Huskers Forget Texas;
Concentrate on Gophers
By Herb Probasco
Bill Jennings and his Corn
huskers were ready to forget
all about Texas, following
Saturday's 20-0 loss to the
Longhorns.
After the game the Nebras
ka mentor slouched sullenly
in an overstuffed chair in a
closet-like room off the var
sity coaches' office, chain
smoking cigarets and once in
a while taking a swig of a
7-up.
Chancellor Hardin and his
assistant J i m Pittenger
stopped in for a couple of
minutes and then a few of
the assistant coaches talked
with the tired Jennings.
Then he called the press in
for questions. "Gentlemen,"
he began. "You play your
hearts out, make a couple of
mistakes and there's the ball
game."
Asked what he thought of
Texas, Jennings replied,
"What do you think of any
team that beats you? When
we talk about speed," he add
ed, "and the need for speed,
you know what we're talking
about now."
They were fast and didn't
make any mistakes, he point
ed out, "but we want to for
get about Texas."
Huskers Better
Refusing to commend any
single player on the Husker
team, Jennings did say he
thought Don Fricke played
"fine" at fullback, in his first
appearance in the backfield
since moving from center.
"Everybody played hard," he
said.

When asked If he thought
the Huskers were any better
than last year at this time,
he refused to say at first,
then replied, "Wait, I take
that back. Sure, I think we're
better than last year."
The players themselves
were downcast but also ready
to forget about Texas.
Senior transfer Tom Kra
mer, who played well at the
quarterback position, had
plenty of praise for the Texan
team but added, "We're not
going to make mistakes like
this again. We learned a lot
out there today and we've got
'em now."
Sophomore speedster quar
terback for the Longhorns,
James Saxton, drew com
ment from most of the play
ers. Husker halfback Pat
Fischer, somewhat of a
speedster himself, and Kra
mer both agreed that Saxton
was one of the "fastest foot
ball players" they'd ever
played against.
Clay White was also voic
ing the feelings of the team,
saying that "We'll be pretty
good and take the rest of
them. We're in great condi
tion." Guard LeRoy Zentic point
ed out, 'They weren't that
good. They were fast, but we
outfought them. It could have
been a 7-7 game."
He added his feelings on
the Huskers' chances, not
ing that "line's so much bet
ter and our depth is no com
parison to last year."

PAT FISCHER nearly repeated his performance of last
year's opener with a 92 yard punt return against Texas,
Saturday, but officials ruled he stepped on the chalk line
as he threaded his way down the field. Nebraska was also
charged with a clipping penalty on the play.
Nebraska Tandem Quarterback
Surprises Everyone; TXJ Wins
By Hal Brown
Last year, Army stunned
the college football world with
it3 "Lonesome End". Satur
day, Bill Jenning's Huskers
surprised everyone in the
stadium when they came out
of the huddle and lined up
with two quarterbacks.
According to the rule book,
the formation is illegal and
we may never see it again.
But, whether Nebraska uses
it again or not, it will make
wonderful material for cof
fee break conversations.
Rule 7 Section 1 bl says,
"The offensive team must
be in a formation which
meets these requirements: At
least seven players must be
on their scrimmage line.
The remaining players must
be either on their scrimmage
line or behind their backfield
line except as follows:
One player may be between
his scrimmage line and his
backfield line if placed in a
position to receive a hand-to-hand
snap from between
the. Snapper's legs. When in
such position that player may
receive the snap himself or
it may go directly to any
back.
Texas' coach Darrell, Royal
and his players agreed that
the formation was a complete
surprise to them.
The "tandem quarterback"
formation moved Nebraska
from their own 29 to the
Texas 40 yard line before
Texas stopped the drive. With
the formation, the Huskers
had Tom Kramer and Pat
Fischer as twin quarterbacks.
The most successful play
from the formation was a 12
yard run by Fischer around
left end while Kramer went
the other way.
Although Nebraska was the
loser by 20-0, they did show
that no team was going to
run over them this year. If
Saturday's performance was
any indication, the Huskers
will cause plenty of trouble
in the Big Eight.
The defense gave ground
very grudgingly and made
things most uncomfortable for
Texas punters during the aft
ernoon. The Nebraska defens
ive rushes were particularly
effective against punters
Bobby Lackey and Jim Saxton.
Lackey was forced to hurry
two punts for a total of only
58 yards or a 29 yard aver
age. Saxton didn't fare much
better with three punts for 97
yards or a 32.3 yard average.
The Huskers gave up a total
.of only 241 net yards, which
is less than they gave up in
any game last year. The few
est net yards given up last
year was 279 against Kansas
State.
Both coaches agreed that
two costly fumbles by Ne
braska made the big differ
ence in the game. Longhorn
Coach Royal said, "If you
check back, you will see that
we scored twice as a result
of Nebraska fumbles. We were
lucky to get those two
breaks."
Jennings commented, "They
(Texas) didn't make any mis
takes, we made two and were

' Texas' first score came with
four seconds gone in the sec
ond quarter when Left Half
back Jack Collins went over
from the two-yard line. The
drive started when Texas'
David Russell recovered a
Noel Martin fumble on the 50.
It took the Longhorns 12
plays to move the ball 50
yards to paydirt with Right
Halfback Rene Ramirez do
ing most of the ball carrying.
The second Longhorn score
also came as a result of a
Husker fumble. With the ball
on the Nebraska 26, a mixup
in the Husker backfield
caused a fumble and Left
Tackle Larry Stephens
pounced on the ball for Texas
on the 23 yard line.
This is where Nebraskans
saw an example of real
speed. . Quarterback Saxton
kept the ball and waved his
way through the entire Ne
braska team for a touchdown.
Lackey added both extra
points for the Longhorns. He
missed on his third attempt.
The third and final Texas
touchdown came early in the
third quarter as they moved
33 yards in six plays for the
score. The scoring play was
a 13 yard pass from Lackey

"I thought Nebraska looked
good and especially Fischer.
That boy can run," com
mented Royal in the dren
ing room after the game.
Co-captain M onte Lee
added, "I think they ar. aa
average ball club. They hit
hard."
, "I thought Tom Kramer
looked real good. They (Ne
braska) were really fired up
that first half but those two
fumbles hurt them," said Left
Tackle Don Talber.
The deepest penetration for
Nebraska was to the Texa
12 yard line. After the first
Longhorn score, Dyer took th
kickoff on his own five and
returned it to the 27.
With Kramer, Don Fricke
and Clay White carrying the
ball, Nebraska moved to the
12 yard line in 13 plays be
fore the attack bogged down.
The next play brought Ne-.
braska partisans to their feet.
Texas quick-kicked on first
down and Fischer picked up
the pigskin on the Nebraska
8. Fischer very wisely waited
for his interference to get set
up, then threaded his way
down the East sidelines into
the end zone.
But the officials ruled he
stepped out-of-bounds on the
Husker 38 and a clipping pen
alty was also called at the 35.
