This is not to say, however,
that Owens upstages Moore,
who is not only threatening
but leading the Sooners'
twice Big 8 rushing and
scoring champion.
What Moore does is do. He
wasn't even a starter before
the Tiger season began. But
when starting halfback
James Harrison pulled a
hamstring muscle in early
fall drills, Moore moved into
a starting role.
Harrison, who paced
Missouri's Gator Bowl
champions in scoring last
season, will need powerful

Remember when people
used to say the Big Eight
Conference consisted o f
Oklathoma and the Seven
Dwarfs?
Well, this year's script is
somewhat along the same
line. Now, it's the Seven
Giants and One Dwarf
(Kansas is the conference
gnome).
The Jayhawks not only
have lowered league
prestige, but also have taken
a sizable chunk from my
batting average.
Of 23 conference predic
tions, I have bulls-eyed 18.
Two of the five stumbles
were Jayhawk blunders to
Texas Tech and New Mexico,
pair of college football
zeroes.
A KU bounceback? No
way.
After that was tne week
that was (six hits in seven
picks for a .782 seasonal
mark), this is the week that
is:
Kansas State 31, Kansas 14
KU fans may leave the
stadium early, go home, take
quick shower and still have
enough time to catch the 5
clock scores. The Jayhawks

conflicts, and Mizzou's Henry
Brown has been much more
effective than the Hasikers'
slumping Paul Rogers. If
Nebraska can dissolve its
fumblitis for once, it may
find itself with the 17 points.
Oklahoma 21, Texas 17
The second-ranked
Longhorns are the favorites,
and they should be after
scoring 112 points in their
first three games. But with
Steve Owens his super,

Sooners send shock waves
through Dallas.

Iowa State has the
superior first-line talent, but
the Buffs' depth and
methodical 1-2 punch of Bob

will melt the Cyclone gust.

team can't muster any type
of ground game either
haven't sobered up or
haven't returned to the states
after their weekend cruise.
The Huskers' 256 ground
yards against the Gophers
were for real, but the rushing
game gets a much more
severe test Saturday at Col-
umbia against defensive
minded Missouri.
The last three Tiger
Husker scrape in Columbia
have been close. Mizzou
missed a 2-point conversion
try in 1963, giving NU a 13-12
win. Larry Wachholz's late
field-goal gave the Huskers a
16-14 comeback triumph in
1965.
But the two clubs' last
matchup in Columbia saw
Missouri reverse the tables
in recording a 10-7 decision
on the strength of a field goal
by Rocky Wallace.
Wallace also may hold the
key to this year's encounter.
The 1968 unanimous All-Big 8
choice has missed the Tigers'
first three games, but has
been declared healthy for
the Husker game.
Nebraska Coach Dob
Devaney and Mizzou Coach
Dan Devine combine for one
of the most interesting
coaching duals in the coun
try, much like the Texas
Arkansas scrap between the
Longhorns' Darrell Royal
and the Razorbacks' Frank
Broyles.
Devaney has emerged vic
torious four times in seven
confrontations with Devine.
They were coaching aides
together on the Michigan
State staff under "Biggie"
Munn and "Duffy"
Daugherty in the early 1950s.
Devine, however, owns the
r v r . .. i

last two victories in the
rivalry, including a 16-14
verdict In last year's Lincoln
scuffle.
Wallace also paced Mizzou
to that triumph. He was
named Big Eight Lineman of
the Week for his defensive
effort.
The Huskers' hopes Satur
day may rest more upon
Tagge's passing arm than
anything else.
The sophomore signal
caller, who compiled 202
aerial yards in 301-yard total
offense day against Min
nesota, Is the conference's
best percentage passer and
was named Big Eight Back
of the Week for his role in the
Gopher win.
Missouri, with the reac
quisltion of Wallace, will be
even stronger in rushing
defense than it has been. But
the Tigers' pass defense, fifth
in the Big Eight, is not as
reliable.
Tagge's primary targets
Larry Frost. Jim McFarland,
Frank Patrick and Guy In
gles are bracing for a lot
of footballs.
The new discovery (the
Husker ground game) will
keep Mizzou honest. Nothing
more.
