Augustana now 3-1 had not lost a regular-season game since 1980 victory played quarterback John Sharkey a senior tackle on this team said he watched in disbelief from the sidelines as last-second field goal attempt fell short and wide hard to believe that we actually achieved what we set out to he said almost makes up for all the rough The game was one of the few at which television crews arrived after the action instead of before It was also a game in which fans streaming out of the stadium suddenly asserted that they had attended every home game in five years 10 years or more Next week is Yale going to take them one at a McElreavy said and particularly toward the end when Princeton missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt on the last play of the game Coach Larry McElreavy now 1-23

Monday Princeton 2-2 had taken a 10-0 lead and held a 13-9 lead after a touchdown by Kris Keys and two field goals by Chris Lutz Matt Less scored first touchdown and Matt Pollard's 33-yard field goal provided the difference for the Lions who lost their first three games this season The biggest contributor to victory was probably Greg Abbruzzese a sophomore tailback who carried the ball 37 times

minute 7 seconds of the second quarter the Tigers were merely adjusting their chin straps Missouri scored twice in less than 2 minutes late in the second quarter for a 24-14 halftime lead and the Wildcats never were close again Eleven Tigers including Tony VanZant in his 1988 debut rushed for 367 yards Seven Tigers scored touchdowns that ranged from pedestrian to spectacular Missouri 2-2-1 had its season-record touchdown pass (80 yards) run (49) punt return (11) and kickoff return (25) biggest offensive hope quarterback Paul Watson was knocked out at halftime The 10-point halftime cushion and the lesser arm of back-up Carl Straw opened it up for the Tiger defense They had four sacks and cornerback Adrian Jones made two interceptions thought we were a whole lot better team than Kansas said Jones who was burned twice for touchdowns last week against Miami knew if we came in here and got a blowout we could get our heads up When a coach is fired or resigns you expect a team to come out fired up We thought they were going to go crazy They just gave up after that second Fitzmaurice led the 71-yard drive that lasted 4 minutes 42 seconds and established dominance in the second quarter The biggest play of the drive was a 26-yard gain on a keeper by Fitzmaurice Chris Hall ran it the final 10 yards giving Missouri a 17-14 lead Then defensive dam collapsed On next possession Welch set up the 55-yard drive that made it 24-14 with a 45-yard pass to Craig Lammers second drive of the third quarter was an all-rushing 51 -yard surge that ended with Tommie 3-yard scoring run

have on John The coaches call a lot of different plays for me than they do for John I could tell when I first came in and ran the the first couple of options they basically have anyone on the quarterback I knew right then they expect too much from the What K-State got was a 28-7 beating in the second half The only touchdown through the air an 80-yard scoring catch and run by tight end Tim Bruton in the third quarter came from slick optioning by Welch He optioned down the right side of the line before stepping back into a ready-made pocket The K-State secondary had played the run and Bruton was wide open at the K-State 40 the first time had a chance to get out on the Widenhofer said (K-State) loosened up a little bit and we started running triple- and double-option We played
