Big 8 balance means NU losses
by Randy York
Assistant Sports Editor
Kansas State, the anemic
fragment in Big Eight football
lor the last decade, Inflicted
the knockout punch, and the
lluskers went reeling.
Or did they? Just what can
Coach Bob Devaney salvage
this season?
Reluctant to tackle the
enterprise so soon after the
Wildcat ambush, I have
nevertheless decided to
evaluate just liow successful
Nebraska's season has been
or can be.
Nebraska does, I think, play
football as methodically as a
guy fitting bolts on a machine
in a factory. Nebraska does,
it should be pointed out, play
football about as well as any
college team in the country.
A diagnosis of the Huskers'
three losses would b e
frivolous. Nebraska has been
beaten and very likely could
be beaten again before the
season is over.
More specifically, Nebraska
plavs in . the best football
conference in the United
States. Balance, reflected by
last week's results, is the
trademark of the Big Eight.
And Nebraska is but one
eighth of the league. There
must be credence to somehow
dismiss a loss for some sort of
consolation.
AND THE Huskers' con
solation depends on whether
nr not people actually believe
Nebraska functions in the
best conference in the United
States.
Kansas and Missouri are
ranked sixth and seventh in

at the Buffs and Sooners. The
best thing to do after a jolt is
reunite. Nebraska must
grapple with the odds to avoid
two more losses. Thus, there
still is the suspense element.
Why does a person usually go
to a football game? To find
out who's going to win, of
course.
service polls. Kansas was hi
jacked by Oklahoma last
week. Colorado knocked off
Oklahoma, and Oklahoma
State upset Colorado last
week. And so on.
But is it really necessary to
recapitulate what every team,
especially Nebraska, already
knows that any Big Eight
team can beat any other con
ference team on any given
Saturday:
IF SUCCESS is contingent
on how well a team plays and
not on whether it wins all the
time, then Nebraska has had
a successful season. Kansas
and Missouri struggled
through 60 minutes. The K
State setback is hardest to
swallow.
Devaney said at Monday's
Extra Point Luncheon that
Nebraska lacks the versatile
quarterback one that can
run and pass the football with
equal ef f ectiveness (a
quarterback the caliber of
Oklahoma's Bobby Warmack,
Kansas' Bobby Douglass,
Colorado's Bob Anderson or
Iowa State's John Warder).
Devaney, in my opinion, is
right. He might have added
that Nebraska has been get
ting beat, for the most part,
by its sluggish offense.
THE HUSKERS move the
ball well except across the
goal line. Nebraska has
outgained its foes by nearly
400 yards this season. But it's
a lot of wasted effort. The
best statistic is on the
scoreboard, and Nebraska
ranks last in scoring among
conference members.
The Huskers average 16.6
points per game, or in so
many words, a couple of
touchdowns every game and
three whisks of Paul Rogers'
toe.
Fortunately, Nebraska's
chances for a successful
season did not evaporate with
the Kansas State loss. Col
orado and Oklahoma have
some sniping of their own
planned.
Frosh to meet varsity
by Mark Gordon
Sport Editor
Unlike Nebraska's football
team which has its toughest
games at the season's end,
the Husker freshmen basket
bailors face their roughest foe
opening night.
The frosh meet the
Nebraska varsity Nov. 22 at
7:35 p.m. in the Coliseum,
trying to become the first
squad in recent years to
spring an upset on the varsity
counterparts. But even Head
Freshman Coach Bill Harrell
admits the task is formidable.
"WE'RE certainly going to
try to beat them," he said.
"We have good height and
average speed. This team
compares favorably to last
years squad that was 5-3."
He added mat he has nar
rowed his starting five down
to eight players with less than
10 days before the season
opens.
He said Al Nisson, a 6' S"
guard from Miller, S.D., is a
fine prospect who has almost
