New recruits from junior colleges to replace graduates
Allen optimistic about next season
By Jodi M. Smith
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas football coach Terry Allen has said it all year — this year's football team is better than last year's.
And even after finishing dead last in the Big 12 Conference with a 4-7 record, Allen is still saying it.
"I've said all along, and I truly feel this way; we are a better football team than we were a year ago." Allen said during his final press conference of the season. "I know our record does not reflect that, but I still feel that our program has improved from where it was the first year."
Close-game losses are what have led Allen to that conclusion.
-Oklahoma State, Texas A&M
Baylor and Iowa State — were all lost by the 'Hawks in the final quarter.
Four different games this season
"When you lose in the fourth quarter on a consistent basis, and
there's no one particular thing you can point to there, that tells me that it's the little things as far as the discipline within your football team, the timing of your football team, the values the commitment, how important it is to you." Allen said.
Allen: Will start searching for junior college transfers.
Recruiting is where Allen plans to begin refining the little things.
The Kansas football team has 22 or 23 scholarships to give for next season, and Allen wants to split
those between high school seniors and junior-college transfers.
Primarily, Allen is searching the junior colleges for a quarterback
With the status of Zac Wegner still in the air, Allen's main concern is finding a quarterback to add to the small arsenal of freshmen Jonas Weatherbie and Jake Letourneau and sophomore Jav Alexander.
"It's not hard to recruit a quarter back for the University of Kansas right now, I guarantee you that."
"It is not hard to recruit a quarterback for the University of Kansas right now, I guarantee you that," Allen said. "You look at what we'd like to do offensively, the receivers that we have within our program at this particular time and the lack of depth we've demonstrated at the quarterback position. We can get our foot in the door with some pretty good quarterbacks at the junior-college level, and I feel as if we've done that."
In addition to a quarterback, Allen said he also will be searching the junior-college ranks for at least one player for each for the offensive line, secondary and linebacker positions.

And filling the starting positions of graduating seniors will not be too difficult, considering many back-ups stepped into starting roles this season because of injuries.
Center Bob Schmidt and Alexander both received their shots at starting after the original starters suffered injuries.
Volunteers marching closer to title
All of this adds up to an optimistic view of next season, as far as Allen is concerned.
"I'm a glass half full, not empty,
guy," he said.
National title hopes hinge on Bowl Series rankings for top three unbeatens
The Associated Press
Tennessee moved one step closer to a shot at the national title.
Tee Martin threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the top-ranked Volunteers routed Vanderbilt 41-0 Saturday.
If Tennessee (11-0, 8-0 Southeastern Conference) beats Mississippi State in the SEC title game next weekend, the Vols will probably get to play for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl.
The Vols are No. 1 in the Bowl Championship Series rankings, ahead of two other undefeated teams, UCLA and Kansas State. The top two teams in the BCS standings will meet in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 4.
"They're a well-deserving No. 1," Vanderbilt coach Woody Widenhofer said of the Vols. "In the four years that I've been here, this is the touchest team they've had."
UCLA and Kansas State each have a game left next Saturday. The Bruins play at No. 19 Miami, while Kansas State meets No. 6 Texas A&M for the Big 12 championship in St. Louis.
Tennessee intercepted four passes, recovered two fumbles and converted those turnovers into 24 points to beat Vanderbilt (2-9, 1-7) for the 16th straight time.
second possession of the third quarter. Adam Abrams kicked a 23-yard field goal 3:18 later to complete the scoring
The win was the third straight for USC (8-4)
"I don't think we did anything wrong out here today," said Tennessee receiver Peerless Price, who caught seven passes for 181 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown.
After struggling to score against Vandy the past three seasons, Tennessee finally got on track with 17 points in the second quarter for a 20-0 halftime lead.
USC 10, No. 9 Notre Dame 0
Los Angeles — Chad Morton rushed for 100 of his 128 yards in the second half, and the USC defense was at its best against the Irish. The game was scoreless until freshman quarterback Carson Palmer scored the first touchdown of his career on a 2-yard bootlegging, capping a 64-yard, five-play drive on UC'S
The win was ... against Notre Dame (9-2) after the Irish went 12-0-1 against the Trojans from 1983-95. It was the first time USC (8-4) has blanked Notre Dame since winning a 25-0 decision en route to the national championship in 1962.
Notre Dame, playing without injured quarterback Jarious Jackson, committed five turnovers, four on interceptions.
No.15 Michigan 48 Hawaii 17
Honolulu — Anthony Thomas ran for 104 yards and three scores in the first half, and Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes to Tai Streets — also in the opening 30 minutes — as Michigan routed Hawaii.
The Wolverines (9-3) kept their hopes of landing a good bowl berth intact, and extended the Rainbows' losing streak to 18 games, currently the longest in the nation. Hawaii's 0-12 record also matches college football's worst single-season mark, by Colorado State in 1981.
Thomas finished with 13 carries for 183 yards. Brady, replaced by freshman Drew Henson late in the first half, completed 9-0 of 10 passes for 142 yards. Streets had five catches for 90 yards.
No. 17 Georgia Tech 21, No. 12 Georgia 19
Athens, Ga.,—Brad Chambers kicked a 35-
yard field goal with two seconds remaining as Georgia Tech (9-2) ended a seven-year losing streak against Georgia (8-3).
The Yellow Jackets, co-champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference, had not
beaten Georgia since 1990, losing the last three years by a combined margin of 13 points.
Georgia Tech quarterback Joe Hamilton, who committed three turnovers, redeemed
No.16 Virginia 36,
No.20 Virginia Tech 32
Blacksburg, Va. — Ahmad Hawkins caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Brooks with 2:01 remaining to cap a big second-half comeback by Virginia.
The Cavaliers, who overcame a 29-7 halftime deficit, marched 93 yards in six plays for the winning score.
Virginia (9-2) is going to the Peach Bowl, while Virginia Tech (8-3) is still waiting for a bowl bid. Officials from the Music City and Gator bowls attended the game.
No. 21 Syracuse 66, No. 19 Miami 13
three touchdowns and threw for two as the Orangemen won the Big East title and earned a berth in the Bowl Championship Series.
Syracuse (8-3, 6-1), which will play in the Orange Bowl or Sugar Bowl, scored the most points against Miami (7-3, 5-2) since the Hurricanes lost to the Orangemen 56-16 in 1970. It was Miami's second-largest margin of defeat behind a 70-14 loss to Texas A&M in 1944.
No. 23 Penn St. 51, Michigan St. 28
State College, Pa. — Eric McCoo rushed for 206 yards, and David Macklin and Anthony King returned interceptions for touchdowns as Penn State strengthened its case for an eighth straight Jan.1 bowl.
McCoo also scored a touchdown and Travis Forney kicked a career-high five field goals for the Lions (8-3, 5-3 Big Ten), who have a chance to go to the Outback Bowl after finishing their home schedule unbeaten for the first time since 1994.
Michigan State (6-6, 4-4) didn't qualify for a bowl despite victories against Notre Dame and then No. 1 Ohio State.
