You guessed it 1968 To be sure there a lot for the Jayhawks to feel good about these days but their performance Saturday one of them "We made every mistake In the said Mason KU was lucky that the Cowboys made more with five turnovers including four interceptions "Too bad we do more with said free safety Kwamle Lassiter who had two of the Interceptions and forced a fumble As it was they spent most of the day watching Dan Riffhinff kick four field goals Maybe Eichloff had a tired leg by the time hb 32-yard punt set OSU up with a short drive for a touchdown with less than a minute remaining Finally KU did something right though and recovered the onside kick It was touch and go up to then Take KITS offensive nap for much of the day Or the defense that let the Cowboys waltz through It on their last sewing drive It was enough to leave OSU freshman quarterback Gary Porter feeling cocky Emporia -Ronald Moore took the pitch from his auartertnek and headed right felt a hand hit his foot in the backfield tripped stumbled staggered kept staggering and finally dived to muddy turf Net gain on the play: 8 yards Ronald Moore has run for nearly 4800 yards in his career at Pittsburg State He runs for almost 175 yards a game This season he has run for more yards than any other NCAA Division player He does 8 yards in his sleep He usually work up a head of steam until he's gone that tar Eight yards is nothing But seldom has he had a bigger run than that 8yarder against Emporia State on Saturday which came on a third-and-four play in the fourth quarter against a very pesky upset-minded horde of Hornets who had just trimmed the Gorilla lead to seven prints 37-30 That run keyed a drive that ended with Moore taking the ban into the end zone untouched from 5 yards out to give PSU a 4330 lead And one Gorilla Interception later Moore led an 81-yard PSU drive for the clinching touchdown banging out 60 yards on four carries during the drive and going the last 10 yards by himself Moore stumble and look funny on too many runs but that one on third and four was the turning print In PSlTs 4M8 victory over 12th-ranked Emporia State All day I had the feeling Moore could just about take control of the game any time his coaches decided to give him the ban but they didn't always do that for some good reasons Moore touch the ball for the first seven minutes of the game When he finally did touch It he ran with It for 56 yards Put a move on a Hornet defensive back that froze the poor guy solid then tore downfiekl to the ESU 14-yard line The run set up bis first touchdown Rafael Demon it buried by Jayhawks Hobart Vaughn (38) Chris Mawnalanga (72) and Kwamk Lassiter (8) See JAYHAWKS Page 11G TOP 25 LOSERS OU downs K-State in unimpressive fashion High-tech Buffaloes fall apart in Lincoln No 7 Georga lost to No 20 Florida 26-24 No 8 Colorado lost to No 8 Nebraska 52-7 Osborne Huskers dominate destroy offense Wildcats hurt by missed field goal in third quarter No 14 Berm State lost to Brigiam Young 30-17 No 15 Stanford lost to No 2 Washington 41-7 By Bob Lutz By Brag Coudi The Wichita Eagle No 16 Tennessee lost to South Carolna 24-23 and tied another Blood-thirsty fans though weren't quenched K-State had 10 times more rushing yardage (160) than last week against Colorado but still lost Oklahoma coach Gary Gibbs was booed soundly by many of the 6030 fans and that's a questionable number who showed up 15000 under capacity at Memorial Stadium Scalpers lots of them offered great buys on tickets before the game TU sell you three good seats for 20 one said to a man who was with hb family that's a great the man said K-State lost lb fourth In a row Carmer said "He deserves thb he needs thb can do it He Just proved that Questions about Osborne have dogged him recently Had the game passed him by?
