Awakening
By MICK ROOD
Aside from the Nebraska domination of the Big
Eight for the last several years, there is a new tra
dition in the making . . . The Husker Sorehead.
You have some difficulty explaining to people on
the Colorado or Kansas campuses, for instance, why
NU fans get so upset seeing their team drop about
one game per year. These people have a definition
for Nebraska followers that borders on "fair weather
fan."
For backers of the Buffs and the Jayhawks have
watched their teams beaten in virtually every way
from Devaney teams. Kansans can cringe about the
14-7 defeat in 1964 or shrink from the 40-16 and 42-6
beatings in '62 and '65.
A Loss Noiv And Then
These people don't understand Big Red backers'
seeming unwillingness to accept a loss now and then.
As one Kansas observer put it, "When it comes
to football, we've become pacifists. We like Jack
Mitchell. He hasn't beaten Devaney, but at least he's
a colorful coach . . . we can at least look forward to
that . . . but Nebraska fans I don't understand."
And so it goes.
When Oklahoma kept their apparent Norman hex
over Nebraska's team on Turkey Day, many impar
tial observers probably enjoyed the NU defeat if not
just to relish the disbelief and disgust of their neigh
bors. Smirking neighbors aside, and when the griping
here subsides, it is easy to see why the Huskers will
go into the Sugar Bowl affair at least 10-point under
dogs. The record shows several patterns that will give
Nebraska strategists, actual and sideline varieties,
something to worry about on the way to New Or
leans. Lighter, Quicker, Alert
All seven Husker losses in the past five years
have been to relatively lighter, quicker and often
more alert teams. A similar team, with lesser abili
ties like Oklahoma State, has never beaten Devaney,
but has always given him fits.
Almost invariably, the tendency in these seven
games and in other close contests has been to avoid
adjusting the basic Devaney attack (offense) as a
method to catch opponents off guard.
It is getting painfully obvious that Nebraska won't
beat outstanding teams with the qualities named
above without some sort of variation ... a variation
more radical than a new halfback flair pass pattern
or new blocking assignments.
This is why word in the spring (or was it fall)
that Nebraska might keep an "I" formation in reserve
was encouraging. It never showed up. Nor did any
thing else of a surprising nature appear, except in
fourth quarters . . . and then changes are obvious
and traditional.
I hope I don't put myself in the group of grumblers
and Devaney snipers by urging here a real "surprise"
for the Tide. Perhaps coach Devaney has it hidden
away for New Year's Day.
Crunching Can Work
Ironic I should say so, but it seemed that the
Sooner victory came because the Huskers abandoned
their crunching attack on several occasions. Early
in the ball game when running success was obvious,
several long passes wobbling in the wind looked cur
iously out of place.
But that was another game situation. Alabama's
defense, terrifying as it might seem is twice as ef
fective as Oklahoma's, their offense just as penetrat
ing. Without a new approach, it seems, it may be an
other sad day in the South for Nebraska's usually
versatile football team.

Aerial Perfectionists
Signals, Arms In Sugar Classic
By Bob Flasnick
Sports Editor
Two of the countries
most successful passing
perfectionists will be a fea
ture of the Sugar Bowl
game January 2, barring
any unforseen accidents.
The two signal callers who
will be directing opposing
teams are Bob Churchich
of Nebraska and Kenny
(Snake) S t a b 1 e r of Ala
bama. With the regular season
over for the 9-1 Huskers,
the statistics show that
Churchich has completed
96 of 174 passes for 1,136
yards and a league-leading
percentage of .552.
With one more scheduled
game remaining for unde
feated Alabama this Satur
day against Auburn, Stab
ler has taken to the air 98
times this season and has
connected on 63 of those at
tempts for a .643 percentage
and 787 yards gained pass
ing. But while Churchich hold
a sizeable passing lead over
Tide's Statistics Reveal
Possibility Of Records
Depth very likely has
been the key to Alabama's
football success in 1966 and
that fact is graphically
pointed out in the Crimson
Tide football statistics
through nine games.
Undefeated and untied,
Bama has seen 17 different
players catch passes, 15
different ones have scored,
16 have carried the ball and
seven have attempted
passes. Also, 10 different
players have intercepted
passes on defense.
The Crimson Tide has
averaged playing 53 players
a game and very sel
dom has the same starting
lineup been used for two
straight games.
Several Bama players
have a chance to set rec
ords, also, but only by com
ing up with outstanding per
formances against Auburn
in the closing game this Sat
urday in Birmingham.
Split End Ray Perkins of
Petal, Miss., for instance
has grabbed 29 passes and
needs seven to break the all
time record of 35 set by Al
Lary back in 1950. Lary had
11 games in which to set his
mark, though, and the modern-day
10-game record is
32 by Tommy Tolleson in
1965. Perkins also has 59 ca
reer receptions and needs
five to crack Tolleson's rec
ord of 63.
Quarterback Ken
ny (Snake) Stabler also has
a crack at a Southeastern
Conference record for pass
ing percentage. The SEC
mark for is 64.0 percent for
5 MM.

Stabler has the twin dis

has carried the ball 81
times for a net gain of 345

Stabler could break several

Better Overall Balance
Nebraska wrestling coach
Orval Borgialli says:
"We've got a little better
overall balance than in past
years." And he's got a
measuring stick to prove it.
One indication of im
proved depth is the number
that turned out as practice
sessions got underway. 'Bor
gialli counted 65 upperclass
man and freshman on open
ing day. Although that num
ber has dwindled to 37, it
is still ahead of the total
turnout for the 1965-66
team.
"Right now heavyweight
is our big question mark,"
said Borgialli. The coach
expects football to take its
toll on the heavyweights, in
cluding the loss of Carel
Stith to the Senior Bowl.
Borgialli added that un
less some of the footballers
turn to the mats, Ben Bar
rens (177-pound) or Gene
Libal (191) may have to
wrestle heavyweight.
