In the post-game interview Coach Bob Devaney answered
the inevitable bowl question saying "Nothing has been done
on a bow l.
We will postpone any action as long as we can. We
would like to wait until the end of the season."
Thus far the Huskers have been viewed bv several bowl
committees, the most prominent of them being tbe Cotton

The Huskers went on to
score three more touchdowns
in the third quarter enroute to
a 42-6 routing of the Jayhawks.
Kansas managed to score
to Miami but note that their Orange Bowl opponent might no their onl uchdown on a 59

The most obvious bowl choice seems to be a return trip
to Dallas to face the Arkansas Razorbacks for the second con
secutive year. The Husker 10-7 loss last year figures in on Ar
kansas's winning streak, the longest of any major c o 1 1 e 2 e
football team, and the game could pave the way to the mvthi
cal Grantland Rice national championship.
Arkansas has sewed up the Southwest Conference
championship and the Cotton Bowl bid, but still has two
tough teams reaminrog on their schedule.

will be tough after a week's rest and no one can forget last

In comparing America to
Australia, Reddrop said
"America has education lor
alJ arid is selective in sports."
He went on, "In Australia,
there is sport for everybody
and selectivity in education.
There are no athletic actio)
arships given by any college
in Australia. It's all based on
academics."
Still. Colin Reddrop wants
to play football. And the Uni

Janik wasn't on a scholar
ship last year because of med
ical problems. However, the
Weber High School product,
bounced back in Spring prac
tice and got his scholarship
back and was tried at several
33 positions before breaking in at
end during the isconsin
game.
"I was a bit nervous at the
first of the game," Janik said,
"but it stopped when we start
ed hitting."
Asked what position he pre
fers. Janik said "I'll play any
place I get to play."
Devaney also praised Kirk
land's running, the defensive
work of Kaye Carstens and
Bill Johnson and the right side
of the offensive line.
"The only dissatisfaction is
tbe throwing." Devaney said.
"The yardage is not bad, but
tbe completion is bad."
Looking ahead to next week,
he said "Oklahoma State got
