The first of five Kansas touchdowns came on an 11-yard run by quarterback Chip Hilleary after a blocked punt by fullback Roger Robben. It was Hillearty's first collegiate touchdown.
"We needed a turnover to get the offense going, and we had good field position after that," Robben said. "Nobody blocked me; nobody even touched me." But because I didn't want to run into the pitcher and it hit in the tricep.

In the third quarter Stubblebee got his second sack, and Hilleary threw his second touchdown. In the fourth quarter Stubblebee got his third sack against Oregon State's second quarterback.
When it was all over, Hilleary had completed eight of 13 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns and had rushed 10 times for 41 yards.
Stubblefield finished the day with seven tackles, four leading to 20 vards in losses
Kansas coach Glen Mason said he was pleasantly surprised by Hilleary's performance.
"Chip Hillery continues to perform above my expectations," Mason said after the game. "I've played better, run or throw great, but he's tough."
Hilleary credited his performance to the offensive line.
"Basically the offensive line opened the rush and the pass," he said. "I was getting a lot of time back there, and our game plan worked
really well.
Stubblefield anchored a defense that amassed eight sacks and four other negative yardage plays while the Beavers to 244 yards total offense.
"We lost a lot of credit last week. We just let our playing do the talking this week."
Stubblefield said he was not surprised by Kansas' domination of the game.
"I knew on the first play how the game was going to go for the defensive line," he said. "It was the way they came off the ball and the way I got hit. They didn't hit as hard as I expected."
Mason said Stubblefield had played well despite the Beavers' determination to stop him.

"Sometimes he would get the sacks, and other times it seemed like three guys were trying to block him. He came off the field at one time, and I asked him if they were holding him. He said, 'No, Coach, they're tacking me.'"

two games to one before pulling even and then squeaking out the final game, 15-13.
Albitz said the team's slow start was a continuation of poor play from the previous week's tournament.
"It's like they've been asleep for the last three matches." Albitz said.
"It goes back to the Tulsa game."
It goes back to the Tusla game.
Kansas played Tulsa in the final match of the Jayhawk Early Bird Tournament.
Albizt said the team pulled together for Saturday night's match against Illinois Chicago. The Jayhaws swept Illinois Chicago to 4-0.
"They were back with me tonight," she said after the match.
Senior hitter April Chavey, who was named most valuable player of
the tournament, said the problem in the first two matches was a lack of communication.
"When we talk, we play well," Chavey said. "That first match, we just weren't communicating."
Also named to the all-tournament team were junior Julie Woodruff and sophomore Kim DeHoff.
Kansas' next match is Friday when it faces Marquette in the opening round of the Western Illinois Tournament.
Execution gets better on gridiron
Last week, I said the thing we needed to improve on most was execution. We did.
Going into the game, we knew we had to execute to be successful. We figured it wouldn't matter much what Oregon State did, as long as we
bv CHIP BUDDE
did the things we were capable or
doing. In most games, it's not so
much who you play, but how you
play. We played pretty well.
Saturday's game was possibly the best game I've seen a Kansas队 play since I've been here. In every game, our offense, defense, kicking game — all of them took few minutes, we could tell we had a chance to have a good game. The defense stopped Oregon State deep in their territory. Roger Robben blocked the punt, and our offense put it over the scoreboard. We were pumped up.
The play of our defense was particularly impressive. "The Dogs," as the defensive linemen call themselves, really earned their bones on Saturday. When the line can put that much pressure on an offense it, the defensive players can backers can run unimposed to the ball. Defensive背acks can intercept hurried passes. The whole defense does well. The whole team does well. One of the happy side effects of the defense's play on Saturday was field position. By keeping the Heavens pinned back deep, our offense had been able to score.
For a change, we were on the winning side of the turnover ratio. After the way we played in the first half, we knew we could force Oregon State to win. We got second half. The defense went near the third quarter looking to force turnovers. The first one set up the touchdown that put us up 28-0 and forced Oregon State to change its game plan I can tell you from the first quarter. Our fourth touchdown deficit is not fun. You are forced to run plays that you may not have wanted to run. Oregon State began to run high-risk plays in hopes of a quick score or a change of momentum. They didn't connect and they destroyed our shutout hopes, by time it was too little, too late.
Another thing I was happy about on Saturday was that a lot of players saw action. Practice isn't much fun, and it's tough for guys to work all week and not get a chance to play on Saturday. I had a great time standing on the sideline and cheering with the team as they went down the field on the final drive. I hope we have more moments like that during the season.
This week we start our four-week road trip with a game at Louisville. With an open date in the middle of the week, you can play before we play at home again
Louisville is coming off a 68-0 victory against Murray State. Last year, a handful of errors cost us an upset against an unprepared Louisville team. I think this year they'll be ready. Now we have to get ready.

Cross Country
Junior Stewart Gillin, was the first Jayhawk to cross the finish line with a time of 26:06.64, placing him second in the men's 8-kilometer race.
Cross country is scored by the top five runners on each team. A perfect score would be 15 — the top five runners placing first through fifth.
Although he ran a personal best on the course by 10 seconds, Gillin said he thought he could have run better.
"My legs were flat, and I had a lot of allergy problems," he said. "I was really pleased with the team."
The sweltering heat of the past few
weeks let up during Saturday's race, but the humidity remained high. The athletes were relieved, however, with the milder temperatures.
Junior Cathy Palacios was the first female finisher from Kansas. She placed second in the women's 5-kilometer race with a time of 19:32.
Palacios, a transfer from Southeast Missouri State University last year, sat out last season under transfer rules and was not able to run until this year. She said she had run the game and was happy with her time and the lower league.
"I want to use it as a stepping stone for races to come," she said. "My other goal is to stay healthy."
Palacios finished behind Southern Illinois' LeeAnn Conn Abb by 19 seconds. Jayhawk sophomore Cindy Lewis was third with a time of 19:43.
The top male finisher was Mark Stuart of Southern Illinois with a time of 25:45. Kansas freshman Michael Cox finished 0.93 seconds behind Gilin for third place with a time of 26:00.99.
Assistant coach Steve Guymon said he was pleased with the teams' performances
"I thought they did really well." he
said. "I was really proud of both the men and women."
He pointed out that all of the freshmen had good performances. Two of the top five finishes from the team and David Johnston, were freshmen.
Guymon said it was not an easy race for Kansas.
Guymon also said that the course record was unofficially broken by one second by Southern Illinois' Stuart.
"At the four mile mark, SIU was leading us," he said. "I could see the guys were hurting. They fought through a lot of pain and they did
"Compare last year to this year,
we're right up there. We're younger,
but the younger ones are the ones
who really picked it up."
Of the women, Guyim praised Palacios' performance and said Lewis and redshirt freshman Rebecca Smith also had good races.
"I'm not real concerned with their right now," he said. "We wanted to do our best this week and next week do a little better. All we're concerned with is to prepare for the end of the year.
