6 Friday, September 20, 1974 University Daily Kansan Tennessee rough test for 'Hawks By JIM SHELDON Associate Sports Editor Starting at 6:30 p.m. (CDT) tomorrow in Knoxville, Tennessee, the University of Kansas will learn how good a football team it really has when the 'Hawks take on perennial national power Tennessee before an expected crowd of 65,000 in Neyland Stadium. KU was in a similar situation last season when it met the Volunteers in Memphis. The 'Hawks were undefeated (3-0) going into that contest, but not had played a nationally ranked team. Tennessee escaped with a narrow 28-27 win when the Jayhawks failed on a two-point conversion late in the game. According to KU Coach Don Fambrough, KU will enter this year's contest in much the same position. KU opened its season with a 14-7 win over Washington State, but those game should give it a better indication of KU's strengths and weaknesses. "Early in the year it is hard to tell just how good a team is." Fambrough said yesterday. "Like Arkansas beating Southern Cal...you can't ever be sure. The other team could take two or three more games before we will really know how good they were." In its opening game two weeks ago, Tennessee fought UCLA to a 17-17 tie in a nationally televised Cobb Bull Bar game, said the KU might be even better than the UCLA. "But I'd know that Tennessee has a good team, and that we'll find out how good we "I think KU has better running backs than UCLA's and we were impressed with KU's new quarterback (Scott McMichael)." Battle said in a telephone interview yesterday. "While he doesn't have as much experience as UCLA's quarterback, but he's also the best player as good as UCLA's and we were really impressed with the defense. (Mike) Lemon, (Dean) Zook, and (Steve) Towle are three fine football players."

KU went through a light workout in Memorial Stadium yesterday and worked primarily against a scout team which ran Tennessee's offensive and defensive plays. Hobbs will take over the field goal and extra point duties from sophomore Mike Love. Love will still handle the kickoffs and punting, Fambrough said. The Hawks will leave Kansas City International Airport at 3:30 p.m. today and will arrive in Knoxville in time for an evening workout in Neyland Stadium. Battle said his squad's two-week lay-off had helped the Volunteers prepare for KU. "We would have had trouble playing last weekend. We had some people bruised and bumped up and it also gave us some time to play around," she said, we made against UCLA", said Battle. Tennessee's most bruised player in the UCLA game was All-America quarterback candidate Correedge Holloway. Holloway missed most of the game with a shoulder injury and did not resume practicing until earlier this week. However, Battle said he thought Holloway would be ready to play by Saturday night. If Holloway is at full strength, KU's defense could have its hands full. Holloway is known as a scrambler and a good passer. "Our main concern as far as defensing them is Holloway. He has so many abilities and can do so many things. We will just ignore him as his best we can," Farnbrough said. Both KU and Tennessee run the Vee-T on offense, as did their opening game opponents. Fambright and Battle both said they were impressed with the other's offense. "It is a different offense and a different style from what they last year." Battle teammates have a much more running attack than the KU ran effectively, but it was mostly plays and plays

Also, KU didn't throw as much against the ball. He would have to would, or as much as we expect them to do. …being the story of two bet-on-anything guys who happily discover something called a “winning streak.” R that supplemented their passing game. Battle said that KU's Veer offense was similar in many ways, CLA's and that Battles was a strong last spring to observe the 'Hawks' installation of the new offense. However, Battle said that KU's offense was really different than Houston's, the first team to use the Veer. Eve 7:30 & 9:30 Sat.-Sun. Mat.
