Bowling Green plays a familiar tune for Kansas quarterback
By Jason Franchuk The Kansas City Star
The way the hits kept coming, KU quarterback Bill Whittemore must have felt a bit like a radio disc jockey.
Whitmore insists, though, that the tackles doled out at the Division I-A level — like the many he absorbed Saturday against Bowling Green — are no different than anything he saw in the past.
"A hit's a hit," said Whitte-
more, a transfer from Fort Scott
Community College.
"But yeah, the guys are all bigger here. They're all stronger. They're all smarter. They're all faster.
"Well," he concluded, "I guess I'll be a little more sore in the morning."
What might compound the pain is the memory of a few botched plays that contributed to Kansas' 39-16 loss. To be fair, though, Kansas' unraveling was hardly all Whittemore's fault.
Fans leave during team's 2nd-half collapse
By Chuck Woodling Lawrence Journal-World
Four large orange mobile circulating fans were wheeled off Bowling Green's sideline about halfway through the third quarter.
They weren't the first fans to leave Memorial Stadium on Saturday night.
Kansas University football fans began fleeting the stadium for much happier locations after a front blew in about the same time Falcons blew the Jayhawks out.
Whether it was the weather or the Jayhawks' mystifying run of mistakes or both was moot, although both the climate and KU's football team clearly went south in synch.
Ergo, the fourth quarter was played in front of a crowd about the size of last year's season finale against Wyoming, and more people live in the Baker Wetlands than saw the 2001 season finale.
Mangino critical of team's toughness
By Ric Anderson
The Topeka Capital-Journal
Assessing a team that slipped into some old bad habits, a new side of Kansas coach Mark Mangino emerged Saturday.
In a mistake-plagued 39-16 loss to Bowling Green, the Jayhawks saw the measured, optimistic tone that Mangino had used to describe their first three games turn into blunt criticism.
"I can't lie to our players." Mangino said. "You have to call what you see, and we have to continue to work and be a mentally tougher ballclub. And tonight was the first night that it showed we had some areas we have to be mentally tougher in. We had some adversity and we didn't respond well to adversity."
Showing the same fragility that produced six straight losing seasons heading into this fall, the Jayhawks let a solid start dissolve into a blowout in about the time it takes to run a fairly quick mile.
Falcons claim another win against Big 12
By Rick Plumlee
The Wichita Eagle
victory over the Jayhawks. In some ways, it was all very familiar to the 23-point licking the Falcons put on Missouri last week.
Say this for Bowling Green State, the Falcons would probably fare a whole lot better in the Big 12 than Kansas will.
For the second straight week, Bowling Green took out a Big 12 team with Saturday night's 39-16
"You have to give Bowling Green credit," KU coach Mark Mangino said. "They beat two Big 12 teams. But try that for eight weeks in a row. It's not easy."
That was about the most supportive thing Mangino could say on a night when his Jayhawks all but collapsed in the face of tough times.
Running back emerges for Falcons
By Matt Markey
Toledo Blade
Preseason practice had been a proving ground for Bowling Green State University senior Joe Alls. He was one of the most experienced running backs in the program, but he was no heir apparent for the starting job since the competition was fierce - and wide open.
Alls earned the job, has performed well, and proved his value to the Falcons' high-powered offense again last night by leading Bowling Green to a 39-16 win over Kansas with a careerhigh 161 yards rushing on 20 carries.
The Falcons were a little sluggish before Alls helped them shake out of it with a number of explosive carries that earned him 141 yards in the second and third periods alone.
He seced a touchdown, and threw a touchdown pass in the game.
