Oc tober 12, 1963, Nebraska's Cornhuskers discovered some thing different His name is Terry Isaacson and their name is the Falcons Some people still don't be lieve it But to the Huskers, the Air Force team that dumped them 17 to 13 Satur day, is a very real "discov ery." It was Nebraska's first loss of the season. ' An inconsistent offense and foxy Isaacson combined to throw favored Nebraska on a weekend of at least ten major upsets across the nation. The contest was a curious mixture of good and bad breaks for both sides, but Isaacson stuck out like a sore thumb as the man with all the answers. The Falcon quarterback passed for 169 yards and ran for an additional 69. In the first half, the Scarlet twice drove with ease inside the Air Force 25 yard line only to sputter and relinquish the ball. Dennis Claridge pushed the vaunted Nebraska ground attack 64 yards on the first time with the ball with Willie Ross and Rudy John son blazing through the Fal con defense. Then, on the Fal con twenty yard stripe, Huskers missed assignments they had made earlier in the drive and the visitors made stops they had missed earlier With two exceptions, this told the story of Nebraska s in' ability to score. Coacn Ken Martin s scrap pers drove 92 yards to score early in the second quarter to get their 7 to 0 half time ad vantage. Isaacson's 41 yard pass to halfback Dick Czarnota was the big play and Czarnota pushed over from the one yard line to cap the drive. After stopping the fired-up Falcons, Nebraska opened the second half with what seemed to the crowd to be the break they needed. On the first play, t fix . rMit PHOTO BY BU.

Fullback Noble Milton re covered a fumble on the Oklahoma State seven, and two plays later quarterback Frank Cesarek ran four yards for the first score of the game. Two minutes later Colorado scored again after a Cowboy punt traveled only eight yards to the Colorado 48. Bill Harris scored. Colorado scored two more touchdowns m trie fourth quarter on short runs after recovered fumbles by tackles Marts Harshbarger and Rich Redd. i Rudy Johnson broke through the middle of the Air Force secondary, used a timely block from end Tony Jeter, and pranced 76 yards to the end zone. Dave Theisen kicked his sixth straight extra point try and the score was tied, 7 to 7. Nebraska appeared ready to stage another strong second half as has been the pattern this year, but Isaacson and the lighter teammates knew different. They drove to the Husker eleven and took the lead on a Bart Holaday field goal. Minutes later the revived Nebraskans drove 49 yards on four plays to grab the lead again. Kent McCloughan took the big chunk, reversing his field twice and racing 45 yards to the Falcon five. One play later, Bruce Smith hurtled over from his fullback position. Claridge tried a two point conversion that puzzled many grandstand quarter backs and failed, but the Hus kers carried a 13 to 10 edge into the fourth darter. Nebraska ut ed tough end play from Tony Jeter and Larry Tomlinson plus bruis ing line play from Bob Brown and Lloyd Voss to stymie Isaacson until the final' mo ments. In fact, the Scarlet was pushing for an insurance touchdown with five minutes left Bob Hohn took sub Fred Duda's pitch and ran 35 yards around left end to the Fal con 47. Then W illie Ross bat tered his way for ten more to the 41 after Duda had plunged for two yards. Again, the Husker machinery broke down. Ted Vactor tried the left side once more, but as in the first half, red-shirted blockers disappeared and the blue and white swarmed the sophomore speedster for a t h r e e yard loss. Isaacson set out to prove the Huskers couldn't protect their slim lead. He proved it. It took eighty yards on six straight Isaacson completions in less than two minutes and the Falcons were out in front for good j Former Captain Leads Qualifiers mi. a. . . & i ne top ten Dowiers are now determined after Satur day morning's final nine games.
