Kansas coach Glen Mason said there was no such thing as an ugly victory.
However, Saturday's 23-17 victory against the University of Tulsa was not a thing of beauty. The two teams played each other six fumibles and two interceptions.
Tulsa took over at mid-field.
On its opening drive, Kansas ran the ball down the field on the legs of tailback Tony Sands and fullback Roger Robben.
"Didn't start off to well?" Mason asked. "That's an understatement
"I know we're an improved football team because we didn't play well and we still won."
On Tuila's opening drive, the Jayhawk defense stopped the Hurricane at the Kansas 13-yard line. Eric Lange and his team stepped aside despite having the wind at his back.
It was the first of several missed opportunities for Tulsa.
I knew those opportunities would come back to haunt us," Tula coach Dave Radeer said, "and they did."
Hilleary killed the 'Hawks second drive when he tripped and fell on third down.
The Kansas offense was equally ineffective.
"It was a nightmare," Hilleary said. "I didn't have the kind of game I'm can-cap of having."
Hilleary was 10 of 17 for 96 yards passing.
After sophomore Dan Eichloff the punt took a big Tulsa bounce back to
The Jayhawks again drove into Tulsa territory on the next drive, but Hays struckuck and sacking Hillery an entire field, and fuddled of fumble of the day at the Tulsa 42.
Although the Kansas offense sputtered, the defense sparkled.
Tim Hill, who led the team in interceptions last year, matched his 1990 season record.
The senior cornerback returned to the JAYHAWK in the first quarter to the Jayhawk 35.
"We put some good pressure on the quarterback," Mason said. "If our
defense hadn't been playing the way they were, it could have been a whole different ball game."
On their fourth possession the Jay-
hawks were forced to punt again. However, the defense was on the field for just 34 seconds.
After Hill stopped Tulsa again by breaking up a deep third-down pass, Sands turned on the offense.
It took the offense 3 minutes and seven plays to tie the score with an Eichloh field goal.
Sands' 57-yard touchdown run was the 21st of his career, tying him for first place in the Kansas record book with Laverne Smith for rushing touchdowns.
With 157 yards rushing, Sands passed John Riggins and Gale Sayers and moved into second place behind Smith on the school's all-time rushing
"The offensive line and Tony Sands passed Gale Sayers," he said. "It's a team effort."
Staying in character, the 5-foot-t back gave credit of his accomplishment to the offensive line.
The defense turned Rubley away empty handed again on Tulsa's next possession. Senior defensive end David Cunningham took down Rubley's third-down pass.
Eichloff hit a 48 yard field goal, givin
Kansas a 13-10 saltive lead.
In the second half, the Kansas defense picked up right where it left off. Sophomore defensive tackle Brian Sankin sacked Rubley, forcing a fumble.
Kansas ended the game the way it began, with Sands and Robbene pounding out first downs.
The Hurricane's Mario Fair broke through for one final score after Gus Freroter ran 24 yards on a faked punt.
In its first two games of 1990, Kansas gave up 71 points. However, defensive coordinator Bob Fello said it was no surprise that the defense had surrendered just 20 points in the first two games this year.

Both the Kansas and women's teams played second fiddle to A's Arkansas at the Jayhawk game.
The No. 1-ranked Razorbacks won both the men's and women's divisions of the eight-team invitational, far outdistancing Kansas.
The Arkansas men scored 38, and Kansas was next at 76. Colorado finished third with 86. The Lady Razorbacks scored 29, while the Kansas women were next at 75.
"Arkansas has a great team, and I don't feel bad finishing behind them," Coach Gary Schwartz said. "The team ran better, and it was on a lot tough course.
Senior Sean Sheridan led the 14-ranked Kansas men with a time of 25.37, which was good for 80.96.
"It was basically a smooth race. "Sheridan said. "I tried to stick with the Arkansas snups.
"They try and intimidate people by running in a pack, but they are human. They hurt, too. They started stringing out the last mile, and I knocked off about three of them."
Sheridan said it was all part of a mental game. "You have to embrace the pain and ignore the pain."
You have to enforce the pain and ignore the urge to quit longer than the other guy, he said.
Sophomore Michael Cox finished 11th overall and second for Kansas, followed by Alcot Belen at 13th. Kienna Slate and Sam Froese rounded out the Jayhawks' top five runners.
Julia Saul paced the women's team for the second consecutive week with a time of 18:13. Saul finished fourth overall, only 20 seconds behind the leader.
"They are a tough team, but we mixed it up with them." Cox said. "If we can mix it up with the other team, we win."
"I expected her to be in the top three to five," Schwartz said.
Kristin Kloster was the second Kansas finisher at 12 overall, followed by Daniela Daggy at an equally low score.
Senior Cathy Palacios, nursing a fracture in her ankle, took a pill on the course, but was able to get up and round out the Kansas top five with a time of 20:06.
Palacios said that the team was much improved this year but that everyone was need-ful.
"In your senior year you don’t want to let down the team," she said. "Fracture or no fracture, I’ll be back."
