Big 12 coaches tackle next opponent
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Selected comments from Big 12 North coaches during their weekly conference call Monday:
NORTH
COLORADO (0-6, 0-1)
Most courts Saturday vs. Michigan
next game. Saturday, Va.-Michigan Coach Rick Neuehl said this weekend's game would be the type that made the season special.
"The nation's attention will be here in Boulder," he said. "This is the game that when we talk to recruits, we told them this is a good place to come."
Neuheisel said he knew much of the pregame hype would be revisiting the last-second Hail Mary pass from Kordell Stewart to Michael Westbrook that defeated the Wolverines two years ago.
"Really, that play has nothing to do with this team," he said. "This is a new edition of the Michigan Wolverines and a new edition of the Colorado Buffaloes."
IOWA STATE (04-13) at
Next game: Saturday, Iowa
IOWA STATE (0-1; 0-0)
next game. Saturday, April This season's installment of the annual grudge match between Iowa State and Iowa will be a personal one for Cyclones coach Dan McCarney, who spent 19 years as a player and coach for the Hawkeyes.
It's a lot of fun to be back and be a part of it," said McCarny, who missed
the rivalry for five years as an assistant coach at Wisconsin until returning last season. "The people in Iowa take it very seriously."
Iowa State was the host last year and lost 27-10. The game will be in Iowa City at Kinnick Stadium, making it even more emotional for McCarney.
"We played there when I was at Wisconsin, and it was an erie feeling being on the other side," he said. "I had 19 outstanding years there as a player and coach. I had a lot of great experiences."
KANSAS (1-0; 0-0)
Next game: Saturday, at Texas Christian
Coach Glen Mason wasn't counting on much from senior quarterback Ben Rutz this season because of a knee injury. But Rutz recovered enough to play in the opener against Ball State and threw a touchdown pass.
Starter Matt Johner completed 14 of 20 passes for 147 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter in a 35-10 victory.
"Our quarterback position is very healthy," Mason said. "I know the media would like to create a quarterback controversy. I just think we have a quarterback competition.
Tll make a decision based on who I
think will give us the best chance to win. I really don't have to make that decision until 8 p.m. Saturday night."
next game: Saturday, vs. Cincinnati The Wildcats had a successful opening season last year. They shut out three of their first five opponents and held a fourth to seven points.
KANSAS STATE (2-0;1-0)
KANSAS STATE (2-0, 1-0)
Next game: Saturday vs. Cincinnati
The biggest test was Cincinnati, which K-State defeated 23-21.
The Bearcats will bring memories of that near-win with them to Manhattan this weekend.
"They could've and probably should've won the ball game," said K-State coach Bill Snyder. "I believe they'll be here with that same attitude."
Several Wildcats have been talking about revenge.
"I don't know if that would run throughout our team," Snyder said. "I think there are some feelings in that respect. We understand we were fortunate to come back and win."
MISSOURI (0-1; 0-1)
Next game; Saturday, vs. Memphis
next game: Saturday, vs. Wembley.
One of the biggest success stories in the Big 12 could be Tigers defensive lineman David Rowe, a former walk-on who has become a key player for coach Larry Smith.
Smith said the 6-foot-3, 252-pound Rowe, a redshirt sophomore now on scholarship, made his presence felt in the spring. His climb up the depth chart
was aided by signe Pat Mingujucci being declared a partial qualifier and junior college transfer Michael LeMieux not panning out.
NEBERIA (4, 18, 0)
Next game: Sept. 21, at Arizona State
parsing it.
"He's just a kid who's worked his way up the program," Smith said of Rowe. "He's a guy that moved in an area where right now we're experiencing difficulty. He's been impressive in all of our drills, and against Texas."
NEBRASKA (1-0; 0-0)
"The first one set up a touchdown. The second one was a touchdown," said Nebraska coach Tom Osborne. "Mike just played awfully well.
next game, Sept. 21, 17 at Boca Raton.
Defensive back Mike Minter was named Big 12 defensive player of the week after coming up with two interceptions; the second of which he returned for an 84-yard touchdown in a 55-14 victory over Michigan State.
"He had an anterior cruciate ligament tear two years ago against Texas Tech and still played. He's fully recovered now. He's a great team leader, one of our captains. We're really proud of Mike."
Osborne also was happy with Scott Frost's debut at quarterback.
"I don't think he had over one or two plays that were bad," Osborne said. "He did some checking at the line. He seemed to be in total control of what he was thinking. I couldn't be more pleased with his demeanor, attitude and knowledge of the game."
Two teams in Big 12 South undefeated
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Selected comments from Big 12 South coaches during their weekly conference call Monday.
TEXAS A&M (0-1; 0-0)
next game; Saturday, at Southwestem Louisiana
Aggies coach R.C. Stocum is tired of walking up Saturdays and not having a game to play. A&M hasn't played since its Aug. 24 loss to Brigham Young in the Pigskin Classic.
"We're eager to play someone," Slocum said. "Three weeks without a game is something I've never done before, and I'm not interested in doing it again.
"It has been very frustrating."
Slocum said the layoff had been evident in workouts.
TEXAS (2-0;1-0)
"We practiced for five days last week, and by Friday we were very sluggish," he said. "We've got to back off a little bit."
Next game: Sept. 21, vs. Notre Dame
The Longhorns' schedule includes big
games against Notre Dame, Virginia,
Colorado and Texas A&M. Texas is off
the week before all but the Virginia
game.
This is the first of those off weeks as the Longhorns get two weeks to focus on the Fighting Irish, who whipped them 55-27 last season in South Bend, Ind.
TEXAS TECH (1-1; 1-1)
Next.gamet: Sept.21, at Georgia
Running back Byron Hanspard was named the Big 12's offensive player of the week for his 272-yard effort in a 31-3 nummeling of Oklahoma State.
Offensive coordinator Rick Dykes credited Hansard for learning how to run between the tackles, something he didn't do in high school.
"Out of high school, he was a speed back," Dykes said. "Now he has learned how to set up blocks, read blocks. Plus he has added about 10 pounds, so he can run through some blocks he couldn't as a freshman."
Dykes said he had noticed quarterback Zebbie Letheridge turning passes into runs too often.
That is one of the things we're going
to work on to see if we can improve the next two weeks," Dykes said.
Next game: Saturday, vs. Tulsa
OKLAHOMASTATE (1-1;0-1)
Despite being whipped by Texas Tech, Cowboys coach Bob Simmons enjoyed the experience of playing in Texas Stadium.
He liked it so much he wouldn't mind doing it again.
suggest it.
"It's something I just discussed with our athletic director," Simmons said.
"We're going to sit down and really talk about this thing with the administration and the students and get everyone involved."
OKLAHOMA (0-1; 0-0)
Next game: Sept. 21, at San Diego State.
Sooners rookie coach John Blake probably needed some cheering up after being slammed 20-7 by Texas Christian in his head coaching debut.
So Barry Switzer, Blake's former boss at OU and head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, called with some keep-your-head-up advice.
"He said, 'Hey, I saw your team play
irey didn't have mental mistakes. They played hard. You'll be fine. You'll do a good job. You'll bring the program back," Blake said.
BAYLOR (1-0; 0-0)
BALLOON (98, 6%)
New game: Saturday, at Louisville
next game. Saturday, at Loans Park
Bears coach Chuck Reedy said his staff was doing all it could to make sure freshman quarterback Odell James, one of the nation's hottest recruits last spring, is properly treating his injured knee.
"We've done about everything we can do," Reedy said. "We sent him to a guy in Dallas who is supposed to be one of the two or three best in the country. ... He concurred with the other opinions. Everyone says he needs to get strength up in the leg, and he won't have any recurring problems.
"It's just a slow process. He's probably still two or three weeks away from getting to work."
Reedy said redshirting had not even been discussed.
"I want him to continue to work and get ready to play," he said. "Then we'll see when he's ready and how many games are left."
Northwestern shaken by loss to Wake Forest
Wildcats fall to Demon Deacons during season opener after last season's success in the Big Ten
The Associated Press
But the Wildcats got over it. In a hurry.
EVANSTON, Il. — Northwestern's euphoric victory at Notre Dame in last season's opener made a loss to Miami of Ohio in the following game all the more difficult to withstand.
They went on to win nine straight games, capture a Big Ten championship and earn a trip to the Rose Bowl.
Now their pain is just as great, their obstacle more demanding: how to rebound from a 28-27 season-opening loss at Wake Forest, whose long-suffering program resembles Northwestern's of years past.
"No doubt this one hurt more than the Miami game," linebacker Pat Fitzgerald said Monday as the Wildcats, booted out of national polls, tried to redirect their attention to Saturday's game at Duke.
"Internally we had high expectations, and to go out and play the defense we did is really disappointing. It's a sick feeling to let down your teammates," he said.
"One game doesn't make a season. We know that. It didn't last year, and we're not going to let it this year."
The Wildcats played without suspended defensive back Hudhaifa Ismaeli, who is expected back Saturday, and could not protect a 24-13 fourth-quarter lead. They were beaten on a final-minute touchdown pass.
Northwestern had four turnovers against Wake Forest after only 13 all last season.
"We've got to let this go," said running back Darnell Autry, who gained 173 yards, his 14th straight 100-plus game. "We can't keep harping, 'Oh, man, how horrible this is.' We've got to let it go."
Coach Gary Barnett said the Wildcats must turn to their veteran players and regroup or face a long season.
"We have to take the hits we deserve and come back," said Barnett, admitting there would be a difficult task ahead.
"I think we all had this picture of ourselves, and when the picture you have in your mind doesn't match the picture that actually develops, either you have to change the picture that's in your mind or you go crazy," he said.
"And so either we have to play to the level that we see ourselves or we have to lower our standards, and I'm not about to lower our standards. I think we can be a heck of a good football team."
"We played totally unlike the defense that took the field a year ago. ... It's a tough lesson. Nobody is more disappointed in us than we are." Barnett said.
Barnett said his team didn't respect Wake Forest enough — a familiar theme from last season, when the Wildcats drew on the fact that many of their opponents and the pollsters didn't give them enough credit.
Our leadership has to take over and make a move. We're all to blame. I'm taking responsibility, too. So are our coaches.
"You can't just point to the kids and say, 'You didn't listen.' We all had a role. This is not new to us. We're not new to tough situations."
