University Daily Kansan / Friday, September 19, 1986 11 Switzer concerned about Minnesota OU head coach doesn't want team looking past Gophers towards Miami United Press International With a powerful Hurricane on the horizon, it is hard to worry about Gophers. The top-ranked Oklahoma Sooners are scheduled to play the 2. Miami Hurricanes on Sept. 27, but they have that Gopher problem at home to take care of first. Big Eight Preview The Sooners take on the Minnesota Gophers to highlight tomorrow's Big Eight schedule No. 5 Nebraska travels to Illinois, and Colorado plays at Ohio State in a third Big Eight-Big 10 pairing. A trio of Southwest Conference teams also plays Big Eight schools this week with Houston at Oklahoma State, Texas at Missouri and Kansas State in Fort Worth, Texas, to play Texas Christian. The other Big Eight games include Utah State at Kansas and Indiana State at Iowa State. Oklahoma, 1-0, is coming off a week in which it didn't have a game, and head coach Barry Switzer said the Sooners practiced like it. "This week will be somewhat different." Switzer said. But Switzer still will have the problem of keeping the Oklahoma players focused on the Gophers, 1-0, because of the Hurricane watch. "Obviously it's a concern this week playing Minnesota with so much hype given the Miami game the following week," Switzer said. "I'm trying to educate our football team to that. I think they are intelligent enough to recognize that we have to handle this business here this week to make (the Miami game) what everyone whats it to be: one versus two. "It's a concern, but I think our football team is experienced enough and mature enough that they can handle that." Nebraska, which moved up a spot in the rankings without playing, apparently had a better week of practice than the Sooners. "I think it was generally a good week of practice," said Cornhuskers head coach Tom Osborne. "Overall I think we made some progress." Osborne said Illinois, 1-1, was a slightly more conservative team than the group Nebraska beat 52-25 last year. He said Illinois could be expected to run the ball more than last year. The Cornhuskers limited Florida State to just 76 yards on the ground in their opener. The other Big 10-Big Eight game features a pair of teams that have yet to live up to their preseason billings. This is the first season since 1894 that Ohio State has been 0-2, and Colorado was expected to finish a strong third in the Big Eight. "Disappointed is an understatement," said Colorado head coach Bill McCartney. "I might have to die to get better." Texas lost its opener for only the 10th time in the 94 years of Longhorn football. Missouri, meanwhile, broke what had become too much of an unsavory tradition and won at home in its opener. "That makes it a whole lot more fun to come to work," said Missouri head coach Woody Widenhof. Last year the Longhorns beat Missouri 21-17. Oklahoma State finally plays at home after having tough trips to Southwestern Louisiana and Tulsa for a 1-1 mark. "We have an alarming tendency to self-destruct at times," said Cowboys' head coach Pat Jones. "But on the same end, we can also make things happen." Kansas State's defense will be tested this week with a game at TCU. 1-0, after the Horned Frogs piled up 508 yards rushing against Tulane last week. The Wildcats, 1-2, will be trying to come off a dishearing shutout at the hands of NCAA Division 1-AA Northern Iowa. Iowa State, 0-1, also had a tough loss to swallow last week - 43-7 by Iowa - and will be facing a 2-0 Indiana State team. "They've got nothing to lose," said Iowa State head coach Jim Criner. Mattingly closes gap with 17-game streak The Associated Press NEW YORK — After winning a batting title in 1984 and a most valuable player award in 1985, first baseman Don Mattingly of the New York Yankees seems only mildly interested in topping this year's American League hitting list — or any of the other six categories where he ranks among the top five. "We've still got a long way to go," Mattingly said. "I don't look at the boxscores much, I usually don't know what (Boston's Wade) Boggs did unless someone tells me." Mattingly, last year's American League MVP, has hit safely in 17 consecutive games and raised his average from .335 to .350. This brings him within a point of the Red Sox's third baseman, who led the American League in hitting before last night's games. In the streak, the 25-year-old left- handed hitter was 33-for-70 with three home runs, 13 runs batted in and 16 doubles, while scoring 19 runs. "I won the batting title in 1984 and I had a good year last year," Mattingly said. He had a 343 average in 1984. "This is as good as I've felt at the plate as far as knowing myself and what I'm doing, I feel very relaxed." His 214 hits, .568 slugging percentage and 48 doubles ranked him first in those categories, while he was fifth in RBI (102), third in runs scored (106), and fifth in on-base percentage (.592).
