Sooners' memory not that short
By STEVE SCHOENFELD
At 4:30 p.m., last Nov. 8, KU's campus erupted.
Cherry bombs rocked through the air horns sound, toilet paper fallen from the ceiling.
The reason? Simple. Kansas had shocked Oklahoma, 23-3, leading the Sooners' winning streak at 28 and halting their string of 37 straight games without a defeat.
At 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in Memorial Stadium,OU will be looking for revenge.And the dayjahws will be trying to stop the Homecoming crowd of 6,500 is expected.
Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer's troops haven't forgotten last year. Their fans have wavers.
"The thing I remember about Kansas is 23-3," defensive tackle Richard Murray told the Associated Press, "and they laid it on us."
But that was last year. Some think all will soon be forgotten.
"The revenge factor in football any more is about a five-minute thing." KU defensive line coach Vince Semary said. "This thing you've got to remember is they've only lost one game in three years. They don't know what Oklahoma like, that's what makes Oklahoma. Oklahoma."
The Sooners are 4-0-1 and ranked sixth in The. The Died Texas, 6-4, last Saturday.
But their record is deceiving. OU's high-powered wishbone machine has been killed. The Sobers team was averaging over 332 yards a game, and last in passing offense. They are

led by halfbacks Horace Ivory and Elvis
Peacock.
"I think they have a young, inexperienced line," Semary said, "and that's given them a few problems. If they ever put it together, you could do it better as good as an Oklahoma team, has ever been."
Oklahoma's biggest problem on offense is at quarterback. Starter Dean Blevin won't play for the second straight week because of a groin injury. However, KU coach Bud Moore isn't convinced the Sooners will lose anything with Thomas Lott at quarterback. Lott started his first game ever last Saturday.
Basketball practice begins
The University of Kansas men's basketball team begins preparing for the 1978-77 season at 4 p.m. today in Allen Field House.
an All-Big-Eight forward last season, who
anchored for his first year of eligibility
to play in the 2013 NHL season.
The Jayhawks will be without Norm Cook.
Ted Wewns, starting his 13th season as KU's head coach, will have eight lettermen, including four starters, from last year's team. Forward Donnie Von Moore, who missed last season because of a concussion, will also be back with the squad.
The Jawahays will try to improve last seasons 13-13 record and fourth place Big East
"Last year we were hurt by our lack of depth," Owens said this week. "With the healing of our injuries and our strong commitment, this should no longer be a problem."
Announcing
"Ido, know if there will be a big drop in quality just because of his lack of experience," Moore, who will be celebrating his 37th birthday tomorrow, said. "It seems that every team we play, their quarterback wins, is the best game of the season against us."
OU's defense is a different story. The Big Red rank second in total defense in the conference, giving up only an average of 254.4 yards a game. They also rank first in scoring defense, yielding a stingy nine points a game.
"Before the season, we read that losing the Selmons and (Jimbo) Eldor would hurt their defense," Moore said. "But I don't see better because they play more as a unit."
" Their secondary has improved. And their front is just as quick and aggressive as the back."
But the Sooners' front five and defensive secondary, which calls itself "Murder, Inc.," should be severely tested tomorrow by the Jayhawks' wishbone, KU is second in the nation in rushing offense, having 1,770 yards on 323 carries, an average of 354 yards a game. Halfback Laverne Smith, now the all-time KU career running leader,
is second in the league in rushing and
second in fourth. Cromwell ranks second in
total offers.
“It’s the best wishbone offense I've seen in a long, long time,” said Larry Lacewell, OU assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. "I saw their films against Oklahoma State and they went up and down the field all afternoon long. They're potent. It'll be the toughest test defensively we've had all year by far."
KU has several players still banged up, but only tight end Jim Michaels (sprained ankle) and defensive end Harry Murphy (broken forearm) will be missing. Freshman Al Roberts will start in place of Michaels..
ne Jayhawks, 4* this year and ranked
15 nationally, also have some incentive.
Many of the KU players said they should've
won last weekend at Oklahoma State. They
realize this is a must game if they are to
surprise for the Big Eight crown. And if they lose.
"I don't think our kids would ever let the season go up in the air," Semary said. "Our kids have too much character. They throw their tails up in the air and give up."
