Nebraska's first three op
ponents this year won't Lrgel
quarterback Jerry Tagge or I
hack Joe Orduna. Aod the
fourth foe, the Minnesota
Gophers, may still have
nightmares about this pair
from previous years.
It was in 1967 that a
sophomore halfback named Jc
Orduna pranced 2S yards in the
third quarter to give the
Cornhuskers a 7-0 win over the
Golden Gophers.
And then in 1969, with Orduna
sidelined due to a bad knee,
sophomore Jerry Tagge set a
total offense record as the

The Gophers will have to
play well in their secondary if
they are to stop the Huskers
passing game. Tagge, who set
a Nebraska single seasoa
passing accuracy record last
year, is aiming for the con

Tagge also leads the league
in total passing yardage with
432 yards for a 160.7 per game
average.
The Gophers played a zone
defease last year, but have
gone more to man to man
coverage during the 1979 cam
paign. "Their defensive secon
dary can't give us any more
trouble than Army's did. said
Tagge.
Tagge was referring to the
fact that Army used a four
deep defense which made it
difficult to throw.
"But if they play that type of
defense. I hope we can run over
"em, warned the NU signal
caller.
And running is where Min
nesota nightmare number two,,
Joe Gnruna. enters the picture.

Orduna is fourth in the Big
Eight rushing: charts this
season with a 91.3 yards a
game average. Orduna has
raced for 1,403 yards in his
career and could become the
greatest rusher in Nebraska
football history.
He is Just 329 yards behind
Harry Wilson's 1964-66 rushing
performance. Wilson is the
leading rusher in the Devaney
era. And Orduna is 738 yards
behind all-time Nebraska
rushing leader Bobby Reynolds.
The usually softspokea
Orduna is looking forward to
Saturday's 1:3ft pjn. date wiba
the Gophers. "They've got a lot
of cocky players and they do a
lot of bragging,' said Orduna.
"We're gonna take a game to
'em.
