Few could accuse the Kansas Jayhawks of looking past their football game tomorrow with the Kansas State Wildcats. The KU players know that there is nothing their arch-rival would like to do more than to nip a loss on the "Snoop Hill" gang.
The 'Hawks (4-2) are favored by most to win, but as any KU fan probably knows, that is not the team's mood for the opening kickoff at 1:30 in KSU Stadium. Because of the loss of quarterback Nolan Cromwell, K-State's hopes for an upset will be even

KU quarterback Scott McMichael, who has the thankless task of taking over KU's offense for Cromwell, said the KU players knew K-State would be out to win.
K-State defensive backfield coach Dave Dunkelberger said Spani had been performing well in practice, though he had been a bit slow because of the injury.
"I don't think there's anything that could keep him out of the game," Dunberger blegered. "I'd play."
"YOU CAN just throw out all the records and all the statistics for this one," McMichael said. "When KU and K-State get together, anything can happen."
"That game proves my point," Me-

knew when they lay."
Although KU has dominated its series with the Wildcats in recent years, back-to-back losses to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are putting added pressure on the winning track. KU has a 50-14-9 lead in the series, and has won five of the last six games.
Having lost five games in a row, however, KState is hungry for a win. The 'Cats won all but one game of the season, Young, 183, since they have fallen to Texas A&M, Wake Forest, Florida State; Missouri and Nebraska. And their remaining five games, all against opponents, opposements, and lice, alike, to try to prove
KANASS and K-State do share the Big Eight conference cellar. Both have 2-d records, possibly another reason that the game requires hard-hard功夫 as must have in the series.

Moore has said he wouldn't announce who KU's starting quarterback would be until
MOORE ALSO HAS refused to say which of the Jayhawks' sophomore quarterbacks would back up McMichael. The quarterbacks, Mark Vincendice and Mark Lissak, had been kept out of action so far this season in hopes that both could be redshirted, making them eligible to play an extra year.
Monday, Moore said that one of the two would back up McMichael, but that his decision wouldn't be announced until game time.
Second-team fullback Dennis Wright, who pulled a thigh muscle in the Oklahoma game, might not be ready to play. Moore said. In that case, freshman Dave Dansdill

An injury that might prove costly to KState involves its punt and place-kicking specialist, Bill Sinovic, who missed three practices this week because of a recurring ankle sprain. The chronic might not be able to play, according to KState coach Ellis Rainberger.
