Huskers vs Buffalos
Nebraska offense improving
Nebraska's offense has been improving at a 20-point per
game clip since entering Big Eight play. And if statistics
continue at their present rate, the Cornhuskers should score
in the 80's against Colorado Saturday.
Nebraska scored 21 points against Missouri, 41, at Kansas
and 65 against Oklahoma State. That's the only logic used
in making such a statement.
Let's hope the logic for this week's predictions follows
a better course.
NEBRASKA 30, Colorado 17 ... The Cornhuskers will
really be flying high after this one.
KANSAS STATE 27, Missouri 20 . . . Lynn Dickey is
back in good shape, but Joe Moore is still on the sidelines.
OKLAHOMA 36, Iowa State 17 ... The Sooners will
remain as the number one challenger to the Huskers.
KANSAS 42, Oklahoma State 27. . . The Cowboys' defense
continues to give up points.
Black Shirts set goal
Nebraska's Black Shirt defense has an unwritten goal of
limiting opponents to only 10 points per game.
And they were close to that mark before Oklahoma State
entered Memorial Stadium last week. The Black Shirts had
allowed only 70 points in their first six games for an 11.7
average.
But they gave up their quota for the next two games
when the Cowboys hit the board for 31 points. The Black
Shirts were happy, however, to sacrifice some points to give
their other teammates a chance to play.
'These kids take a lot of pride in having few points scored
on them," offered defensive line coach Monte Kiffen. "But
they are also very unselfish kids, and they are willing to
sacrifice a few points to give others an opportunity to play."
So the Black Shirts' goal of 10 points per game has suffered
a severe blow. Nebraska opponents have scored 101 total points
for a 14.4 per game average.
Ralphie icill be back
Cornhusker fans surely remember Ralphie, Colorado's 700
pound Buffalo mascot.
Ralphie will get her first look at coach Bob Devaney and
his Huskers in tw years when Nebraska invades Boulder Satur
day. Ralphie was told she was not welcome in Lincoln last
year because Memorial Stadium rules prohibit animals from
being inside.
So Ralphie stayed home last year, but she did make the
trip to Missouri last week and was an honored guest of Tiger
coach Dan Devine and his staff.
Cornhusker capsule comments
Nebraska has a 16-11-1 lead in the Colorado series and
has won seven of the last eight games. The only Buff win
The Cornhuskers will be trying to present Devaney with
his 110th career victory and his 75th Nebraska win. The win
over Oklahoma State assured Nebraska of its ninth straight
winning season a record unmatched by any previous NU
coach.

Let chips fall where they may
by JIM JOHNSTON
Associate Sports Editor
What does football mean to
the Colorado Buffaloes? That
question wiB be answered when
the Cornhuskers invade Fofcsom
Field m Boulder at 1:50 p.m.
Lincoln time Saturday.
After defeating Perm State
five weeks ago, football meant
quite a bit to the Buffs. And the
defensive linemen shaved their
heads to prove it.
But three conference losses
later, the attitude of the
Colorado team is in serious
question.
"The psychology that has
been against us in our three
losing games will be turned
around this week," said Buff
assistant athletic director Fred
Casotti. "This time we are the
team that's coming off of two
straight defeats. I can
guarantee our kids will play a
helluva game even though
Nebraska might have the best
offensive unit ever in the Big
Eight"
The Buffs will have at least
two things going for them
Saturday great talent on the
field and a good luck charm in
the press box.
The field talent centers
around a big, strong offensive
line with equally talented backs
and receivers. The good luck
charm is ABC football an
nouncers Bud Wilkinson and
Chris Schenkel who will be br
inging the game to two-thirds
of the nation.
The ABC duo was also in the
booth when the Buffs scored
impressive victories in the 1970
Liberty Bowl and against Perm
State this season.
Saturday's date in Boulder is
a matchup of giant offensive
and defensive lines and some
brilliant, speedy individuals
like Nebraska's Johnny
Rodgers and Colorado's amaz
ing receiver and kick returner
Cliff Branch.
Branch, who covers 100 yards
in 9.3, has broken three kicks
for touchdowns and grabbed 17
passes for 234 yards.
Nebraska leads the Big Eight
in rushing with a 236.4 per
game average followed by
Colorado with 233.2.
The Buffs are trying to get
some consistency out of their
tandem quarterback offense of
Jim Bratteo and rani Arendt.
The Buffs have moved the
football this year, but a lack of
consistency and making too
many mistakes have spelled
defeat.
Colorado is putting a lot on
the line against Nebraska, but
its the Cornhuskers who are
facing a must game. The Buffs
are already out of the Big
Eight picture.
