SPORTS 7A ROWING Kansas rowers to compete with top teams at regatta BY BEN WARD bward@kansan.com Although the fall season is winding down, the rowing team will have many things to consider when it competes this weekend in the Head of the Hooch regatta. The two-day event on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tenn., not only marks the last event of the fall season but will also indicate how the team stacks up against top-flight rowing programs across the country. "It's good getting to go against all these good teams we don't get to see all the time." Stacy Rachow, Phillipsburg senior, said. "It helps get a sense of where we stand." Coach Rob Catloth said that succeeding amid the level of talent at Tennessee will require great effort from his team. "It's a bigger regatta with some really competitive schools, so we've definitely got our work cut out for us," Catloth said. Among the packed field at the Hooch, the second largest regatta in the U.S behind the Head of the Charles, will be teams such as Clemson, Duke, Miami, Texas and Tennessee. Although the talented opponents in the regatta will certainly be a litmus test for Kansas, it will also help determine the team's Follow Ben Ward at twitter.com/ bm_duh. offseason regiment. "It'll be a good measure for what we need to improve on over the winter." Catloth said. Although the team does not compete again until spring, winter is far from being downtime. Before the rigorous training of winter, however, the Jayhawks will get to both compete in and enjoy what Catloth called one of the most exciting regatta environments around. "Winter is definitely the most difficult time of the year for rowing because we're indoors the whole time," Lindsey Lawrence, Lawrence senior, said. "Working on rowing machines can be really hard mentally, because it's hard to see what your improvement is just sitting on a machine." "It's a beautiful area. The river runs right through downtown," Catloth said. "It's good for all the student athletes. There's the experience of competing, but also just being there is an experience in itself."

The team will compete at the Head of the Hooch regatta this weekend KANSAN FILE PHOTO Despite near-perfect record, Broncos have problems early in games NFL BY PAT GRAHAM Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos' 6-1 start puts them among the league's elite. Their inability to score on their opening drive, however, places them among some dubious company. The Broncos have been outscored 39-24 in the first quarter and they've trailed at halftime four straight weeks. They learned Sunday at Baltimore that they can't keep counting on their second-half surges to carry them. Denver joins Oakland, Kansas City and Houston as the only teams not to score on their opening offensive possession yet this season, according to STATS LLC. So, why has the Broncos offense sputtered out of the starting blocks? Mistakes, poor play calls, bad protection — the list is long. The Broncos know they can't afford to start slowly against Pittsburgh on Monday night because the Steelers (5-2) are one of the league's fastest starters, and playing from behind isn't the forte of Josh McDaniels' low-risk offense. "(There is) kind of just a lack of execution to start the game," quarterback Kyle Orton said. "It is going to be a critical point in this game ... We certainly can't expect to win if we are down 10-0 or 14-0 to start off the game. We are going to have to figure it out and get it going by Monday." McDaniels has never been a coach to rely on a scripted set of plays, preferring to keep an open mind. That's contrary to some coaches in the league, who painstakingly plan out the first 15 or so offensive snaps. "I mean, I have some things that I want to do early in the game," McDaniels said. "But no, I've never been a big fan of just scripting because the ball could be anywhere on the field and certain situations dictate that you don't want to call that there or what have you ... It's never been something I've done." Orton, on the other hand, is used to a more scripted offense dating back to his days in Chicago. But he doesn't think that's a reason for Denver's lukewarm starts. "That is not an excuse," Orton said. "We certainly know the plays that we are calling early in the game and certainly should be able to execute them." The Broncos were hounded and hassled all afternoon by a bustling Baltimore defense in their first loss of the season on Sunday. Being a copycat league, Orton expects more of the same from a stout Pittsburgh unit. "If you play a good team and don't execute very well, then you are going to have trouble," Orton said. ("That is a) huge priority in practice this week, making sure we have three or four great practices and to be on top of things and be ready to go by Monday."
