Sooners weaker, and not a Lott
BY LEON UNRUH Sports Editor

Three Oklahoma starters—including quarterback Thomas Lott—won't play tomorrow because of injuries. But their defense needed to give the Jawahres a much of a break.
OU has long been rumored to have the best two teams in the NCAA with its first and second strings. Whichever one has been playing this season, the Sooners have a 5-0 record, 1-0 in Big Eight and a No. 1 ranking in the country.

Massing from their ranks besides Lott will be fullback Kenny King and slieve Stone

"I can't see that the injuries they have will be that big a dropoff from the first
unit," KU head coach Bud Moore said. "They still have speed and quickness."
Replacing Lott will be J. C. Watt, who has 84 yards running, 96 passing and three touchdowns in the game. He balanced at Haliakaw Billy Sims leads the team with 551 yards and a 7-4 yard per carry average. Counterpart David Overstreet is behind it and King with 188 yards and a 7-4 yard per carry average.

THERE ARE FOUR All-Americans back from last year. Bie Bright champion team.
Offensive guard Greg Roberta was OU's best offensive player last week, breaking a goal.
KU, which has had trouble running outside and inside in its 14 season, may run into the same problems again in the 1:30 n.m. game in Memorial Stadium.
At linebacker are Sooners George Cumby and Daryl Hunt and at nondue guard is Rogge
The Jayhawks may not have their regular nose guard, John Algee, for the second week. Moore said yesterday that he might be going to a pullup and a pulled groin muscle a couple of weeks ago.
KU starters this week who weren't starters last week are halfback Mike Higgins, strong cornerback Delvin Milner and most importantly the infamous Higgins is a junior, the two others sophomores.
KU HAD ITS best offensive day of the season against Colorado last week, but Oklahoma didn't play too badly in its 31-0 victory over Texas.
Sims, for example, had 131 yards on 25 carries and scored twice. He's still the best rusher in the Big Eight with 515 yards and nine TDs.
As a team, the Sooners are No. 1 in
rushing nationally, with 414 yards. No. 2 in
rushing nationally, with 395 yards.
Kansas may be taking some more cracks at the wristbone, the offense that OU made on Sunday.
Harry Sydney, who took over at quarterback last week, will stay there, maybe running some wishbone plays that were last tested last week after a year's dormancy.
