Kealing gets kicked; upsets uncommon last week
I suppose I must step forward and take the whipping I deserve for my abysmal performance this past weekend. The only thing I can say is I was sleep-derived.

Meyer was very excited to find out about his victory, however, he was more focused on the Chiefs' game yesterday and offered little wisdom as to how he selected his winning teams.

Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mo. sophomore in journalism and political science.
Kansas' primary kick returner, Greg Heaggans, did not travel with the team to Evanston, Ill. on Saturday. Heaggans was arrested for drunk driving early last Thursday morning on Sixth Street between Folks Road and Wakarusa Drive.
The athletic department would not comment on whether
Heaggans, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., would return to the team.
John Randle took over He aeg gans' duties as the primary kick returner during
returrier during Saturday's loss to Northwestern. He returned the opening kickoff
37 yards.
Heaggans was taken to the Douglas County jail and released on $250 bail, according to information published in the Lawrence Journal-World.
This is not Heagans' first brush with the law. He was linked to an incident on Nov. 19,2003,when beer was stolen from a convenience store. He is on diversion for his involvement with this incident.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino
would not comment on Heaggans' situation during his press conference on Saturday.
Mason Logan, sports information director, said Mangino would handle the situation internally.
Mangino has taken action when other members of the team have had run-ins with the law.
In April, Randle was sentenced to two days in the Douglas County Jail for attempted theft, disorderly conduct and possessing a fake driver's license. Mangino benched him for the first half of the season-opener against Tula.
Heaggans' absence could have an impact on a special teams unit that had played well until Saturday.
In the first two games,
Heaggans averaged a hefty 33.2
yards per return.
He also holds the school record for most kick return
Saturday Kicker Johnny Beek missed two field goals, including one that would have tied the game with 23 seconds remaining.
The special teams struggled on Saturday.
"There are a lot of areas of it that are good," Mangino said about the special teams. "But we are going to continue to work on what we are doing."

"This is probably the most difficult place for us to play all season," Bechard said of G. Rollie White Coliseum in College Station, Texas.
The points came easier for Kansas yesterday against North Dakota State at the friendly Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks swept the Bison, 30-19, 30-21, 30-21.

Andi Rozum, junior setter, sets the ball against North Dakota State yesterday. The No. 24 Kansas volleyball team swept the Bison at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center to improve its non-conference record to 9-0 on the season.
Senior libero Jill Dorsey surpassed the 1,000 dig mark for her career Sunday after posting 16 on Friday and 13 on Sunday. Her total is now 1,007.
Kansas will face Texas Tech at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
"We ended conference play on a high note," Bechard said. "Now we have to focus on Big 12 plav."
Almost 700 fans turned out to welcome the Jayhawks to their first game of a four-match homestand.
"They're one of the more highenergy teams in the Big 12," Bechard said of his team's next opponent.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Hee-Won Han made a four-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to beat Lorie Kane and win the Safeway Classic yesterday.
Han birdied the par-four 18th
in regulation to force the playoff with Kane at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club. Han, who closed with a 5-under 67 for a 9-under 207 total, won her third LPGA Tour title.
Two-time defending champion Annika Sorenstam had a final-round 70 and finished in a group two shots back at 7-under 209.

to 13-3 with a 21-yard field goal by Huffman.
Kansas started the fourth quarter in need of points, and the offense obliged. During a 75-yard drive, Barmann connected on a seven-yard touchdown pass to Rideau.
The two connected again from 20 yards out on the Jayhawks' next offensive series, and Kansas grabbed its first and only lead, 17-13, midway through the fourth quarter.
"It was all about using different strategy," Rideau said. "The first half, I tried to play relaxed, just let the play make itself, instead of making the play."
The Jayhawks' lead was shortlived as Northwestern scored on its next series to seal the Wildcats' first win of the season.
Beck had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute and a half remaining, but his 43-yard field goal attempt sailed just wide. Overall, Kansas was 1-for-3 on field goals in the game. Beck missed both his attempts, and Webb made one.
A week and a half ago coach
Mangino announced that Webb would kick all field goals spotted within the 20-yard line and all extra points. Beck would kick field goals beyond the 20 yard line.
The Jayhawks had more penalty yards than rushing yards. They were penalized 11 times for 84 yards. In comparison, they netted just 47 yards rushing on 26 carries. Both Green and sophomore running back John Randle were unable to react to the various defensive schemes that Northwestern threw at them.

"We want to be aggressive, but we have to be smart," Mangino
said. "Too many penalties. Way, way too many penalties."
After the game, Mangino offered his own explanation for why the team struggled as much as it did against Northwestern.
■ Junior wide receiver and kick returner Greg Heagans, who was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated late last week, did not play and was not seen with the team at the game.
"Our team has to mature," he said. "We're going through a process where we're trying to take guys who haven't played a lot and we're trying to get them to be mature enough to handle a tough game."

DEFENSE: One big NU drive

"Mark is a great player, he showed it today." Basanez said. "He has good speed and instincts, and our linemen are great players. They got down-field and made blocks. That was a heck of a play."
Philmore caught the ball and cut across the middle, weaving in between Kansas defenders to get the big gain.

Arizona State.
This weekend's game was different for the Wildcats as they had two previous close losses. Northwestern took the lead for good when Basanez threw a 12 yard touchdown pass to Brandon Horn.
Philmore had another strong outing on Saturday as he caught seven passes for 113 yards. Philmore is averaging more than 100 yards receiving per game
thus far this season.
"Three minutes left, all we had to do was stop them. We didn't do it," Kansas linebacker Nick Reid said. "There are really no excuses, they just outplayed us."
Wildcat running back Noah Herron rushed for 85 yards on 18 carries and on his one touch on the final scoring drive he rushed for 13 yards, which eventually set up the game winning touchdown.
"He is a big kid, he runs hard every play and he'll make you miss," Reid said. "He's a good running back, and it's good for us to see that because the Big 12 has a lot of good running backs."
