KU used an ineligible player, Bert Coan,
and forced Kansas to forfeit the game.
Despite failing to win the Big Eight title and going to the Orange Bowl, Hadl recalled the Missouri game as his most memorable moment as a Jawhawk.
"They've always been our biggest rival," he said. "It was a big win for us."
After earning All-American honors as a halfback in 1960, Hadi displayed his multi-dimensional talents by receiving All-American recognition the following year as a quarterback. Hadl would cherish some more memorable moments that year, as he guided Kansas to a No. 15 United Press International ranking and a Bluebonnet Bowl game against Rice. With KU down 7-4, Hadl threw two touchdowns and ran 41 yards to set up a touchdown. Kansas never looked back in marching to its first and only bowl victory.
Perhaps the two players most synonymous with Kansas football are Hadi and Sayers. Hadil not only excelled as a running back and quarterback, he also led the NCAA in punting in 1959. He holds the NCAA record for the third-longest punt with 94 yards and also has the longest pass interception and kickoff return in KU history.
A member of the 1983 all-time KU team, Hadl had a tremendous professional football career, retiring as the third leading passer in National Football League history.
From 1962 to 1964, Kansas fans saw a once-in-a-lifetime player in Sayers. Combining a running style of power and grace, Sayals gulped, rushed and eluded defenders as well as any running back who has played for the team. American in 1963 and 1964 and holds the NCAA record for the longest run from scrimmage with 99 yards.
Sayers is the second leading rusher in Kansas history and is a member of the 1969 all-time KU team. Along with McCormack, Sayers is enshrined in the pro-football hall
Despite an injury-plagued professional career with the Chicago Bears, Sayers held six NFL and 16 team records when he retired at 28. With his great accomplishments, Sayers left a lasting imprint on football history.
The late sportswriter Red Smith said although Sayers "w wasn't a brusier like Jimmy Brown, he could slice through the middle like a warm knife through butter. But he was wrong, him that still sets him apart from the other great running backs in pro-football."
Kansas continued its rich tradition through the late '60s and 1970s with the arrival of three All Americans — Bobby Douglas, John Zook and David Jaynes. Kansas also featured a sophomore by the name of John Riggins. Riggs was an all-star for the NL, winning 15 seasons in the NL, earning MVP as a Washington Redskin in the 1985 Super Bowl.
The 1968 team won the Big Eight championship and was ranked No. 6 by UPI, which was KU's highest ranking of all time. Douglass and Zook also became the first two KU All-Americans on the same team since Evans and Schnellbacher in 1947.
With Douglass quarterbacking the team and Zook anchoring the defense, Kansas went on to play in the 1969 Orange Bowl. In the never-to-be-forgotten 'Twelfth Man' game, the Wildcats stopped seconds left in the game, Kansas stopped Penn State's two-point conversion. How-
