TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2002 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3b Football CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B since the Southwest Missouri State game on Sept.14, played in several quarters of the game a.r.d had one catch for eight yards. Junior running back Harold McClendon contributed to Kansas' 115 offensive yards against the Wildcats with 25 yards on five carries. McClendon shared playing time with second-year freshman running back Clark Green, who carried the ball 15 times for 41 yards. McClendon is likely to receive more playing time this season because Mangino said that junior running back Reggie Duncan probably would not play in the final two games against Nebraska and Oklahoma State. Mangino said playing in a game where Kansas trailed taught his underclassmen to play hard without looking at the scoreboard. "I wanted them to be in there, in a ball game against a good team, an in-state rival, where they had to face adversity and had to keep fighting," Mangino said. "I wanted them to be tested and understand that you have to be able to fight, claw and scratch under any conditions — winning, losing." On the defensive side of the ball, where former quarterbacks freshman Nick Reid and junior Zach Dyer have been converted to starters, Mangino did even more shuffling with his lineup. Junior defensive back Bobby Birhiray made four tackles against Kansas State, after making one tackle in the first nine games of the season, and had his first career interception in the third quarter. Mangino was so impressed with freshman line backer Kevin Kane that he named him the defensive player of the game. Kane had a career-high six tackles. Although Mangino said he was happy with the experience that the younger players gained in Saturday's game, he was quick to say that he did not want to discourage his upperclassmen. "They know how I feel and I want them, the older kids, the seniors, to finish their careers strong here," Mangino said. "I want them to leave here with their head up high, with their dignity and pride, knowing they gave everything they had no matter the circumstances." — Edited by Katie Teske and Adam Pracht Jayhawks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B worst after he heard a pop when he landed.

Dana Stubblefield - San Francisco 49ers Stubble field is starting to lose some of his playing time with the 49ers because of his lack of productivity, but he is still an emotional leader on the defensive front.
