University Daily Kansan, September 11, 1987 Sports Oregon contest recalls Seurer-Bell frosh debut By TRACEE HAMILTON Sports Editor A year age at this time, tailback Kervin Well and quarterback Frank Seurier were untidy freshmen. Both made the trip to Eugene, Ore., Jayhawks' season opener against the Ducks. Things haven't been the same since. Seurier 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 tail, a 14-yard pass to David Verser, which gave the Jayhawks a 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 Squirrel and Bell, who went to Elkridge High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., know Monte second-second Oregon center, and Jeff Williams, second-team safety, from their pre-davids. "It was a pretty intense game," Seuer said of last year's standoff. "Someone will have to prove that." BELL, WHO carried the ball 28 times for 97 ards against Tulsa, was descrir Coach Don Fambrough as a "rm because opposing defenses will be the season. Bell, the rusher among the nation's freshman season, said he would improve his using his head. "I've got to think more, to choicer carefully," Bell said.

"We worked on dumping it to the backs if the receivers aren't open. I don't want to force anything." Seurer and Bell combined for several short passes in the flat that were successful against the mobile Tulsa defense, and Seurer said he hoped to use the play more often against Oregon. "WMEIGHT BE DOING that more," he said. "It扑起 the running back one-on-one with the inside defense," he added. "I was hoping we'd run it," Seurer said. "I guess it was the circumstances we were in." But the Jayhawks never ran one of Seurer's favorites—the shotgun. 'We'll have to be at our very, very best. We can't give them anything. I think we've got our mistakes corrected.'

September 11, 1981 Regional schedule could help KU By TRACEE HAMILTON Sports Editor The KU football team's regionalized schedule, designed to cut travel costs, also Because the Jayhawks will be staying closer to home this season, their schedule will feature teams with similar playing ability and size. "We're playing four good teams." Head coach Eric Kroll said. "We've not played Pitt or Michigan, we haven't played Pitt or Michigan." THE JAYHAWKS are playing Tulsa, Oregon, Kentucky and Arkansas State before beginning Big Eight skirmishes. Oregon Oregon will be tougher than its nickname suggests. The Ducks were 6-2-3 last season and knocked off Pac-10 powers Washington and UCLA on the road and tied USC. Their other tie came against Kansas, a 7-7 decision in Eugene. "I know they are an outstanding football team," Fambrough said. "They beat the University of Washington and tied USC. They'll be a strong football team." The Ducks open their season September 5. with a road contest at Fresno State. Junior guard Becky is the startling quarterback for Oregon that has tough competition for that position. "We've got a fine veteran in Kevin Lusk, a seasoned sophomore in Edmund Rivera and two potentially outstanding freshmen Jason Koehler and Jon Gørensen. Ducks coach Rich Brooks said. LUSK, HOWEVER, underwent knee surgery immediately after spring snowstorm. "I would be surprised if he can't play in the opening," Brooks said of Luk. "Kevin has been a constant." Except take a hit. He was kept out of contact during preseason scrimmages, the Fresno game could determine the offensive leadership that will line up against the Jayhawks in Lawrence tomorrow. Kentuckv Kentucky is the Colorado of the Southeastern Conference, an average team in a powerful division. The Wildcats are 34-3 last season, but lost only 9 starters. "They've been down, but they had two fine recruiting years, ambrough said. They had 50 people." THE GOVERNOR of Kentucky, however, is not as optimistic as Fambridge. Gov. John Y. Brown initiated a drive this summer to fire Wildcat coach Jordan Mackey to wife wife. Phyllis George Brown, is known to many football fans, failed in his attempt. "I did get a call from Frankfort telling me that, really, things aren't that bad, that there was no question I'd be kept on as coach if I win two games this year." Curci said in a recent Sportings News interview. "That is, if we win the Alabama and Tennessee games, everything will be okay." Things in Lexington may not be okay for a while. Arkansas State Fambourg flees Arkansas State may be the sleeping gant of this year's pre-battle rally. "They're the kind of team you worry about," he said. "They've got everything to win and nothing to lose. All 22 starters are returning." "They took their lumps last year. It's kind of rare to return that man." Fambrough well remembers the Louisville contest last year, when an overconfident Yajawk team was embarrassed by the Cardinals in Memorial Stadium, 17-9. He doesn't want that to happen again. "USED TO BE you could go by the name." Membrayed for the opposing team. Mumbray said with mild sadness. The Indians were 2-5 last season, but are a much like KU—in the rebuilding stage. "I don't think this team will disappoint the fans," Coach Chaffey Lacewell said. "I think maturity, experience, strength, quickness, speed—things we have this year that we didn't have last year—will see to that." Especially experience. Lacewell said 36 players who started at least one game last season return this fall. Last year's Indian square was termed the longest team in the country. Lacewell, a former aide at Oklahoma, wiles intuitively the wishbone offense in Washington. “It’s not a cure-all, but I think it will enable us to take advantage of the things we do best—be physical and run the option. It means I know and something I believe in.” Oklahoma State A YOUNG Cowbys squad from Stillwater has Fambrough worried. "That team will be hungry," he said. The pressure's off. I'm scared of them. Oklahoma State's disappointment came from a 3-71 record. The Cowboys also field a young team—only 33 juniors and seniors in the league. Johnson is counting on improvement. "We have a lot of young players who are going to be quality Big Eight performers." Johnson said. "It's going to take a little time for these young men to mature but we expect them to reach the desired level faster than usual." The Cowboys have switched to an I-Information, led by quarterback John Dorner, a senior who broke his leg in the second game last season. That injury, coupled with injuries to three key defenses, forced Dorner to abandon State's base offense from a 74 record in 1970.
