running backs Stan Edwards and Butch Woolfok, senior guard Kurt Becker. And he's also a superior Bubba Paris and junior Ed Murdoch. S sixstarters return on defense including All-America linebacker Chip Banks and senior All-America candidate tackle Dennis Edwards. The only thing that could stop the Texas claims the No. 3 position with 17 starters returning to their line up. Last year, the Longhorns won their first five games, including a victory over the No. 10 Philadelphia Eagles. Michigan-USC Rose Bowl game from deciding the national championship is the first time a college football team has won the championship. Everything is set for the Longhorns to have a big season if they can solve the problem. Senior All-America defensive tackle Kenneth Sims returns along with senior All-America candidate, offensive tackle Terry Tausch. THE NO. 4 position belongs to the Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma returns 14 starters, but must fit replacement for quarterback J. C. Watterson The Sooners offensive line, the best in the Big Eight, is headed by senior All-America guard Terry Crouch and junior All-America candidate tackle Don Key. Defensively, the Sooners will be inexperienced, but have a lot of potential in their sophomore class, which could produce four starters. The Irish rain 16 starters and senior America candidate face picker Harry Oliver Notre Dame's Fighting Irish rank fifth. On offence, the Irish will center their treaty around America's candidate Tony Trump. The Notre Dame defense finished fourth in total defense last year and returns eight starters from that unit. They also had a string of 23 quarters without allowing a touchdown. Senior All-America linebacker Bob Crabb leads the defensive attack. Alabama Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant will get his nine victories to become the A ROUGH SCHEDULE keeps Notre Day from winning the national championship. winning coach in history, but his inexperienced Crimson Tide will finish Only nine starters return for Alabama, four on offense and five on defense. Nebraka holds down the No. 7 position. Nebraska holds down the No. 7 position. The Cormuskers must find a quarterback. The Cornhuskers will be thin offensively, with the defense with eight starters putting up pressure. returning, will be sound. The defensive line is the best in the Big Eight and is headed by senior All-America candidate, end Jimmy Williams. EIGHTH-RANKED GEORGIA returns Sheila Willett and that alone is almost equal to keep them alive. However, there is one other factor that leads the Bulldogs to their high ranking and that's their weak schedule. Georgia's record words were 28 games below 500 last year. Georgia doesn't have a lot of depth and returns only eight starters from last year's league. Coach Joe Paterno's Pen Nate Stittny Lion, after finishing 12-8 in 't, rank 14th. The Nittany Lions return six starters on defense and five on offense Normally Penn State would be ranked higher, but Paterno has the Lions playing their toughest schedule during his tenure. Rounding out the top 10 is Ohio State. With senior All-America candidate quarterback Art Schliccher at the helm and six other starters returning on offense, the Buckeyes will be just fine offensively. Offensively, the Bruins are young but do return seven starters. HEADING THE SECOND 10 is the UCLA Bruins. On defense, Ohio State returns only tour starters. Six sellers at the Brush defense. At No. 12 are the Bulldogs from Mississippi State. Mississippi State returns 13 starters and both kickers to their team that finished 9-3 last year. The Pittsburgh Panthers are No.13 The Robbison Binder sure is no 10. Despite losing 15 starters, Pitt has enough talent to go through its easy schedule. The Florida Gators return 15 starters, eight on offense and seven on defense, and beat the Browns. Florida must patch up holes in the offense and defensive lines. North Carolina, which went 11-1 last winter and starts an offensive on offse- ve five on defense. Arizona State, although not able to go to because of NCAA notation, stacks 10.5g. THE TAR HEELS younger players on defense will need to develop if they plan on winning. The Sun Devils are solid everywhere in the secondary and at wide receivers. Behind the passing of senior All-America football players Mason, the Brightman Young Candidates rank The Cougar defense is loaded but the offense returns only three starters. After finishing the 1980 season with a 10-2 record, the Baylor Bears won't have the year they did last season and are ranked 18th. Baylor's offense is in good hands with senior All-America candidate Jake Jeffrey at Iowa. DEFENSIVELY THE BEARS didn't lose all the many players, but the quality that played well with them. Defensive end afterday after is still weak. No. 19 Clermont could be the surprise of the year if its defense comes around. On offense, the Tigers couldn't be in better shape as they return all 11 starters. Roundout on the top two is Stanford, led by junior All-America candidate. either senior "he said.
