NU Stopped Cold
By Powerful Buffs
Coach: We Couldn't Move Ball
By Dave Wohlfarth
The Nebraska Cornhuskers
will try to beat Oklahoma for
the third straight yeaf Satur
day and end a disappointing
season with a victory.
. Coach Bill Jennings' Husk
ers lost their sixth game of
the year and fourth confer
ence game as they bowed to
the powerful Buffaloes of
Colorado 7-0 Saturday at Me
morial Stadium.
The game, which attracted
26,000 fans, was played on a
muddy, snowy turf following
heavy snows during the week.
Colorado, the undefeated
league leader and heavily fa
vored in the game, fought off
the fired-up Huskers and
completely dominated the
game although only able to
score one touchdown.
CU Defense Tough
The Buff defense was su
perb, limiting the Husker of
fense to no first downs the
entire game and keeping the
Scarlet in their own territory
all afternoon.
The Huskers, meanwhile,
spent most of their time try
ing to contain the Golden Buf
faloes' attack featuring the
passing of quarterback Gale
Weidner and the hard run
ning of backs Loren Schwen
inger and BUI Harris. Colo
rado actually knocked on the
NU end zone door seven
times.
Buff end Jerry Hillebrand
tried three unsuccessful field
goals; Colorado was stopped
twice when it lost the ball on
fumbles inside the Husker 20
and was on the Husker one
yard line when the gun
sounded ending the game.

touchdown. Hillebrand's ex

for Nebraska. The Buffs
gained 193 yards on the
ground and 150 through the
air compared to 31 (30 by
Thunder Thornton) yards
rushing for Nebraska and
zero through the airways.
Schweninger and Harris led
the Buff ground attack. Full
back Schweninger picked bp
93 yards on 21 carries and
Harris added 53 on 14 at
tempts. The big difference was
Weidner's passing. The rangy
Buff quarterback completed
ten of 14 passes for 150
yards. The number one re
ceiver was Hillebrand, who
caught four good for 84 yards.
Outstanding in the rugged
Buff defense were tackle
John Denvir and All-American
linebacker Joe Romig.
The Husker defense was
led by Thornton. Purcell, Mc
Daniel, Bob Brown, Gary
Toogood and the three Lex

Colorado had only fumbled
three times before the Ne
braska game, and only one of
those three was recovered by
the opposing team.
Grandelius praised Jos
Romig, Jerry Hillebrand, and
Gale Weidner for playing
tremendous ball.
Romig commented on Ne
braska's size and strength and
tabbed Thornton as being a
tough defensive and offensive
player.
Colorado's right end, Hille
brand, said that the weather
made it difficult to move the
ball, but didn't stop it from
being a hard hitting game.
"Don Purcell is a real fine
ball player and Thornton is
one of the best fullbacks I've
played against this year," he
said.
One of the shortest state
ments heard came from Walt
Klinker. He summed up the
game by saying, "It was wet
