FOOTBALL
A win is a win, even when it's against a Division 1-AA foe. On the other hand, 24 points allowed is too many, especially against a Division 1-AA foe.
Still, the Jayhawks picked up their first victory under coach Mark Mangino on Saturday, a victory which could prove even more beneficial than a "1" in the win column.
With talented freshmen and Mangino's recruiting ability, the outlook for the football squad could be bright, although it will take longer for them to reach the
Freshmen Greg Heaggan and Clark Green starred for the Jayhawks, showing a glimpse of the team's future. Heaggan set a school record with 195 kickoff return yards against the Bears, and Clark Green led the team with 24 carries, 131 rushing yards, two touchdowns, four receptions and 54 yards receiving.
Admittedly, these are only four fall sports and all must show improvement to reach the top 25, and there are plenty of other sports at the University — baseball, women's basketball and women's golf — which are even further from that level. Still, four sports making marked improvements in one week is a huge step towards Bohl's goal.

Kansas saw its football future Saturday night.
Only its future is also a big hunk of its present. And the Jayhawks needed all of redshirt freshmen Greg Heaggans and Clark Green on Saturday night in their home opener to put away Division I-AA Southwest Missouri State 44-24.
"Years away we'll make something happen for this team," Heaggs said.
He and Green made it happen on the same night Mark Mangino
also happened to win his first game as KU's coach.
"We know who we played," Mangino said. "We're not jumping up and down and standing on our heads. We know that we were supposed to win. But we're also a lot better than we were last week, and we'll be a better team next week."
By Lyndal Scranton Springfield News-Leader
Southwest Missouri State safety Colin Johnson says the Bears got a "special" wakeup call against Kansas.
As in special teams.
"Guys should know how key special teams play is," Johnson said. "If they didn't, they should now."
Special teams — kick coverage in particular — cost the Bears three touchdowns in Saturday night's 44-24 loss to Kansas.
Freshman Greg Heaggans returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and had a 52-yard return in the third quarter that set up a short TD drive.
Teammate Remuise Johnson had a 34-yard punt return that set up the Jayhawks inside the SMS 40, leading to another touchdown.
"At times we played with them and at times we looked like we shouldn't have been on the field with them," said Johnson, one of the Bears' captains. "When we slacked off, they took advantage of our mistakes and made us pay."
Heaggans sets records; wins Player of the Week
Kansas wide receiver Greg Heaggans has been named the Big 12 Conference Special Teams Player the Week.
Heaggans returned the opening kickoff in Saturday's game against Southwest Missouri State 100 yards for a touchdown. He run for 195 yards on four returns and broke a 43-year-old school record.
John Hadl set the previous record in 1959. Hadl, who attended the game on Saturday, ran for 153 yards in four returns against Syracuse.
Heaggans also tied with Eric Vann and June Henley for the second-longest touchtown return in Kansas history. Bert Pooler holds the Kansas record for longest kickoff return with a 108-yard return against Oklahoma in 1905.
"Greg is a hard-working young guy," coach Mark Mangino said in a written statement. "He's one of the first guys on the practice field and one of the last to leave. That's the kind of attitude we need to have to be a quality football team here."

Guess what, it turns out that Jeff Boschee is the pool boy at one of the apartment complexes in Lawrence. Just so you all know.
this morning. And real men don't come from Iowa, they come from Missouri. And as a Missouriian, I can honestly say Mizzou sucks.
I'd just like to thank the god of caffeine for getting me through anthropology
This is for that person that called in about the Jeff Boschee pool boy look-
I was just thinkin' about our football team, and man, I wanna go deep.
