'Hawks forget Husker shelling

You can talk about Saturday's stomping of the University of Kansas football team by Nebraska until you're blue in the face. It takes three weeks to grow, and the Jawkay team, the game is forgotten.
If by some remote chance you did not hear, Nature sounds soundly defeated KU 56-0

Tere Stowe, KU linebacker and team co-captain, said recently that the Nebraska game had been forgotten and wasn't talked about by the players.
"We've already had one practice today (Monday) and the team has already put it behind them." Towle said. "We would like to see how the way Nebraska came into our game."
"It was just one of those things that's hard to put into a capsule about the type of attitude a team should have going into a game," he said. "We've had bad weeks of it, we were well in the game last week we had one of our best weeks and played pretty badly.
The way Nebraska played KU was a study of passing perfection. Nebraska had just been handed a staining 21-10 defeat from Washington, and they need to get revenge on the next opponent.
"It's one of the things the coaches are really concerned about—whether to work harder in practice to keep us on a keener edge or not to."
KU possibly could have handled the Huskers, revengeful or not, had the circumstances been different. As it was, KU played its worst football in more than a year, and Nebraska's passing attack was in many respects the big in Biflight history.
Towle said KU prepared for Nebraska in standard game-type practice sessions, and the team thought they had an exceptionally good week of practice.
Gregg Hosack, KU Light end, said the game seemed ideal before the game came to an end.
Towle offered a possible explanation for this "dead" attitude.
"We've never been the big hoop and bolter, goer-or-kill somebody type of man," he said. "It's hard to say how every man feels. When he's just sitting there not yelling, you don't know what's going through his head.
"I can't say we were really down before the game because we went out and held them very close in the first half. Except for a couple of big plays, the game was very
Towle said Nebraska played almost a perfect game. KU made a normal amount of mistakes, he said, but allowed Nebraska to capitalize on every one of them.
But the Nebraska game is now something for the record books and not to be talked about, at least not by the team. They have taken up a different cause, this week's game against Iowa State. They think they have something to prove to KU fans.
"I think this week we'll play on a more angry note." Towle said. "It's always been hard to prove our talent to our followers and it seems they were starting to get behind us in their game." We all know we owe a lot to the fans and we feel we should show them a good game this week."
Towle said he was angry about last week and thought that he would be a better football team if he had stayed at Towle.
"Of course, this is my last year at KU and I'll never get a chance to prove we are any better than we are this year," he said. "So it means a lot more to me than a one-game win or loss. These are the last games for me."
Towle said the Nebraska game wouldn't hurt KU's chances in the Big Eight race because this was the year of the upset and he knew a way of knowing what would happen next.
Towle also said the possibility of KU going to basketball was too far off to worry about.
KU drops from Top 20

The California Golden Bears, who have had only three winning seasons in 15 years, cracked the Associated Press college rankings for the first time this season.

"Of course, it's all up to the bowl people," he said. "I just heard something that they'll look at us again in three weeks when we play Colorado. I hope the way we play the rest of the season people will say we just had a bad game against Nebraska.
"We're still hoping for a bid, but we're on a more weekly goal right now. If you start thinking about playing some team in a bowl game, then you're not going to concentrate on your weekly goal, which is to beat Iowa State this week."
