Monday, September 23, 1974 University Daily Kansan SPORTS 'Hawks' impressive stats don't win games By MARK ZELIGMAN Sports Editor A frustrating pattern is beginning to form for the University of Kansas football team. The Jayhawks are piling up impressive runs that have been outright putting points on the scoreboard. In their first game, they gained 440 yards against Washington State but only scored 14 on the ground. Sunday night was even worse. They gained 389 yards against Tennessee but only scored three points. This time, however, the other team and Tennessee won 17-3. yard line three times during the first half, yard line only three points in those three chances But football is played on a field 100 yards long, and until the Jayhawks learn how to maneuver through those extra five yards, they will not world won't help them win football games. "That's the thing that troubles me so," Coach Domb Fambridge said yesterday. "In two ball games, we've gained almost 1,000 to score only 17 points is unreal alren." "We've spent all morning going over films. We've got to work on scoring situations and getting our team conscious of what we have to do to improve." Once again, against Tennessee. the Jayhawks outgained their opponent. Once against the Tampa Bay offense showed its impaired ability to play, the Jays Laverne Smith, making Delvin Williams' graduation less less and less damaging every game, gained more than 100 yards for a run in a row. Robert Miller gained 90 yards. Scott McMichael threw 134 yards, a total that should have been enough considering the success of the ground game. But it wasn't. "You still have to keep in mind who we were playing," Fambrough said. "We played a good football team in the University of Tennessee. But we still have to be able to get something on the scoreboard. "To sum it up. No. 1 was our inability to By Photographer CORKY TREWIN Miller rambles through Tennessee line By JIMSHELDON Associate Sports Editor Defense shines, fails in loss to Vols Anytime you lose a football game it is difficult to look on the bright side. However, it is hard to ignore the efforts of the team in Saturday night's 17-3 loss to Tennessee. The 'Hawks' defense wasn't always consistent and it did make its share of mistakes. The Vols rolled up 340 yards of total offense and caught the 'Hawks in several mental laps, such as the fake goal at the end of the first quarter. But KU's goal to the occasion more than once, despite the fact that it had to play a lot of football. "When the defense is out there 85 per cent of the time it is kind of wears down," defensives say. With the failure of KU's offense to score or even to sustain more than a few long drives, the defense had to take command. But KU was unable to force Tennessee into fumblings when the Vols were threatening to score. But KU's offense was unable to generate any scoring, even though it had the ball inside the Tennessee 10yard three different times in the first half alone. Defensive back nolan Cromwell wield the defense understood that it might take time to find a hole in the basket. "We knew before we started that it would take the offense a little while to come around early in the season," Cromwell said. But KILL's offense was continually But KU's offense was particularly frustrating Saturday. "When you get down inside the five-yard line and don't练, your smile kind of gets better." Head coach Don Fambrough wasn't entirely satisfied with the play of the KU defense either. There were times when KU's tackling was sloppy and his play was unsatisfied. Fambrough said KU was not insistent according to Steve Towe, KU linebacker. "We didn't get physically tired," Toula said. "We were making mental mistakes, though. We made some good physical plays and we hit hard the whole game." KU made a lot of its mistakes on first start. Tennessee gained yards or more and won the game. "The main thing that confused us was the unbalanced table," Towle said. "We had only two feet." their game against UCLA—and they had made a lot of changes. They came out in this unbalanced set with as many as six men on one side of the line and then they swept to that side. We had problems with it the first half, but handled it pretty well in the second half." KU's defense had an additional surprise when the Vols started sophomore Randy Wallace at quarterback in place of the injured Corredge Holloway. According to Wallace, played much like Holloway, and KU really didn't have to make any major changes. "Tennessee has taught all their quarterbacks in the Holloway mold," he said. "They did basically the same type of things." It looked as if the defense would have an easier task when Tennessee chose to hold the game. With a dredge Holloway, who was injured in the Tennessee Volunteers' first game against score. No. 2 was our sloppy tackling, Our defense was very inconsistent. Were a better defensive football team than that. I was disappointed in their performance." KU will have a chance to regain its morale when it plays its home opener Saturday against Florida State. With a little practice, the team's mistakes it made against Tennessee. Randy Wallace, a redshirt sophomore who hadn't played a down before Saturday, replaced Holloway at quarterback. Unsuccessful, Wallace played like an experienced senior. "We all know one thing." Towle said, and we that we as the University of Kansas, beat our own by 10 points. After recovering a Miller fumble late in the first quarter, Tennessee drove to the Jahyah wk2 22 before being stalled. On fourth down, Holloway went on the field to hold for three yards and then drove from center, began to run and then threw 13 vards to Tommy West for a first down. Holloway only appeared for one play, but he couldn't have picked a more important The Tennessee coaching staff said the play wasn't a planned fake, but a busted play. Regardless of which it was, Stanley Morgan scored from one yard out a few plays later to give Tennessee the lead 7-0, and the Volunteers were never caught. The Jayhawks' best chance at catching Tennessee came near the end of the first half. Freshman Monte Hobbs had kicked a 36-yard field goal to make the score 7-3 with 12 left in the half. Just a few plays later, Les Barnes recovered a Volunteer fumble and the Jayhawks drove to the Tennessee 13. With just 12 seconds on the clock Emmett Edwards was open in the end zone but McMichael underthrew him. "That was his only really bad pass," Bamfread said.

"We called that play because they were ignoring our back on that side," Fambrough said. "That was a real example of the tremendous speed in the Tennessee secondary. He almost broke the tackle, though, and went in." XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "There's no doubt about it," Fambrough said. "If we have could have gotten in there, we would have gotten momentum going into the game." And the chance at winning the football game." An obvious difference between the two teams was the kicking game. Tennessee's punter, Neil Clabo consistently kicked the ball high and deep, in comparison to the Jayhawks' Mike Love, whose kicks were of the short, line-drive type.
