Tuesday, November 21, 2000 The University Daily Kansan Section A · Page 5 Sports Allen reflects on season, reported assault incident Kansas running back David Winbush fumbles after a short gain against Iowa State's defense. The Jayhawks lost their final game of the season Saturday in Ames. 38-17. Photo by Aaron Lindberg/KANSAN By Jason Franchuk sports@kansas.com Kansas sportwriter More than the disappointment of concluding his fourth year as Kansas' football coach without going to a bowl game, Terry Allen is most upset with the reported off-season sexual assault incident that turned into a public relations nightmare for the program. "That's probably harder than any loss I've ever gone through," Allen said. "That's the one (topic) that has been hard for me because of my own personal integrity." Allen had his final press conference of the season yesterday. The 30-minute session delved into topics ranging from the 4-7 season to the program's future. The reported sexual assault took place in February. Allen allegedly had the two football players who were accused of assaulting a Kansas women's soccer player run stairs at Memorial Stadium as punishment. The flasco ended with no charges being pressed, although one player involved did transfer to Garden City Community College because of academic disqualification. The other player continued to play regularly during the season, which only fueled the public out-cry. Allen said he was not sure if anything could be done to rectify the situation. Now, he must focus on rectifying another subpar year at a school he thought he could turn into a post-season player the past two years. After a season-opening loss at Southern Methodist, critics already were calling for Allen's job, although he still has two years remaining on his contract. He has survived up to this point through full support of the athletics department — particularly athletics director Bob Frederick. Allen said he was sure the last two recruiting classes made for a promising future, although he said this season's junior college crop did not perform as well as expected. "That's been one of our disappointments," Allen said. Allen and players conceded that the heat was on. "We've got to come back next year," said junior cornerback Andrew Davison. "We need to beat the teams we're supposed to." Junior wide receiver Harrison Hill agreed. "We have to get something going for the future." Hill said. The Jayhawks, who have not been to a bowl game since 1995, are 18-27 with Allen as coach. Recent history offers hope that the best is yet to come for Kansas. Glen Mason, the coach prior to Allen, was 14-29 in his first four seasons at the University. His fifth, 1992, was the charm. Kansas went 8-4 and earned an Aloba Bowl berth. Kansas finished this season on a four-game losing streak and was blown out in the final three games by Nebraska, Texas and Iowa State. "To go four weeks losing like we did, we were probably at the lowest confidence level you could be," Allen said. Questions kept popping up yesterday about the SMU loss, which Kansas never could forget. Allen said he thought if Kansas would have won that game and still was bowl-eligible heading into the finale at Iowa State, the season would have ended more positively. "I'm still silly enough to believe if we were 5-5 going into Iowa State, it would have been a different outcome," he said, referring to Saturday's 38-17 loss in Ames, Iowa. Allen, forever the optimist, said getting six to eight juco players at offensive line and linebacker could improve the team a lot. He said he liked the group he had now, especially the redshirt freshmen and sophomores who would see more playing time next year. "I wish we could start spring football tonight," Allen said. But what Allen would like, most of all, is to keep Kansas' problems on the field. — Edited by Shawn Hutchinson FIRST DOUBLE Nu 15 Banksing 10 Penalty 5 Penalty 3 Banking Allitmpa 39 Yds.

Oklahoma (10-0, 7-0 Big 12 Conference) defeated stubborn Texas Tech (7-5, 3-5) 27-13 in Norman, Okla., clinching the Big 12 South Division title. K-State (10-2, 6-2) rallied from an early 14-0 deficit, overcoming Missouri (3-8, 2-6) 28-24 in Columbia, Mo., to capture the Big 12 North Division crown. The championship game will be 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. State. This past weekend, Oklahoma State trounced Baylor (2-9, 0-8) 50-22 in Stillwater, settling the question of the worst team in the Big 12 South Division. The Bears are stuck with that dubious honor and are the only team in the Big 12 without a conference win. The Sooners have one more regular-season game to play, but it will not affect the Big 12 South Division standings. Oklahoma will play Oklahoma State (3-7, 1-6) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. It is unlikely that the Cowboys will beat Oklahoma, and the Sooners are likely to carry the No. 1 label into the Big 12 Championship game against K- Oklahoma must defeat Oklahoma State and K-State to advance to the Bowl Championship Series National Championship game at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 3, at the FedEx Orange Bowl in Miami. 14. Oklahoma already owns a win against the Wildcats, defeating them 41-31 in Manhattan on Oct. If K-State wins, the team probably will not qualify for the BCS championship game but will be eligible for a BCS game. If the Wildcats lose, they will go to a less prestigious bowl. Three other bowl-eligible Big 12 teams have games remaining that could affect which team goes to which bowl. No. 9 Nebraska (8-2, 5-2) will play Colorado (3-7, 3-4) at 11 a.m. Friday in Lincoln, Neb. With a win, the Cornhuskers could qualify for a BCS bowl game. No. 22 Texas A&M (7-3, 5-2) and No. 12 Texas (8-2, 6-1) will battle at 2:30 p.m. Friday in Austin, Texas. Texas must win to qualify for a BCS bowl game. The Aggies already are ineligible for a BCS bowl because they cannot win the required nine games. — Edited by Amy Randolph Winter Graduation at Jayhawk Bookstore Place Orders now for the Best Selection VECBLE EDGE 1.49 Must order aminimum of 10 announcements Thank You Cards & Printed Notes.
