Page 4 The Daily Nebraskan Wednesday, October 20, 1965 Huskers Dominate Individual Statistics Goal Dust By Jim Swartz Nebraskan Sparts Editor In the unpredictable world of collge football,' Nebraska tops the UPI college coaches ranking for the third con secutive week. The AP sports writers and broadcasters didn't treat the Huskers so kindly, as they gave the Scarlet a third place ranking, behind Arkansas and Michigan State. The Huskers slipped to the third place rating this week, trailing the leading Razorbacks by 78 points. The rating is not much of a credit to the Huskers, who were a mere three: points behind top-ranked Texas last' week and the Husker 41-point stomping of Kansas State. Saturday's scor ing rampage put the Huskers at the top college scorers, with a 183 point total. The Big Eight statistics were released today, and it was a pleasant surprise to see four Huskers in the League's top five scorers. What is surprising is Nebraska's Charlie Winters, who is tied for the scoring lead with Colorado's Frank Rogers at 30 points. Winters is the Huskers third string sophomore fullback whose hard, brilliant running has proved to be a ground gainer and a crowd pleaser so far this season. Rogers is Colorado's kicking ace; he has kept the Golden Buffs games and himself in the scoring lead with his talented toe. His longest field goal tally of his seven season successes, was from 48-yards out. Nebraska entertains Colorado at Memorial Stadium Saturday, meeting the Buffs in the Huskers homecoming. This will be the second homecoming game in a row for the Buffs. They didn't fare too well in their homcoming game, having to play Iowa State to a 10-10 fourth quarter tie. ; .... A possibility is that Colorado might have baen looking ahead to this week's game and let the Cyclones surprised them with the tie. However, Colarado is still undefeated for the season, with a record of 3-0-2. Both of the Buff's ties have come against a common foe, Wisconsin 0-0 in their opener and Saturday's Iowa State game. Their 36-0 win over Kansas State compared with Nebraska's 41-0 victory. Nebraska blanked Wisconsin 37-0 and rolled over Iowa State and are picked as winners over the young Buffs., , In interviews with Wildcat players Saturday, the Kansas players noted that both Colorado and Nebraska have a fast backfield, but pick the Huskers to top the Buffs. Nebras ka's game, the Wildcat players agreed, would be Missouri, with either team capable of winning. The players declined to say which team they thought would have an adventure but said that the winner would be whoever got the "breaks." ine wildcat player continued, "you can't make mis takes against a team like Nebraska." In Saturday's contest the Wildcats cut down consid erably on their mistakes compared to previous game per formances; the miscues they made, however, proved cost ly. A short punt, a fumble and an intercepted pass were all converted to touchdowns by the Huskers. Although the typical Wildcat fan tried to change the subject to basketball, he was quick to point out that the Wildcats do have a good defensive unit, final score being no indicator. "The defensive unit is probably one of the nation's best," the fan exclaimed, "It actually plays two games, one in the first half and one in the second half, because the of fensive unit isn't ever able to get a drive going." Whether the fan knew it or not. his guess held true Saturday as the Husker offense dominated play throughout the game against the tired but determined Wildcat defense. An abundance of talent at their positions has helped push Colorado's Frank Rogers and Nebraska's Charlie Win ters into a tie for the scoring lead in the Big Eight Confer ence, at the halfway point of the season. Nebraska's "Choo-Choo" has stormed across the goal line five times wlrile gaining 118 yards in 29 carries this means a six-pointer every six th tinn ht is handed the ball. Jn a head-to-head meeting, McCall outdid Iowa State's Tim Van Galder by 71 yards, 142-71, to take over the total offense leadership. This is his second stand at the top for Nebraska Leads Five Team Areas DAILY NEBR. SUBSCRIPTION CLIP AND MAIL DAILY NEBRASKAN ROOM 51 NEBRASKA UNION UNIVERSITY of NEBRASKA LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Yr.-'6 Sem.-$4 Find f . Deadline Nov. 1st .Enclosed Thank You! The expected is near. Nebr aska has five of the team stat istical leads in the Big Eight Conference vand has taken dead aim on the sixth as it attempts to become the first to sweep all six in a season. Just missing the grand sweep by one last year, Nebr aska now has to catch only Kansas in pass defense to put the Cornhuskers atop all six. Since the start of the season the Jayhawkers have been best in pass defense, this wee!$ showing an 80-yard allowance, Nebraska is second at 98.8, and the margin is shrinking. In fact, a general tightening of the Nebraska defense in the last three weeks !ias seen the Cornhuskers drop their aver age almost 25 yards in rush ing, 54 in passing, and 70 over all. This move by the Nebraska Black Shirts is not onlv shown by the lead in rushing and total defense and the second spot in pass allowance, but also in the scoring column. In the last three games no points have gone on the oppon ent s side ot the ledger. Offensively, the Nebraskans now have a 424.4 average in total offense to become the first team in the Conference to rack up over 2.000 yards and score over 150 points 183 to be exact let alone 100 poinfe. Both of ihese totals, however, are still off the re cord ! pace set by the 1965 Oklahoma team, which scored 466 points and gained 4,817 yards. Also apparently out of tlie Cornhuskers' reach is the seasonal rushing record of 3,91Hbv the same Oklahoma unit.
