ever, the officials ruled that KU had 12 players on the field. Penn State capitalized on this costly mistake and won the game with a second-chance conversion.
The pipeline of great quarterbacks kept flowing to Kansas in the 1970s as Jaynes and a player from Ransom, Kan., named Nolan Cromwell led KU to two more bowls. Jaynes quarterbacked Kansas to a Liberty Bowl berth and No. 15 UPI ranking in 1973, while Cromwell ran KU's wishbone attack all the way to the Sun Bowl in 1975.
Cromwell was one of the greatest athletes in KU sports history. In his first game as a quarterback, the "Ransom Scramble" rushed for 294 yards against Oregon, setting an NCA quarterback single-game-rushing record, which was just broken this year. Cromwell also has held hostage in the NFL, where he became an ally with the Los Angeles Rams.
The 1980s will be most remembered by Jayahwang fans as the decade of the recordholders in Kansas football history. Frank Seurer and Mike Norseth continued the great quarterback tradition at Kansas, with Seurer becoming the all-time passker in KU. Norseth setting a KU and Big Eight single-game record with 400 yards in 1985.
Bucky Scribbler and Bruce Kallmeyer both set KU and Big Eight kicking records in the 1980s. Scribbler holds KU's season and career records for punting average. His total of 6,970 punting yards ranks first in Big Eight history.

record for the most points in a game by a kicker when he scored 21 points against him.
Other KU record holders in the 1980s include two players named Willem — Pless and Vaughn. Pless is the leading tackler in Kansas and Big Eight history. The leading tackler each year at KU now receives the Willie Pless Tackler of the Year award. Vaughn is KU's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yardage.
Building for the future
In the '90s, KU football coach Glen Mason dreams of the contagious excitement of KU basketball carrying over to Memorial Stadium. He said he envisioned Kansas football Saturday celebration, with KU contending regularly for the Big Eight championship.
The second half of the Oklahoma game this year was a "turning point" for KU football, Hadi had. He estimates Kansas will begin to challenge the Oklahomaans and Nebraskas for the Big Eight title in about six years.
"They're on the right track and the numbers are up now," Hadl said. "He (Mason) has eliminated the attrition rate. It is important, it is important to win six or seven games."
"There’s no reason to think we can’t catch up. Chancellor Budig and Bob Frederick want to have a good program. The support is the best it’s been in a long time."
With the increasing number of Kansas high school products available and Mason's firm commitment to build a solid program, the tradition of Kansas football should prosper in the 1990s. Future KU All-Americans will soon make a name for themselves in Kansas history alongside Evans, Hadl and Sayers — KU greats of yesteryear.
