Team airborne after ground game

Robert Miller and Laverne Smith have brought the Jayhawks back down to earth. And in doing so, they have put the Kansas football team on a cloud.
The two running backs proved conclusively Saturday that the Jailwhacks don't have to go airborne to win a football game. Together they churned out nearly 300 yards on the ground as Kansas won its season defeat about Washington State. 14-7.
in the process, both set career rushing marks. Miller, co-captain of the squad, stole 180 yards from the Washington defense. Smith, a sophomore, grabbed 119 more.
It was the time since 1968 that a pair of backs have gained over 100 yards each for the Jayhawks in a single game. That year, John Riggins and Bobby Douglass teamed for 270 yards as Kansas downed Colorado, 27-14.
"Our offense performed well," Smith said of the Washington game. "The way we were playing was brilliant." We scored 50 point. We made some mistakes, but we can run we can run the ball against anybody.
"The Veer is a running offense," Miller explained. "It's going to give us more chances to run. We'll take whatever the other defense will give us."
The new Veer offense used by the
Kansas team will give Kansas a chance to display the skill.
The win over Washington was sparked, not needing to Miller by 'cindence, faith and seeking.'
After a 72-hole tournament at Alvamar Hills Golf Course last week, the 1974 members of the KU varsity golf team were selected.

Senior Mike Fiddelek led the scoring with a 295 total, which was seven over pair. He scored twice in each half and three in overtime.
Also making the team, and their scores for the tournament, were Marc Morzoso (312), Bill Kipp (312), Beo Dennis (318),
This weekend the team will take part in the four day, 72-hole Mid-America Inter-Collegiate Golf Classic, which will begin Sept. 19 in Bonne Terre, Mo.
"The line is great," Miller said. "In fact, it's the greatest line we had since I've been here. Ace Boydston Mike Englebrate. He was the star in '90." Dave Scott; they really come off the ball."
Smith echoed Miller's praise for the linemen. "Our line just fires off the ball. They're getting downfield and blocking for us."
Behind that line Miller and Smith are able to claim turf for the Kansas offense.
Last year, Miller stepped off a total of 380 yards. Given the expanded running opportunities found in the Vee offense, he is highly top that mark before the month is out.
The modest Miller also praised Smith for his ability.
"He's a fantastic runner," Miller said.
"Lavene's got a great chance to be sophomore of the year."
"I think we win the Big Eight," Miller says. "We've got a great chance if we can get our current position."
With confidence, faith and a combination of many things, the Jayhawks are prepared for Saturday's game with Tennessee. But beyond that, there is a bigger goal.
