16 University Daily Kansan Sports Friday, Sept. 20, 1985 Mizzou plays No.19 Texas United Press International The University of Texas does not figure to provide a very friendly recovery room for the ailing Missouri Tigers. Coach Woody Widenhore's debut as the head coach of Missouri was a disaster last week as his Big Eight Tigers were shocked at home by Northwestern, 27-24. Missouri fell behind 17-0 in the first half and never recovered against a Big Ten team that entered the game as a 26-point underdog. So Widenhofer must take his quest for his first collegiate victory to Texas Saturday night when Missouri will play the No. 19 Longhorns. Texas will be opening the season against Missouri and the Longhorns have not lost an opener since 1966. Texas has an 83-9 all-time record in season openers and will be eager to erase the embarrassment of its most recent game — a humiliating 55-17 loss to Iowa in the Freedom Bowl last December. "Texas was No.1 in the nation for awhile last season," Wendhofer said. "But they lost four of their last five games and they must be chomping at the bit to get the season underway. I'm sure they're looking forward to playing us." The Longhorns now hold an 8-4 advantage in the series. The Tigers have not scored against Texas since 1945 — having lost 42-0 in 1946, 21-0 in 1979 and 21-0 in 1982. Texas returns 15 starters plus its all-Southwest Conference kicking tandem of Jeff Ward and John Teltschik from a team that finished 7-4-1 year ago. Missouri returns 10 starters, including quarterback Marlon Adler, from a team that finished 3-7-1 in 1984. Adler threw for 318 yards against Northwestern. "I think we can beat Texas," Widenhofer said. "We will be much more settled down than last week but we've got to get our confidence and our poise." In other nonconference games involving Big Eight schools, No. 17 Nebraska hosts Illinois, No. 5 Ohio State visits Colorado, Texas Christian is at Kansas State, Indiana State travels to Kansas and Vanderbilt is at Iowa State. Nebraska has not opened a season with two consecutive losses since 1957 but the Cornhuskers are half way there following a 17-13 loss to No. 6 Florida State. Illinois, another presseason Top 10 pick, is having its own problems. The Illini was upset in its opener, 20-10 to Southern Cal, and then barely escaped lightly-regarded Southern Illinois, 28-25. Colorado will be looking for its first 3-0 start since 1978 but the Buffaloes are already in the dividend portion of their schedule. The two wins are one more than Colorado was able to post in 1984. Lee Moon will make his head coaching debut for Kansas State, having replaced Jim Dickey earlier this week following losses to Wichita State and Northern Iowa in the opening two games, while Kansas will host an Missouri Valley team that has qualified for the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs the last two years. Vanderbilt gets a quick chance for revenge in the Big Eight when the Commodores visit Iowa State. Vanderbilt was drilled by Kansas last week, 42-16, when Jayhawk quarterback Mike Norseth threw for 480 yards. "Wanderbilt had problems adjusting to all the different formations and sets of Kansas," Iowa State Coach Jim Criner said. Sports Almanac East W L W. Pct.
