Both the Jayhawks and Oklahoma's Sooners went into the game winless. Oklahoma came out with a 21-7 victory and a 1-3 record. Coach Jack Mitchell's club now stands 0-5.
Something had to give at Norman, Okla., Saturday, and it turned out to be KU.
Mitchell watched the game from the press box, for the first time in his career as head coach. A video tape machine, much like the "Instant Replay" camera used on television, enabled Mitchell and two of his staff to see a play immediately after completion.
Passing figures were the best they've been in several games. Bob Skahan, Columbus junior, and Bill Fenton, Kansas City junior, combined for 11 of 28 completions and 109 yards.
"OUR OFFENSE was far and away the best it been," he said. "We didn't stumble around and fumbles and penalties didn't bother us."
Hoover Brothers in Kansas City provided the video-tape on a demonstration basis. Mitchell couldn't have been happier with the results.
If it's any consolation, Mitchell felt KU's offense was the best it's been this season.
