Nebraska last week figured among the nation's top ten teams In total and rushing of fense, scoring and rushing de fense, headed by a No. 1 na tional ranking in rushing of fense with a 286.2 average over five games. Saturday, against Colorado, Nebraska boosted that aver age a trifle to 287.0 with 293 yards on the ground against the Buffaloes, and further for tified their Conference statis tical leads in total offense, rushing and total defense. Nebraska has averaged 383.3 yards over a six-game span, some 17 yards better than the figure they posted a week ago to rank eighth nationally in total offense. Defensively, Ne braska has limited six foes to an average of 194 yards a game, and only 81.5 yards per game on the ground. While the overall picture favors the Nebraskans statis tically, some of their glitter over the weekend went to out standing offensive perform ances by Kansas and Okla homa and a gritty defensive show by Iowa State. Kansas gamed 444 yards against Ok' lahoma State to push its total offense mark to 312.7 behind the Huskers, and Oklahoma picked up 441 against Kansas State for an overall 309.4 of fensive mark. Iowa State, the pass defense leader with a 76.5 average, limited Missouri to a mere 18 yards on the ground, to move into the Conference defensive race behind Nebraska and Missouri. The Kansas constituents of the Big Eight Conference have gained a near-monopoly on umference individual stasti- cal rankings as the 1963 season heads into its seventh week of play. Big Eight leaders from the Kansas institutions are: Gale Sayers, Kansas, rushing, with 555 yards on 81 carries for a 6.9 average; Larry Corrigan, Kansas State, passing, with 48 of 99 completions for 499 yards; Steve Rcnko, Kansas, total offense, 226 rushing and 404 passing for 630 total yards; and Doug Dusenbury, Kansas State, punting, 37 kicks with a 41.9 average. In addition, Kansas State's Ralph McFillen is threatening Dick Limerick of Iowa State for the pass receiving lead and the Wildcats' Ron Barlow stands second in punt returns behind Oklahoma State's Lar ry Elliott. Sayers, playing only part time against Oklahoma State- picked up 104 yards in seven carries against the Cowboys to regain the Conference rushing leadership from Iowa State's lorn Vaughn, 555 to 536. The week before, Vaughn posted a nine-yard lead in Conference figures to stand third among the nation's rushers while layers ranked fourth nation ally. Limerick maintained his hold on two categories, pass receiving and scoring, though his lead in each was pared over the weekend. He has 20 receptions for 276 vards fol. lowed by McFillen with 22 for 257 yards. Rudy Johnson of Nebraska scored twice against oioraao to move a point be hind Limerick in scoring, an. o, Offense RUSHING Nebraska 287.0 Oklahoma 256 6 Kansas 235.7 FASSING Kansas State im?

This will open the way to two platoons and the caliber and tempo of play that the college game de serves." Nebraska Coach Bob De vaney said, "Colonel Blaik has been thinking in the right direction. So far, the rules committee hasn't represented the thinking 0 f college coaches. I hope they will soon." Blaik noted that in the period between 1949 and 1952 when colleges played separate units for offense and defense, this two-platoon football "proved to be the most effective, most exciting and safest football in the history of the college game." Blaik characterized the present substitution rule as "merely another in a series of complex, ineffectual, tedious compromises." In his Look article, Blaik based his prediction about the return of the free-substitution rule to college football on three developments: 1.

Two key defensive plays and bruising tackling brings the Husker giant this week's Star of the Week Award. Bob Brown, who usually has a ready "no comment" for questions about his personal performance each week ex' plains it this way: "If I can't impress the scribes by the way I play on the field, I don t deserve any ink and if I play well enough to attract attention, there's not much I can say.'1, Brown did say little but others were quick to praise him for the Colorado perform' ance.

Nebraska has averaged o.t yaras per rush. Nebraska has nearlv doubled the total net gain of its opponents, gaining 2300 yards to 1164. Nebraska has 114 first downs in six games. compared to 70 for the opponents. One Husker sour note is the number of fumbles. Nebraska has fumbled 19 times and lost 10 while the opponents have lost a total of only five fumbles. Injured halfback Willie Ross, who has gained a net 360 yards for an average of 6.7, may yet tie able to play some against Missouri. Ross suited up last night, and iniured tackle Monte Kiffin did Mon day at practice. Sopohomore speedster Frank Solich may be able to make the trip to Missouri. Solich, used as a punt and kickoff re turn specialist, hasn't played since suffering a shoulder in jury after taking a punt in the Minnesota (second) game. On Missouri Devaney said: "We are looking forward to a real tough game with one of the top teams in the countrv. Missouri won a rough battle from an inspired Iowa State team, again proving the Tigers can win with defense when an opponent stalls their offense." games," Coach Bob Devaney said. "But he really came up with a fine, job against Color ado." Brad Wilson of the Des Register noted Brown's work against the Buffs by writing," "With three professional foot ball scouts eyeing his every move, Nebraska's All Ameri ca candidate Bob Brown had a great day." Perhaps the most satisfying tribute, though, came from Colorado tackle Al Hollings worth, former Omaha North player, who told reporters he hclt Brown "played a "better game against us than Damon Bame," Southern Cal'g All American linebacker. Judging from the Colorado game, Bob Brown's theory of much play and little talk is quite successful in practice.
