Sycamore head coach says team overmatched

Indiana State head coach Dennis Raetz said yesterday that his team was just as big an underdog to Kansas as the Jayhawks would be to Oklahoma or Nebraska.
However, Kansas head coach Bob Valesente said Indiana State was not a team to be taken for granted.
"Anytime you talk about a Big Eight team playing a Division I-AA team, there's really not a good comparison," Raetz said. "As far as comparison and ability, you can't really mention a I-AA team in the same breath as a Big Eight team."
His biggest concern is whether his team is physically mature enough to withstand the pressure from Kansas in tomorrow's game.
Last year, the Jayhawks defeated the Sycamores 37-10. The Kansas offense accumulated 279 yards passing and 166 yards rushing while the defense allowed Indiana State only 247 yards of total offense.
Although Kansas players said they wouldn't take Indiana State lightly, Raetz is concerned about the lack of experienced players on his team. The Sycamore defense is young, with three freshman and four sophomore starters.
"We're not going to go into the game with the attitude that we can beat Indiana State." linebacker John Randolph said. "We just got more breaks than they did last year. They are a very physical team."
Knee injuries were frequent for Indiana State last week as four offensive players were hurt in the 64-9 loss to Iowa State.
Indiana State's major concern this season was replacing quarterback Jeff Miller, who graduated last year. Miller set 15 school and two Missouri Valley Conference records.
Despite losing Miller, the Sycamore offense still will start
