Page 16 University Daily Kansan, October 28, 1981 Confidence boosts quarterback Seurer seventh on passing list By TRACEE HAMILTON Sports Editor Frank Seurer is ready for Saturday's Nebraska game. A few weeks ago, he wasn't so sure. Seurer, who quarterbacked the Jayhawks as a freshman last season, was having a less-than-spectacular year until the Oklahoma game two weeks ago. Despite a 45-7 loss to the Sooners, Seurer got on track. "THINGS WEREN't going well for me," Seurer said yesterday. "It was frustrating for me. But in the OU game, I went back." Everything was clicking." Cucketed well for Seurer in last Saturday's 17-14 victory over K-State. The Huntington Beach, Calif., sophomore completed 12 of 16 passes for 180 yards. The yardage was good to put Seurer in seventh place on the KU all-time passing list with 1,482 yards. Records were far from Seurer's mind at the beginning of the year. In the first game against Tulsa, Seurer three four interceptions, and it was obvious his play lacked the sureness of the previous season. Most of the sluggishness would fade. It didn't. "I was not to the point where I was giving up, but I was discouraged," Seurer said. "When you know the people and the game plan, and you know there and things aren't working, you start to wonder what it is going to take." "It's a 100-percent better feeling now." PART OF Seurer's early impatience was due in part to an injury to tailback Kerwin Bell, who, in addition to being a graduate of the backfield, is also a close friend. "For me, personally, it was hard to see him go," Seurer said. "He's the type of runner you never expect to get out of it when went down, it shocked a lot of people." "But I think we overcame that with Dino." Kerwin's younger brother, Dino, was moved from cornerback to tailback. Seurer and Dino played together at halfback. Kerwin came backfield. Bell was a defensive back. "I was him play at tailback last year at Edison, "Seer said." I knew he had the quickness. Everyone knew him as a brother. He's proved himself now." Seurer, too, had to prove himself as a freshman. He came off the bench in the Jayhawks' first game of last season against Oregon and led KU to the tying touchdown. His long-range, accurate wrist arm earned him the startposing arm earned him the startposing THE SHOTGUN offense was added to the KU playbook this season to showcase Sentry's passing ability, but in other ways, it allowed the play gradually became scarier. "Defenses knew we had that," Seurer said. "A lot of the defenses we saw on film would see the shotgun and drop into a prevent defense. We thought it would be best not to show the pass so early." Seurer's arm was aided Saturday by the sure hands of his primary receivers, Wayne Capers, Bob Johnson and Russ Bastin. "Russ Bastin had one heck of a game," Seuer said. "He's the type that doesn't concentrate on anything but catch the ball. In球 situation, like third-and-6, third-and-7, you'll see him. He's a clutch receiver." Seurer said his confidence couldn't have returned at a better time—right before the Nebraaska contest in Lincoln. "If you go into a game against an Oklahoma or Nebraska with any doubts, you're in trouble," he said. JAYHAWK NOTEES: Head Coach Don Fambrigha said yesterday that the Jayhawks had suffered few injuries in Saturday's 17-14 victory over K-State. "Dino (Bell) has got a sore foot," Fambrouch said. "But he shows much improvement. Kyle (McNorton) is 100 better today than at this time last week." "We've got a couple banged up in the junior varsity game yesterday, but everybody on the traveling squad should be ready to go." Fambrough said he didn't know if fullback Brad Butts, who has a pulled hamstring, would be ready for Saturday's game against Nebraska. “It's still touch-and-go,” he said. The Jahawkjay junior varsity tied K-State's JV team Monday in Manhattan, 14-14.
