Injuries, 4th straight loss steal Fambrough's sleep

Fambrueau
Saturday, his team had lost again, 17-16 to
colorado, and he didn't get much sleep.
He's got a headache.
Of course, Fambrough should be used to it by now. The Colorado loss was the Jayawacks fourth in a row, which meant a straight dreary Sunday for Fambrough.
The Jaywhacks seem to keep finding new ways to lose and Saturday was no exception. Although Colorado dominated the entire second half, two key plays—one in which a
tackle was applied too well and another in which a tackle wasn't applied at all—
The first play occurred just two plays before half-time when KU quarterback Scott McMichael was knocked silly when he was hit on the head by a Colorado player after a tackle in motion. He couldn't even remember where he was sitting on the bench the rest of the game.
Freshman Melvin Barrens played the second half, but the offense fell apart without McMichael. The Hawks, who had gained 262 yards in the first half and led 13-0 at halftime, could only pick up 27 in the second.
"We tried to be conservative and tried to
help him (Barrens)," Fambrough said. "They realized what we were doing. We thought we could move it well enough to protect our lead, but we couldn't.
"We felt Barrens was the best we had. He has quickness and can throw the ball pretty well."
Colorado, knowing McMichael was hurt, carve saline. The Buffalo offensive line opened up the passing opened big holes for running backs Terry Kunz and Billy Waddy. Their offence, which had been shut out the first half, put together a strong third quarter and cut KU's lead to 18-7.
Mike Love had just kicked his third field goal of the day for KU when the second big
play happened. Colorado's Melvin Johnson
gave the ball to Noah Wilson and got
at the helen's lead, to two points.
Then he shot a three-pointer.
An innept Jayhawk offense and an inspired Colorado offense set the scene the rest of the way. Colorado later kicked a field goal and nabbed a one-point victory.
"It was like two different ball games," Fambrighau said. "It was all ours the first half and all theirs the second. The big thing was that we had no offense the second half, due to the way they played and the fact that we weren't executing without Scott in there."
Colorado is a big, strong team that seems to play its best football in the second half. Last week, the Buffaloes scored 15 points while holding the Cornishers scores尔。

Saturday's 17-16 loss to Colorado and apart the rest of the game and the team's start date, a condition for this week's against Oklahoma is still unclear.

Not only does the Buffaloes' size help in the second half, but also their playing at home in the high altitude of Bouler. Visiting teams often wear down as games progress in Bouler, but the Buffaloes, who are used to the thin air, remain strong.

Bruce Adams locked his knee when he was tackled returning a punt. The status of Adams and McMichael for this week's game against Oklahoma is uncertain.
"There's no doubt about it," Mambrough said. "The altitude affected us. I don't even like to mention it to our players. Just like Laverne (Smith)—he's been running the game last year. But he had to rest him early in the game, and we haven't had to all season."
"They've been No. 1 in my opinion all season long," Fambrigh said. "We're not going to come up with any miracle. I realize we're playing the best team in the nation, and we just have to prepare for it the best way we can.

“A lot of strange things have happened this year in college football. Nothing is impossible. But, I can't go out there and tell them that. I'm not going to say I'm any good. They'd laugh at me.”
Besides McMichael, other Jayhawks suffered what may be serious injuries. Nosegurd John Scanlon take a cartilage in his knee and is out for the season. Flanker

Fambrough's goal is to finish with a winning season.
