MIAMI — Kansas coach Glen Mason pulsed quarterback Chip Hieraly ease after the Jahwayks' first possession in their 34-0 loss to the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday and told him that he was done for the day.

Mason said he could tell from the watch in Hillary's eyes that he was not 100 percent recovered from a broken leg and remained during the Iowa State game.
After Mason pulled him, Hilleary's eyes reflected the anger and frustration he felt. He had just driven the Jayhawks 40 yards downfield and put them in position to score on Miami's 1-yard line.
It ended up being the deepest position of the day for Kansas, however, because freshman quarterback Korrelle forcelt could it get the offense moving.
Florent completed nine of 18 passes for 90 yards and rushed for 13 yards, but the Miami defense was too strong for a quarterback whose introduction to college football began Saturday by a team with the No. 2 ranked team in the nation.
Florell, who played only a few downs in two earlier games this season, said he wouldn't have traded for experience for anything in the world.
"My coaches told me not to take anything from anybody." Florrell said. "I thought it was a great opportunity, and one day, I'll look on it and say it made me a hell of a lot better football player."
Florell said a combination of
nerves and bad execution kept the Javhawks from scoring.
"I thought I made the right checks, but I just couldn't execute," Florleli said. "My nerves settled down after the third series, and I was angry at myself. I just made some dumb mistakes today."
Two of the Hurricanes' scoring drives came off of Florell interceptions.
Kansas kept Miami scoreless through the first quarter for the first time this season. But then the Hurricanes scored on six consecutive possessions in the second and third quarters.
Center Chip Budde said the offensive line had to take some of the blame for the dayhawks' inability to carry through five times for a total loss of 27 yards.
During those Miami drives, the Kansas defense tightened up and forced the Hurricanes to kick two field goals.
The Jayhawks held running back Ste McGuire to 12 yards rushing but gave up 229 yards and one touchdown to quarterback Craig Erickson.
If the other team recovers, the ball is spotted at the point of the fumble.
Offensively, frustration for the Jayhaws started from their first drive when running back Tony Sands tumbled the ball in the end zone. Although the ball was recovered by Budde, a touchdown was not allowed.
Cornberck Hassan Bailey made his second interception of the season when he picked off a pass from Gino Torretta in the third quarter.
But the Hurricanes were awarded the ball on their 20-yard line. Kansas coach Glen Mason said he told the ball that the ball was spotted incorrectly.
"The ref yelled尔 me at saying, 'You're wrong, you don't know the rules.'" Mason said. "When he admitted he was wrong at halftime, he didn't say anything to me. What are we paying these guys for?"
If a team fumbles inside the fiveyard line on fourth down, the only player who can recover it for the offense is the player who fumbled it.
Tempers flared even before the game for the Jayhawks, when the Hurricanes pushed through the area were warming up. Kansas players were warming up.
A fight started, and safety Charley Bowen caught an elbow in the helmet from a Miami player. Wide receiver Jim New, who popped his shoulder out of place later in the game, said he was afraid of being trampled.
you're on the turf looking up at 56 guys in pads fighting it out, it's kind of scary."

Dennis Erickson after helping break up the fight and told him that intimidation had no place in college athletics.
"They are the most arrogant team in the nation." New said. "When
"If you're tough, you won't be intimidated," Mason said. "I've got tough kids because I run a tough team. We won't be intimidated by anyone."
Chiefs trample Detroit 43-24; KC's Word gains 200 yards
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo — While Christian Okeye and Barry Sanders were finishing first and second in last year's NFL rushing derby. Barry Word was working for a telephone company, had a prison term on his record and his football career was apparently over.
But yesterday, while the two All-Pros were combining for 181 yards rushing. Record was piling up a team record 200 yards, leading Kansas City to a 43-24 rout of Sanders Detroit Lions
"I've never had a day like this," said Word, who spent four and a half months in prison in 1960 on charges of insider trading. "That's why I don't know how to feel."
I knew I was capable if I just got a chance."
In the first quarter, as Sanders' taking and juking staked the Lions to a 14-3 lead, the sell-out crowd of 77,937 Chiefs fans were equally amazed. A Wichita native who made his professional debut last year in Kansas City, Sanders took a screen pass from Brandon Brown to be tackled on an untruck 47 yard scoring play, his longest as a pro.
"He is the best running back I've ever seen. Period," said Chiefs defensive end Bill Maas.
A few minutes after taking a 7-3 lead, the Lions went up 14-3 when Sanders capped a 60-yard drive with a rubbery-bledged 13-yard scoring
sprint.
But Steve DeBerg's yard touch-down pass to Jonathan Hayes got the Chiefs rolling. After taking a 17-14 halftime lead, Kansas City (4:2) took complete command of the Lions (2:4) in the second半斗, piling up 566 yards in total offense, second-highest in team history. The 43 points were the most by Kansas City in five years. Word's 209 yards were 7 better than the club record set in 1981 by the late Joe Delaune.
World's big day came on just 18
carries, including a 45-yard run in
the third period and a career-best 33
score of bursting in the fourth
quarter.
Word scored the final touchdown on a 1-yard run.

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's tennis team upheld the traditional Kansas Kansas State rivalry this weekend, defeating K State 7-2 in a dual match.
"I think it's always exciting to play a school that is so close to us. There's a rivalry there." Coach Michael Center said. "They only have a women's team now, and they've turned into a competitive team."
Center said he was pleased with the women's performances.
"I think overall we played really well," Center said. "I think we can improve our level of concentration throughout some of the matches. I think we need to be a little steeder, and we do games with playing more matches."
Raychaudhuri defeated Theresa Burcham in the No. 2 singles. 7-6, 2-1 In the No. 1, doubles, Raychaudhuri and junior Eveline Hammers defeated Angie Gover and Michele Riniker 6-4, 4-2, 6-2.
Junior Renee Raychaudhuri also said she thought Kansas let a few matches get away.
"Eveline and I won in three sets, but I think it should have been two," she said. "I think maybe we should have won a little easier."
Hamers, a two-time All-American, is the ninth-ranked player in the nation in the Volvo Tennis/Collegiate Rankings. She also played Rinker in the No. 1 singles, and defeated her 7-5, 6-2.

Rinker, from Unterkursin, Austria, is a newcomer to the K-State team. This was the first time she and Hamers had played. Several members of the team saw Rinker play in the quadrangular match in Mahathi Stadium. Hamers did not compete in that match and had never seen Rinker play.
"I played her last weekend and she's a good player," said Laura Hagemann, junior. "She's a good player, and she has a lot of talent. But I don't think Eveline had any problem with her."
Hagenmann won the No. 4 singles defeating Suzanne Sim 6-1, 6-2. In doubles, Hagenmann and freshman Tracy Burcham of Burcham and Tracy Parker 6-0, 6-0.
Senior Stacy Stotts lost in the No. 5 singles to Angie Gover 6-2, 6-1.
In the 'No 3 singles, freshman Chris Bowers defeated Neil Wilcox 6-4, 2-6, 6-1. In doubles, Bowers and Chris Bowers last lost to Sim and Wilcox 6-4, 2-6, 6-1.
Freshman Abby Woods defeated Parker in the No. 6 singles 3, 6-3.
Impressive Hurricanes do it again
On our way home from Miami somewhere in the sky between Memphis, Tenn. and St. Louis, our charter plane developed engine trouble, and the pilots had to shut down one engine. We had to make an emergency landing in St. Louis (crash position) and get another plane to continue the flight to Topeka. All of this followed a game in which much the same happened; we got off to a good start, but couldn't keep going.
No one had to tell us that Miami was a good team. They have out standing quickness and队 speed! have no doubt that they will be playing for the national championship again this year.
We also knew that Miami would have to make some mistakes for us to win. And, like the quality football team that they are, they didn't make many.
I still believe we could have moved the ball quite a bit better than we did. The first series showed we could run the ball on their defense. Miami had given up an average of 50 yards a game on the ground during its first four games. We were only a few yards short of that after our first possession. Unfortunately, we couldn't do much after that.
We switched quarterbacks after the first series. Many will blame that move for our inability to move the ball consistently after the opening drive. They're wrong. As the old saying goes, a football game is won or lost in the trenches, and the offensive line, myself especially, didn't produce a winning performance.
We knew we had to establish the running game to be successful. We ran well against Oklahoma and dominated the game. To stay in the game against Miami, we had to do the same thing our game plan, but we just didn't execute
Our defense did a good job against a strong Miami offense. They held the Hurricanes scoreless during the first quarter — something no other team had been able to do this year. They missed all 10 shots of the game and never gave in. Twice Miami was forced to settle for field goals inside the 15-yard line.
This Saturday we return to Memorial Stadium against Colorado. The Buffaloae beat Iowa State 28-12 on Saturday. Their defense held Heis man Trophy candidate Blaise Bryant to 34 yards rushing.
After the tough road schedule we've had, it will be nice to see friendly faces.
Miami has always been known as a vocal team. We knew they would try to intimidate us. I don't think that happened. Even before the game, we had a lot of fun play in the next few years, teams will have to prove it to Kansas.
