Senior to get first start at quarterback Injury-plagued Jayhawks face No. 6 Nebraska

The Kansas Jayhawks, without quarterback Frank Seurer and possibly without tailback Kermin Bell, host the sixth-ranked Nebraska Cornshuskers tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
In the Cornhuskers, the Jayhawks, 1-4, 2-1, will be facing the most potent offense they have seen this year, and possibly the best they have ever seen.
"Pat Dye, the head coach at Auburn, said that Nebraska has the best offensive line he's ever seen," he said. "You don't know what to do."
Nebraska, 6-1, with its only loss coming at the hands of Penn State, leads the nation in total offense with 583.3 yards a game; rushing, 392 yards a game; and offensive scoring, 40 points a game, ranked ninth in the country in scoring, is no slouch either, allowing just 12.4 points a game.
"IN MY opinion, this might be the best offensive football team in the country," Kansas coach Don Fambrough said. "On defense, they are going to have them they have been in the pasi, but they will still do."
with Alabama and Georgia, so that's saying a lot."
Nebraska handed Auburn, 6-1 and ranked 18th in the country. Its only loss of the season.
The Nebraska offensive line that Dye talked about is anchored by center Dave Rimington, Rimington, who won the Outland Trophy and was named Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year last year, stands 6-foot-3, 290 pounds, and is considered one of the top centers in the country.
"RIMMINGTON IS considered one of the finest centers in all of football today, and Nebraska's quarterback Turner Gill can do it all," he added. "It can't be only very talented, but very deep as well."
The team that will take the field for the Jayhawks tomorrow, however, is anything but deep. It is definitely not the team that Fambrigh, at the beginning of the season, thought he would put on the field against Nebraska.
Seurer, who suffered a separated shoulder against Oklahoma two weeks ago but played last week against Kansas State, is definitely out. Bell, Seurer's backfield partner in high school and college, also may miss the game with a bruised thigh.
"Right now, Kerwin is doubtful for the game,"
Fambrough said, "He has not been at full speed all week, so we can't depend on him playing."
Those two injuries will force Fambourg to put two inexperienced players in the starting lineup.
SENIOR MIKE. Bohn, who has seen very limited action in two Kansas games this year, will start for Searer at quarterback. Bohn has completed 1 of 4 masses for 7 vards.
Backing up Bohn will be sophomore Mike Frederick, Frederick doesn't have much more experience; he has completed 7 of 16 passes for 41 yards with three interceptions this season.
"Mike (Bohn) doesn't have much experience, but he can definitely throw the ball," Fambrough said. "To beat Nebraska, though, we will have to control the ball and prevent turnovers." And preventing turnovers is one thing the Jawhaves have recently failed to do.
Against K-State, the Jayhawks turned the ball over six times (four interceptions and two fumbles), and the Wildcats turned four of those turnovers into 26 points.
For the season, Kansas has turned the ball over 19 times, an average of 2.7 turnovers a
FRESHMAN ROBERT Mimbs will start in place of Bell at tailback. Mimbs rushed for 98
yards against Oklahoma State, the most any Kansas back has gained in a single game this season. If Kerwin Bell can't play, Dino Bell and Garfield Taylor will back up Mimbs.
The only experienced player in the backfield will be junior E.J. Jones, who will play fullback for the defense.
The offensive line will once again have a change from last week's starting lineup. K.C. Brown and Craig Krisbachbaum will start at the center. John Carlson, Carl Wolf and Anthony Penny, who started last week.
Theriolf, who also snaps on field goals and punts, is questionable for tomorrow's contest with a pulled hamstring. If Theriolf can't play, senior Jim Boushka, a receiver will, take his place. Fambrough said a decision on Theriolf would be made today and that if he was given the go-ahead, Theriolf would be the long snapper. Fambrough also said that there was no way Theriolf would be able to play any positions other than long snapper.
On defense, the injury situation is more of the same.
DEFENSE TACKLES Broderick Thompson and Mark Wilbers are hurt, but both will play. Thompson is suffering from a foot injury, but played in a cast last week and will do the same
this week, Wilbers, who suited up last week but did not play because of a pinched nerve in his neck, is also ready to play. Nose guard Walter Parrish, who had started every game for the Knicks, is now fighting against K-State and is out for the Nebraska game. Dave Mehrer will take his startup game.
Besides defensive end Tim Fries, who out last week's game and will miss this week's game, Jake Royster has been an integral part.
The Jayhawks may have one advantage, but even this may turn against them. The Jayhawks had Nebraska on the ropes for much of last year's game before giving up two fourth-quarter touchdowns and falling to the Cornhuskers, though said that could work to KU's advantage.
"We've used last year's game all week long." I rambling said. "We talked about it, using it as a way to see if the team is ready."
"We've just got to go out and play the best we can with what we have. That's all we have left."
Defensive co-captain Gary Coleman said, "They are going to be their usual tough selves and we are pretty beat up. We just have to look inside ourselves and salvage our pride. We've only got two games left at home and I think we owe our fans something."
Lori Erickson, No. 21, and an unidentified teammate go up to block the spike of K-State's Jenny Koehn, No. 8, as Jenny Powell looks on. The Wildcats won last night's match over the Jayhawks in straight games, 15-0, 15-6 and 15-11.
KU volleyball team loses to Wildcats

The Wildcats dominated the opening game, giving the Jayhawks only two chances to serve. The Wildcats shut out the 'Hawks, 15-0. The Jayhawks were defeated again in the second game, 15-6. In the third game, Kansas stayed close early, but the Wildcats were too much for Kansas, winning the third game 15-11 and taking the match, three games to none.
The Kansas volleyball team was defeated by the Kansas State Wildcats in a three-game match last night in Allen Field House.
"It was like the first game we played at Oral Roberts." Bob Lockwood, KU volleyball coach, said. "It was the type of game where everything went right for the right team. Kansas State came here to win and they did. We just couldn't get into the rythm of playing the game."
aware of themselves on the court. Kansas, which has been weak on defensive blocking and on the back court, worked on other areas during the last week.
"We were so unsure of ourselves in the first and second games," Lockwood said. "The movement of the ball wasn't normal. In the third game, the momentum picked up considerably and the volleying became extremely strong for both teams.
According to Lockwood, the Jayhawks weren't
"Kansas State played an extraordinary defense and we couldn't handle it. They came off a good play."
It's not so far into the season that Kansas couldn't pull up to place in the top half of the Big Eight. The Jayhawks have three teams yet to play, including Oklahoma and Nebraska. But before the season ends, Kansas will have another shot to play the Wildcats.
"If we win two out of three of those matches, we could finish as high as fourth in the Big Ten."
road tired and the game against Iowa State showed us that. 'Tonight's (last night)'s game with Kansas State was the same, but that happens in volleyball.'
The Jayhawks, with a lot of pressure on the game, felt the hard loss.
"I can't believe this happened again." Lori Erickson, a KU spiker, said. "We should be playing the best we can, since it's near the end of season and if no one took charge out on the court."
Lockwood he said found no excuses for the loss as Kansas expected to do well after they were defeated in three straight games to Iowa State last week.
"We're on a dive while Kansas State is on a gang buster," Lockwood said. "They are on a winning streak, and they are probably going to stay strong."
The Jawhays host the Oklahoma Sooners at 7 p.m. in Allen Field House tomorrow.
Cyclones, KSU meet with bowl bid in mind
By United Press International
Iowa State has not gone to a bowl game in four years and Kansas State has never been invited to play.
but when the two teams meet tomorrow, they will share the same thought — bowl. Iowa state and KState are tied for third place in the Big Ten. The team hopes to win a post-season dreams with identical 4-2 records.
"We'll have to continue to win to have any kind of shot at a bowl." K-State coach Jim Dickey
said. "Iowa State is obviously a very pivotal game. If both of us play, best of our three."
K-State was the preseason choice for sixth place in the Big Eight. But the Wildcats have used victories over both of their intrateatre rivals, Wichita State, 31-7, and Kansas, 36-7, to spearhead a bid for their first winning season in 12 years.
Iowa State, relying on the two-pronged rushing attack of Tommy Davis and Harold Brown, has also whipped his two intrastate rivals, Iowa 19-7, and Drake, 35-10. Like K-States, the Cyclones
were picked in the preseason for a second division finish - last.
"Our two teams are very similar." Iowa State coach Donnie Duncan said. "Our record is similar, the way we've played is similar. Both of us have done better than most people expected to. Both of us have better football teams than anybody we save us credit for."
In other games, No. 15 Oklahoma visits Colorado and Missouri plays Oklahoma State.
Missouri has gone winnless the last three weeks and Oklahoma State has not won a game in five.
