Line gives best in finale

HONOLULU — Saving the best for last.
That is what Kansas senior defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield did in bis collegiate career.
"Playing his final game in a Kansas uniform, Stubblefield recorded three sacks and had three quarterback harriers in a 23-20 Aloha Bowl victory against Brigham Young University
"That was the best," he said. "That game right there was the best that I played."
It would be hard to argue that Stubfield ever played better, as his three sacks of BYU freshman quarterback Tom Young cost the Cougars 22 yards in losses. When Stubblefield was not tackling Young, he was chasing him around the football field.
on his pass rush the week before the game because he knew the Cougars had an inexperienced quarterback. Young, the fourth starting quarterback of the season for BYU, had thrown three passes all year before the Aloha Bowl.
Young tried to avoid the fierce Kansas pass rush all day, but the Jayhawks caught him six times behind the line of scrimmage.
Senior defensive end Kyle Moore was another Jayhawk who chased Young, adding one sack and one hurry to Kansas' defensive effort.

Stubblefield said he practiced hard
Moore said the Jayhawks did not want to let the freshman settle down.
I think he was just nervous "she
pleased him, give him time to ready
settle down."
The Brigham Young offensive line was not really that bad, Moore said.
"They were like the average offensive line we faced," he said, "I'd have
to rate them an eight out of 10."
However competent the Cougars' offensive linemen were, the Jahawk defenders were better Christmas Day.
Junior free safety Kwainy Lassiter led the Jawkaws with 12 tackles, and sophomore outside linebacker Don Davis was second with seven.
Senior linemen had five of the team's six sacks. Senior defensive tackle Gilbert Brown and junior defensive end Brian Christian also recorded sacks.
Though the linebackers and secondary played their parts, it was the defensive line that stood out in the victory.
Although Kansas will lose several key seniors to graduation, Stubbie-field believes there is a future for the returning Jayhawks.
"If they step up, they shouldn't have any problem," he said.
Eichloff, Kansas aided by BYU's kicking woes
By David Bartkoski Kansan sportswriter

HONOLULU—If Dan Eichloff's week of practice before the Aloha Bowl would have been any indication of how Kansas would fare against Brigham University, the Jayhawks would have lost by 50.
Eliichlo, a junior kicker, said he hit only 2 of 10 field goals in one practice and 4 of 10 in another. But practice makes perfect, and the Kansas kicker was 2-for-2 on field goals in a 23-20 Aloha Bowl victory.
His 48-yard with 2:57 remaining put the Jayhawks ahead for good and capped Kansas' comeback from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
"I was just happy lhit it," he said. Eichloff was one of Kansas' heroes, but BYU junior kicker David Launder had a less-than-perfect performance, missing all three of his field goal attempts.
Lauder, who sustained a pre-game injury to his kicking leg, found different ways to miss each field goal.
Sophomore Chris Powell congratulates junior place kicker Dan Eichloff.
His 36-yard attempt in the first quarter sailed just right of the uprights. He got even closer in the third quarter when his 31-yard try hit the left upright and bounded back onto the field. Finally, his 42-yard attempt in the fourth quarter missed badly, wobbling far right of the uprights.
Lauder's musses allowed the Jayhawks to keep the score close, and Eichloff's successes capped off the Kansas victory.
Jeff Jacobsen / The Topeka Capital-Journal
Elichloff's punting totals were down this day, as he averaged 40.6 yards a kick, almost two yards a kick less than his 42.4 career average at the start of this season.
A sunny day in Aloha Stadium seemed to cure Eichloff's punting woes. He averaged 48.3 yards on eight punts, and boomed one 56 yards.
BYU defensive tackle punter Brad Hunter, a giant among punters at 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds, averaged 48 yards on three punts.
In the Aloha Bowl, Hunter's three punts and teammate junior punter/picker Joe Herrick's 49-yard boot gave BYU a 48.3 yard average.
the same as Kansas! The 48.3 yard averages were Aloha Bowl records for team punting.
Eichloh, who is 6 feet tall and weighs 215 pounds, said he was amazed by Hunter's size.
