Sports University Daily Kansan / Monday, January 26, 1987 9 Giants win bowl with second-half surge The Associated Press PASADENA, Calif. — The New York Giants won their first National Football League championship in 30 years yesterday, scoring 30 points in the second half to beat the Denver Broncos 39-20. The Giants' Super Bowl victory was earned primarily in two areas: the highly publicized defense and the underpublicized Phil Simms, who ran a distant second to his Denver counterpart, John Elway, in the pre-game hype. All Simms did was complete 22 of his 25 passes — a Super Bowl record 48 percent. He threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns and was named the Most Valuable Player of the game. Simms set another Super Bowl record with 10 consecutive completions during the third and fourth quarter, when the Giants allowed a 10-9 halftime deficit into a 33-10 lead without allowing as much as a first-down to Denver. "I think that ought to dispel any myth about Phil Simms." Giants Coach Bill Parecells said of his quarterback who was frequently booed during his eight years with the team. "He was absolutely magnificent today. That's as good as he has ever played." New York, playing in its first Super Bowl, started its second-halve surge innocently enough. Three plays netted nine yards, and the Giants' punting team ran onto the field to punt from its own 46. Suddenly, the giants shifted out of punt formation, and Jeff Rutledge second-second quarterback, came up behind, the center. The ball was snapped and Rutledge snuck for one yard and a first down. New York's Simms wins respect and MVP PASADENA, Calif. — In the week leading up to the Super Bowl, New York's defense and Denver's quarterback both overshadowed Phil Simms. United Press International Yesterday, Simms stood above them both, leading the Giants to the National Football League championship with a 39-20 victory over the Denver Broncos. He completed 22 of 25 passes — a playoff-record 88 percent — for 268 yards and three touchdowns, and was selected the game's Most Valuable Player. year," Simms said about the media snub "It doesn't hurt my feelings. It just got to me that nobody seemed to notice that we made big plays this Simms, who also completed 11 consecutive passes for a Super Bowl record, made plenty of big plays. But he said he knew this would be a day to remember when he first took the Rose Bowl field before the game. Six plays later, Simms hit tight end Mark Bavaro for 13 yards, the Giants led 16-10 and the rout was on. "I felt it warming up," he said. "I said to someone, 'I got it today.' I threw the ball real well. Our offense had done that. Nobody has been saying anything about us all week. Everyone has been talking about (Denver quarterback John) Elway." "It was about two feet," Parcels said of the fourth-down play. "You know, you're trying to win the game. This is for the world championship. It's not for faint-dressed people. He's either going to go for it or take a delay." Simms led the Giants to a touchdown on their first possession. "If it's not there, I'll take the delay. He looked over at me. I nodded my head to him, and he went for it." Denver Coach Dan Reeves lamented. "We just didn't have enough to make it interesting. They certainly are a great football team and they played a great game. In the first half, we should have scored at 10 more points at "We knew going into the game if we didn't take an average of every opportunity, we'll be in tough shape." "We were backed up to our 15-yard line the first three times we touched the ball. We felt going in we couldn't get in a scoring contest with them." least Most of Simms' handwork came after a first half in which Denver outplayed the Giants, who were favored by 10 points, going off the field with a 10-9 lead that easily could have been 20-7 or 20-9. Early in the second quarter, New York held Denver without a point after the Broncos had a first-and-goal from their 1-yard line. Rich Karlis. Broncos place-kicker, missed field goals from 23 and 34 yards for Denver, one after that, goal-line stand. So dominant was Elway in the second period that he accounted for 200 yards on his own, 187 passing and 13 rushing. That is 13 yards more than Denver's total offense when sacks are figured in. Then came the third quarter in which the Giants outgained the Broncos 163 yards to 2, scoring 17 points. From the time the Broncos led 10-9 until the time the Giants led 33-10, Denver was without a first down, going out 1-2-3 punt on two occasions and Elway throwing an interception on the other. After Simms's third-quarter touchdown pass to Bavaro, Denver, which went the entire third quarter without calling a running play, punted after three plays. The punt was returned 25 yards by Phil McConkey to the Denver 36-yard line. Eight plays later, Raul Allegre's 21-yard field goal made it 19-10. Instant replay was used for the first time in a Super Bowl yesterday, and the Bronco's receiver involved in the play said it was a turning point. "I don't care how they look at it, whether from every angle or just one," Denver's Clarence Kay said. The play in question occurred in the second quarter on a second down pass from the Denver 13-yard line, occurs on the field ruled that Elway's pass had bounced over the goal line. The referee uphold by Art McNally, the replay official for the game Manning, Jayhawks dominate N.C. State 74-60 Instead of having a first down outside the Denver 25-yard line, the Broncos faced third down and 12 from the 3. On that play, Giants defensive end George Martin gassed in the end zone for a safety that pulled the giants to 10-9. By ROB KNAPP Staff writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Danny Mannin, a North Carolina all-stater his junior year in high school and heavily recruited by North Carolina State, enrolled at Kansas in the fall of 1943. Wolfpack boosters were sorry then, but they're even sorrier now. Men's Basketball Manning scored 30 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, leading Kansas past N.C. State 7-40 yesterday before a win against Houston on December 11. 6:42 p.m. at Kemper Arena. Manning continued his dominance of N.C. State that began in the second half of last year's National College Athletic Association Midwest Regional Championship, also played at Kemper. In that game, Manning scored 19 points in the second half and rallied the Jayhawks to a 75-67 victory. The win eliminated N.C. State from the tournament and sent Kansas to the Final Four in Dallas. "If he had the killer instinct, he would have had a career-high," Kansas coach Larry Brown said yesterday. Manning had a lot of kids to play with. "A lot of guys would get 40 on a night like he was having. He just wanted to get the other kids involved." Guards Mark Turgeon and Milt Newton came off the bench to replace Hunter, and Mark Randall and Keith left by Piper. Two early fouls committed by both guard Cedric Hunter and by forward Chris Piper started the parade of replacements from the Kansas bench. With about nine minutes left in the first half, all 12 available Jayhawks had gone into the game. No matter who Kansas had on the floor, N.C. State could not shoot over, under or around them. The Wolfpack, who never led in the game, suffered through a miserable day from the floor, hitting 28.3 percent of their field-goal attempts. They hit only 8 of their 36 shots in the second half. "Congratulations to KU, but don't get too excited about beating us." N.C. State coach Jim Valvano said. "We just used poorly." Kansas 74 N.C. State 60 Kansas improved its record to 13.5. N.C. State, currently ranked 20th by The Associated Press, dropped to 12-5. Kansas Wolfpack guard Kenny Drummond, whose 26 points led N.C. State to an upset over 12th-ranked Duke Wednesday night, could manage only 10 points. Drummond had trouble penetrating the Jayhawk defense and scored most of his points from outside. | | M | FG | FT | R | A | F | TP | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Manning | 37 | 14-21 | 22 | 14 | 1 | 30 | 1 | | Piper | 18 | 1-4 | 0-0 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 | | Pellock | 16 | 2-8 | 0-0 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 4 | | Hunter | 24 | 4-6 | 3-6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 11 | | Hunter | 22 | 4-6 | 3-6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 11 | | Prichard | 26 | 0-5 | 0-0 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | Akvaroid | 3 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Randall | 11 | 1-1 | 0-1 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | | Newton | 11 | 1-4 | 0-0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | | Harris | 27 | 2-4 | 8-0 | 6 | 0 | 3 | 12 | | Guelderen | 3 | 0-0 | 2-2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | Totals | 29-59 | 15-19 | 41-29 | 16 | 21 | 73 | 44 | Percentages: FG_491 FT_789 Three-point goals: 1.5 (Turgon 1.62, Prischard 0.3) dally (Turgon 1.62, Prischard 0.3) Turnovers: 19 (Hunter 7), Steals: 1 (Manning, Piter, Hunter Hara, Turgon) turnovers: 24 (Hunter Hara, Turgon) N.

Mo Manning, high scorer and rebounder for the Jayhawks with 30 points and 14 rebounds, led Kansas to a 74-60 victory over North Carolina State. "One of the big factors was that without Cedric in, we were able to keep Drummond from hurting us," Brown said. After a slow start, N.C. State center Charles Shackleford began to establish himself inside, finishing with eight points at halftime. But Shackleford disappeared in the seeder, never hitting a shot from the field. Forward Benny Bolton led the Wolfpack in scoring with 22 points. The Jayhawks took an early 10-2 lead, but N.C. State had its only hot shooting streak of the game and pull off a win against about halfway through the first half. With the score 30-25 in favor of Kansas, N.C. State guard Kelsey Weems stole the ball from Turgeon and appeared to be open for an uncontested layup. But Turgeon chased Weems down, stole the ball and then scored off an assist from Randall. Kansas began to set up for the three-point shot late in the quarter. Turgeon hit a jump-shot from just outside the three-point line late in the game and pushed the Jayhawk total to 39. The half ended with Kansas ahead 1-2. Kansas continued to pull away in the second half. As N.C. State's shooting pains worsened, the "When teams play Danny one-on-one," Turgeon said, "there's nobody in the country that can guard him, so Jayhawks consistently found Manning open in the middle we go to him as much as we can." With his 30 points, Manning passed former teammate Ron Kellogg on the all-time Kansas career scoring list. Manning is now in fifth place with 1,428 points, having passed Kellogg, who has 1,508. He is closing in on Calvin Thompson, who is No. 4 on the list with 1,548.

Kentucky 80 Navv 69 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Rex Chapman scored 22 points, leading four Wildcats in double figures yesterday, and guided Kentucky to an 80-69 victory over No. 18 Navy. The Wildcats overcame 45 points from Navy center David Robinson. The 7-1 Robinson blocked 10 shots, grabbed 14 rebounds and committed only three turnovers. Robinson's 45 points were the most by a player in Rupp Arena, and matched his career high set this year at James Madison. Kentucky improved to 11-5 on the year, and the Midshipmen dropped to 13-5.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Even though Kansas played yesterday's game against North Carolina State over the state line and the victory goes in the books as an away game, Kemper Arena has been a home away from home for the Jahwacks. Opposing coaches, including N.C. State's Jim Valvano, have argued that playing Kansas in Kemper is almost like playing Kansas in Allen Field House. Valvano's Wolfpack lost to Kansas last year 75-61 in the National College Athletic Association Midwestern Regional finals in Kemper. "I still think we'd have been better off not playing in front of 17,000 people from Kansas yelling 'Rock Chalk, Jayhawk,' Valano said after last year's game "I still don't know what it means." The Jayhawks won a trip to Dallas and the Final Four. The 'Pack won a trip back home to think about this season. But yesterday's game was a different story for the Wolfpack, and Valvano. "We just played poorly and the statistics showed that," Valvano said. "I can't remember the last time that we played poorly. N. C. State shot a pitiful 28 percent field in its loss to the Jayhawk. Kansas' record in Kansas City is 132-60, and 29-9 in Kemper Arena. The red beak-'em-hawks shirts stood out in the crowd, but some N.C. State fans showed up, too. The Wolf pack backers were from Marysville, Mo., all 10 or 15 of them, and they stood behind the N.C. State bench. With eight minutes left, Kansas coach Larry Brown turned to the crowd after Manning scored his 30th point and raised his arms and commanded the fans to cheer. The whole side of the arena stood and hollered. But Valvano had support, too. Even though his support consisted of signs that read, "The Pack," waving in the seats directly behind him, and one admirer trying to take his picture, it could still count as support. Valvano said he never thought about the home-court factor because "Larry Brown's team . Danny Manning . the bench beat NC State." Valvano said. "Not the crowd." Valvano said his team's difficult schedule might have played a part in the loss, but the Rock Chalk chant was not a factor. "I am bewildered with the performance, but I really think that when you have a series of games that you have to get up for, you will have a performance like this." Valvano said. Last season, Kansas won the BMA tournament, Big Eight Conference Post Season Tournament and NCAA all of which were played at Kemper.
