Seattle got a run back in the second on Dave Henderson's 14th home run, a solo shot to right.

Florida State defensive tackle Isaac Williams puts pressure on Kansas quarterback Mike Norseth during the fourth quarter of the KU-FSU game. Norseth was eventually sacked for a loss of 10 yards on the play by Seminole defensive lineman Gerald Nichols. Norseth passed for 255 yards in the game, but Florida State won, 42-16.
Holloway's identity no longer a mysterv
By GREG DAMMAN
Sports Editor
In Kansas' season opener against Wichita State, No. 29 for the Jayhawks, a split end, caught three passes for 42 yards and one touchdown
Who was he? His name wasn't on his jersey, and he wasn't on the team last year.
"It was just a simple 16yard curl pattern," he said. "When I was in the air catching the ball I anticipated a hit by the time I reached the ground. But I didn't get hit, so I hesitated and the two defensive backs collided.
KU fans found out about No 29 — Johnny Holloway — in the Jayhawks 42-16 loss to Florida State Saturday. However, having his name freshly stitched onto his jersey had less to do with it than his performance on the field.
His touchdown catch allowed Kansas to go into the locker room at halftime trailing the nationally ranked Seminoles by just 10. Holloway described the play in detail.
Holloway caught a 70 yard touchdown pass and finished with 141 yards receiving on six catches. His receiving vardage was second highest in his single game total in KU history.
Fast indeed Florida State defenders were closing fast when Holloway caught the ball but he outraced them to the end of the field. This led to a grasp of one defender at the 10-vard line
"ITURNED AND saw daylight, so I ran
Fast."
Holloway's touchdown came just before halftime, and caused the Florida State defenders to cover him more tightly in the second half.
"He has great speed and great moves," Kansas quarterback Mike Norseth said. "He got us into the end zone."
"The second half they double-teamed me a couple of times, and they brought their corners (cornerbacks) up," he said. "A lot of times they called a pass to me."
but I couldn't run it because their defensive backs would read me."
He beat out Richard Estell, who was listed No. 1 on the spring depth chart, for the startling split end spit. Holloway said that the offense was confident going into the game.
Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said he impressed with the Kansas receivers
we did not have any doubt in our minds we could move the ball against them," he said. "It built up our confidence a great deal. I'm not taking anything away from Florida State, but we hurt ourselves in a lot of cases."
Holloway played at Northwestern University as a freshman, and at Butler County Community College as a sophomore. In August, he turned down offers from Tulane and Missouri and came to KU!
"THEY HAVE SOME great receivers who seem to catch anything that comes close to them," he said.
Holloway said that KU's inability to score touchdowns on its first two possessions was important, but not the determining factor in the game.
"It would have made a big difference." Holloway said. "It would have changed the momentum, but I wouldn't say it would have turned the whole game around."
He also mentioned KU penalties as a crucial part of the game.
"There's no doubt they hurt us," he said. "Wed get a first down, and then they'd bring it back with a penalty — and it kept happening again and again. That hurts a young team like us." JANHARK NOTE
JAYHAWK NOTES
Linebacker Wille Pless led Kansas in tackles with 11, eight unassisted. Lineman Phil Forte was next with seven tackles, six unassisted
The Jayhawks travel to Nashville, Teen, this weekend for a game against Vanderbilt. They will play against North Carolina at Chapel Hill, N.C. the following week. Kansas will not play at home until the Iowa state Game Oct. 6.
Coach Mike Gottfried knew exactly what his team needed to do to beat Florida State Saturday. He knew that his team would have to make the same effort up with the Seminoles, high-powered opponents.

'Hawks get yardage but FSU gets points
By GREG DAMMAN
Even though the Jayhawks had trouble scoring, KU ended the day with 462 yards of total offense Florida State, with All-America tailback Grainy Allen gained 133 rushing yards on 16 attempts, finished with 468 total yards. At halftime the 17th-ranked Seminoles were leading by a slim, four-point margin of 14-10.
As it turned out, putting' the ball in the end zone was the only thing his offense had trouble doing, as the Jayhawks lost to the Seminoles. 42-16.
"It was an offensive game where we'd move the ball and move the ball and couldn't score," Gottfried said. "Then they'd move the ball and score. That was the kind of game it was going to be. You have to match points, and we didn't match points."
THE KANSAS OFFENSE took the opening kickoff and drove to the Florida State six-yard line, capping the drive with a 31-yard field goal by Dodge Schwartzburg.
The Jayhawks also reached the Florida State 26-yard line and 11-yard line on their next two possessions. An interception and a goal, respectively, stopped the two drives.
"I'd like more points than I would yards." Gatfried said. "I'd like to get on the map."
Florida State capitalized on the interception with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Eric Thomas to Hassan Jones, and took the lead, 7-3. The Seminoles also scored after the missed field goal, benefiting from a 40-yard run by fullback Cletis Jones, and led 14-3.
"Once we got inside the 30-yard line we couldn't get it out," Gatfield said. "You can go down one time and throw an interception, and then go down another time and miss a catch."
Quarterback Mike Norseth said, "We did a good job offensively at first. We got the ball down in scoring position, but we just couldn't reach it." The referees were on that and do that a little better job next week."
Norseth completed 18 of 32 passes for 255 yards and one interception. He was also able to scramble for 50 yards rushing on 11 attempts. His scrambling was more effective in the first half, when he had 5t yards on five attempts.
"There were a couple of times when some holes were there and I was able to scramble and pick up some yardage." Norsseth said, "I had to carry it out until you, what you just want to do that when you have to..."
'I probably ran a little too much today coming out of the pocket. They'd rather have me in there.'
Just before halftime, Kansas defender
David Smith forced a Florida State fumble on the KU four-yard line. The Jayhawks moved to the KU 30-yard line before Norseman scored a touchdown for a thrilling 70-yard touchdown pass.
"IT WAS JUST a simple 16-yard curf
pattern." Holloway said. "They played us
awful loose the first half. I guess they were
afraid of the deep ball."
Florida State coach Boby Bowden said he was impressed with KU's passing offense
The score remained at 14-10 until 3:58
remained in the third quarter when Cleitis
Jones scored on a one-yard run, making the
score 21-10.
Gottried was more upset with KU penalties on Florida State's first drive after
On KU's next possession, punter Tom Becker fumbled a snap and was tacked on the Florida State 15-yard line. The Serrinoles scored a touchdown, and then blocked Becker's on KU's next possession and carried it in for another touchdown.
"That happened real quick, and all it did was blow it open," Gottried said. "We couldn't stop them, so I didn't know if it was as big of a thing as us just not stopping
"The one drive we were just down 11 and we get two 15-yard penalties," he said. "Not being able to stop them, and then moving closer yourself is not the best thing to do."
FULLBACK LYNN WILLIAMS scored on a 14-yard foot with 9:30 left in the game. Norseth's pass attempt for a two-point conversion was incomplete, leaving the score at 35-16.
we were moving the ball well, but we swear ourselves, or worse said. They didn't believe us.
Florida State's final touchdown came on a yard run by Allen, making the score 74-6.
"He's good," Gottfried said. "They have several different backs that are good. Allen is good. When you have a guy like Allen, it opens things up for the other backs."
KANSAS' NEXT GAME will be Sept 22 against Vanderbilt at Nashville, Tenn.
Norseth said, "We haven't looked at them yet. We'll have to see what they do. We know they're a good team, but we're a good team too, so it should be a good game."
"We have to look at things now and just piece together what is good and what was bad and get ready for the next team." Gottfried said.
Defensive lineman Phil Forte said that he
had improved since the Wichita State state.
I feel we're a better team this week than we were last week," he said. "We're not as bad as some people think we are."
Mistakes costly for defense

Saturday's 42-16 whipping at the hands of nationally ranked Florida State left members of KU's young, undermanned defense somewhat bewildered and disappointed, but encouraged at the same time.
"This game gave us some confidence," linebacker Willie Pleas, who led the KU defense with 11 tackles, said after the game. "It made us a better ball team."
Defensive guard Phil Forte said, "You look at the score, 42-16, and it just doesn't seem that we got beat that bad. We just had some crucial mistakes in the second half that hurt us."
The Jayhawks played the Seminoles virtually even in the first half, and went in at halftime training 14-10. But Florida State touchdowns on a bench were not enough to win, so SKU keeling to defeat
"At the beginning of the game, we were just approaching them as another team, but it seemed like, when we fell behind in the second half, the team started doubting itself," defensive tackle Jeff Anderson said.
KU GAVE THE Seminoles two touchdowns in the second half. Punter Tom Becker fumbled a snap from center on one kick and Florida State recovered on the KU 15-yard line. He had his next kick blocked and returned for a touchdown.
he may have been nervous, but he'll bounce back." Anderson said. "He's a good punter. It just like when you fall off a horse. You've got to bounce right up and get on
KU's defense had problems containing Florida State's running attack, which was led by tailback and Heisman Trophy candidate Greg Allen. He broke Florida School record in rushing, all purpose yardage and scoring on his way to a 133-yard rushing day after being held to 47 yards in the first half.
KU players said the Seminole offensive scheme helped Allen and tullback Cletas Jones, who had a career high 114 yards, spring loose for vardage.
"Their whole offensive scheme was to have Allen line up as deep as possible in the backfield and let him pick his spots," linebacker Rick Bredesen said. "If we were overpursuing, he was very good at cutting back."
Pless said, "You've got to give some credit to Florida State. They had a great offensive line. They did a good job of hiring out on us, but it wasn't that bad, we would cut back off the offensive line's blocks."
Forte said. "When you have a good back like they do, you must let him pick his hole."
Sometimes the Jayhawks were able to foil that strategy. Six of Allen's 16 carries were for two yards or less, but five of them went for 10 or more yards.
"WE MISSED A lot of tackles." Forte said. "I know myself, I missed a few. We were in position and hustling. We were running to the ball — we weren't getting blown off. It's something we'll have to work on. We'll get better. We will not quit."
Bredesen agreed with Forte, and said,
"For the defense as a whole, this game was a good experience for us. We can't give up.
We'll bounce back from this."
Softball team tops, ties Wildcats

The women's softball team struggled on offense and had some costly defensive errors, but still came out of a tripleheader game. The Coyotes defeated the Sports Complex with two ties and a victory.
The teams played three five inning games. The first game was a 3-3 tie, the second was a 0-0 tie and the third was won by the Javihawks, 2-0.
Tracy Bunge pitched all 15 innings for the Jayhawks because Kim Tisdale is still out with a strained knee Head Coach Bob Stancliff said Tisdale could be back for tomorrow's double-header at Johnson County Community College.
Bunge shut out the Wildcats in the last two games.
"This is the most innings she has thrown this fall." Stanciff said "The big difference from when we started this fall is that she is just as strong and threw probably even better the last five innings than she did the first five innings."
Hunge finished the day using an off speed drop ball that she didn't use in the first two games.
"It is a new pitch for her and it makes all the other pitches a little more effective." Stanchiff said.
Stancliff said that he was pleased with the defensive play of the team, except for a series of errors in the first game that resulted in three unearned runs for the Wildcats.
