Kansas star Bert Coan was named back of the week by Jim Kensis after scoring two touchdowns and rushing for 67 yards in the Jayhawks 23-7 upset of Missouri. Coan outgained Missouri individually and helped drop the Tigers from first to fifth in the AP rankings as Kansas, led by QB John Hadi, built a 3-0 lead before Coan’s 19-yard TD pass and a four point third period run. Missouri coach Dan Devine praised Coan’s impact, noting he hurt them more than anyone else. Coan, a 20-year-old sophomore from Pasadena Texas, transferred from Texas Christian amid NCAA scrutiny that barred postseason bowl play for Kansas for a year.
