Defense flags Jayhawks' victory

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Rebounding after sub-par performances against Oklahoma and Kansas State, the Kansas defense stiffed Missouri's attack on Saturday, particularly in the second half.
The Jayhawks came home from Columbia, Mo., with an unexpected Big 12 Conference road triumph, dominating the Tigers 38-17
Kansas coach Terry Allen said he was pleased with the defense's performance.
"I thought our defense played exceptionally well," he said. "Our defense totally controlled the football game, and then we stayed
together as a football team."
Allen added that the key to the lopsided score was a strong finish as the Jayhawks physically dominated the Tigers in the second half.
"One of the things that we were critical of ourselves about was that we weren't physical enough, and we weren't tough enough," he said. "We were the more physical and the tougher team in the second half today."
Carl Nesmith, senior free safety and co-captain, said this week's practice prepared the Jayhawks to stop the Missouri offense.
"We pretty much knew, coming into the game, (if) we could stop their rushing game we would be successful because they had a
freshman quarterback," he said. "We didn't think that he can win by throwing the ball. So we figured if we could stop the rush, then we had a good chance to win."
Nate Dwyer said the defense thought they could stifle the Tiger attack.
"We knew they couldn't run against us, and we knew they couldn't pass against us," he said. "And I think they kind of knew it, too. You could see it in their eyes just coming out on the field. They were hesitant, and they were scared. So I think we had them beat from the get-go."
Dwyer said the defense had studied the Tiger linemen and worked on tactics to handle them.
"We studied a lot of tape on their offensive linemen and things we can do to beat them, and it worked," he said. "All the studying paid off."
Senior linebacker and co-captain Tim Bowers, who intercepted a pass and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown, said what he learned in practice prepared him to make the interception.
"I saw a guy run across my face, and what we go over in practice is the majority of the time, if somebody's crossing your face, somebody else is coming behind you," he said. "So I just happened to (be there) at the right time and got lucky and caught the ball."
