Big Eight schedules tough
It will be tough for the Big Eight Con-
cord record in football it established last season.
Big Eight football teams had a 28-4 regular season record against nonconference opposition last year, an act that is too much for Big Eight teams to follow.
Missouri has one of the toughest college schedules in the nation. If playing in the Big Eight isn't enough—Nebraska and Oklahoma, it's not Iowa and 19—the Tigers have to face Southern California in their first game, Illinois in their second and Ohio State in their third. The University of Kansas Jayhawks face Wisconsin in their fourth game. 'Hawks up 41-7 in their fourth game last year. That victory showed to propel the young KU team to a fourth place finish in the Big Eight. The Jayhawks had been pinned down by the bottom of the rugged conference.
KU's other non-conference opponents this season are Kentucky, Washington State and
Oklahoma State will start its season against Missouri Valley champion Tulsa, considered the favorite to win the Valley again this season. The Cowboys then face
Arkansas, North Texas State, also a
staff member of the last gam
of season (Texas-Eli).
Missouri could conceivably play, during their 11-game schedule, eight teams ranked in the top 20 in the country at some time during the 1976 season.
The Tigers upset Alabama in their first game last season 20-7. The Crimson Tide had been ranked as high as second in pre-season polls.
Nebraska's preseason opposition isn't outstanding, however. The Cornhuskers face Louisiana State in their first game, Indiana, Texas Christian and Miami (Fla.).
Oklahoma's toughest non-conference opponent, as usual, is Texas, a Southwest Conference power that considers its game against Oklahoma the most important of the season. The Sooners also face Florida State, Vanderbilt and California.
