By David Mitchell
Kansan Sportswriter
After taking a 41-3 beating in Norman, Okaa, last
week the football team will head south again
this weekend.
The Jayhawks need a victory against Oklahoma State tomorrow to bring their Big Eight Conference record to .500. The Jayhawks are 2-1 in the Big Eight.
"We're up and we're down." Mason said. "It was pretty good. All the sudden at Virginia it was."
However, Mason said the "Hawks could not afford to take the Cowboys lightly.
The Cowboys might be the team the Jayhawks need to get back on track. Oklahoma State is 0-6 in the regular season.
Coach:PatJones record: 0-6-1,0-2-1
"Their record is very misleading," Mason said. "That they're a lot of record offenses."
"Then it really dipped against Kansas State. It shot way back up against Iowa State. Expectations are high."
But he added, "They've had some inconsistency." That might be an understatement.
Senior tailback Tony Sands compared the young cowboy team to the losing Jayhawk teams of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Mason said that despite Oklahoma State's 0-6-1 record, the team was improving.
"They retungh, imware said. 'But they vemade some mistakes that have hurt them on big runs."
Last week, the Cowboys ended a six-game losing streak, but did not come away with a victory.
"They're like us in my sophomore year, 'Sands
but if we take them lightly, they're likely to
upstay it."
Game 8: 1:30 p.m., Nov.2, Lewis Field
The Cowboys have been outscored 203-62. They have lost four games by more than 25 points. Their defense has allowed an average of 405.3 yards a game.
Kansas junior offensive guard Scott Iwmale agreed with Mason's assessment of the Cowboys
Though the Cowboys are winless, they have not had an easy schedule. The Cowboy's non-conference schedule included Arizona State and the University of North Carolina; already have faced conference power Nebraska.

Cowboys had a chance to win, but Oklahoma State's Rick Ryers' 82-vard goal field goal fell short.
The Cowboy offense will be led by quarterback Kenny Ford, who is averaging 132.6 yards a game of total offense. Cowboy tailback Fafelson Damm is the team's leading rusher with 304 yards on 70 carries.
The 188 yards the Cowboy defense allowed last week was its lowest total of the season. The Cowboys have intercepted at least one pass in every game this season and were tied for the conference lead with four interceptions.
SIDELINES
Defensive end Jason Gildon leads the Big Eight with11.5 quarterback sacks.
The all-time series is tied at 23-23, but Kansas has won just once in the last 18 meetings.

Kansas faces fight for spot in Big Eight post-season tourney

The Kansas volleyball team will travel to Iowa State for a key Big Eight Conference match tonight.
"If we can win, it should at least clinch us a place in the tournament and maybe even third place." Kansas coach Frankie Albitz said.
Only the top four teams in conference play advance to the postseason tournament.
Kansas, 21-4 overall, is in third place with a 4-4 conference record, Iowa State is fourth with a 3-4 mark.
"Considering how we pull out
The teams will play at 7:30 p.m., and Albitz said she expected a battle.
"They're usually pretty tough at home," she said. "My team knows it's an important match."
Albitz said she was not concerned about the added pressure on the Javhawks.
Sophomore Cyndee Kanabel said the Jayhawks did not let the pressure bother them.
"My team responds well under those types of circumstances," she said.

wins when we need them shows we can keep our composure just fine," she said. "We still need to go in total depth to matter what the circumstances."
This will be the second meeting of the two teams this season. The first time the teams meet, Kansas pulled out a five-game victory. But the Jayhawks will not have a home-court advantage this time.
The Jayhawks expect another tough match.
"We played them hard here, so it should be a good game," Kanabel said.
Albitz said the teams were equally matched.
" Iowa State is pretty good with moving the ball around," Albizt said. " We're going to have to be really good at it, especially Wehave the confidence."
Albitz said the Jayhawks had been working on their middle hits, which have suffered in recent games.
"It's a combination of our hitters and setters," she said. "I hope it's going to be better.
"Our sets have been too close to the net, and our middle hitters have been tentative."
Kansas will play at Kansas State Wednesday.
Championships begin tomorrow
Big Eight cross country teams to compete
Kansan Sportswriter
By Jeff Kobs
It's the first leg of championship meets. The other two championship meets are districts and nationals.
"This is what all the summer preparation and all the fall training is for," Kansas coach Gary Schwartz said.
Teams from all of the Big Eight Conference schools will invade Lawrence tomorrow for the annual Big Eight cross country championships.
Schwartz said he expected the meet to be very competitive in both the men's and women's divisions.
"The individual race should be very competitive both ways," Schwartz said. "The team races should be very tight, too."
The meet, which will be at Rim Rock Farm, is scheduled to begin with the women's 5,000-meter race at 10:30 a.m. and the women's 6,000-meter race will follow at 11:15 a.m.
The weather might complicate tomorrow's races. The forecast calls for temperatures in the 30s.
"You start out worrying about heat exhaustion and by the end of the season you're worrying about frostbite." Schwartz said. "As long as we adapt to it, I don't care what the weather is like."
Schwartz said the course would be softer than usual because of the recent rain.
"It is the uniqueness of cross country," he said. "The courses are never the same and the footing is never the same.
The men's race will feature two nationally ranked teams. Iowa State checks in at No. 3, while Kansas is ranked 16th. Colorado and Kansas State both received votes in the coaches' poll.
"Courses gain reputations, and ours has a reputation as a difficult course, but we know how to run it."
Schwartz said he expected Kansas, Kansas State, Colorado and Oklahoma to challenge Iowa State for the title.
The coaches picked Iowa State to win the meet and Kansas State to finish second. Kansas was picked to finish third. The Jayhawks finished this victory.
Schwartz said the Iowa State team had talent and reputation preceding it.
The Cyclones have won the past four BigEight titles and seven of the last 10.
"The top-rated team has more strength than the others, but on a tough course with tough weather condition, nothing can happen." Schwartz said.

The Kansas women are the highest nationally ranked Big Eight team, coming in at No. 16. Also ranked are No. 18 Nebraska and No. 20 Kansas
"It's going to be the first time ever we face Kansas State as a top competitor," senior Cathy Palacios said. "We're not there for so long, but now we're more even."
"There are realistically three or four teams with a shot at the title," Schwartz said.
Palacios said the team was approaching the meet with a positive attitude.
"The course is tough enough without weather barriers, but that's cross country," she said. "You can't predict the weather."
She said the weather would not bother the team.
"It's not just going to be KU-K-State A team like Nebraska or Iowa State could come on and win it."
"All the teams will have to run in the same weather we do."
The Kansas women's team finished seventh in last year's conference meet but have already won three meets this season.
"I didn't anticipate what happened on the women's side, Schwartz said, "I knew we would be improved, but we was like getting a Christmas present."
For the first time ever, each team will be allowed to enter nine runners in the Big Eight meet. However, only the team will be used to figure the team scoring.
