Murtaugh holds every
Nebraska tackle record. He has
started 22 consecutive games
for the Cornhoskers and has 160
unassisted tackles and 197
assists for a total of 357. That's
a lot of head knocking.

tackle sidelined Missouri's Joe
Moore for the season, was also
named to UPI's second-team
all-American team.

goals (24) and extra points

establishes a new league
mark.

JERRY MURTAUGH
outstanding player
Nebraska coach Bob
Devaney was an overwhelming
choice by United Press
International writers as coach
of the year in the Big Eight
Devaney was named on 17 of
20 ballots cast by sports writers
and sportscasters. Chuck
Fairbanks of Oklahoma, John
ny Majors of Iowa State and
Pepper Rodgers of Kansas
each received one vote.
Devaney's biggest job this
season was rebuilding a
defense which finished among
the nation's best In 1969. He
started with linebacker Jerry
Murtaugh and defensive tackle
Dave Walline and built around
them.
And the defense managed to
do better than break even. It
finished the season with an
allowance of only 16.1 points
per game, best in the Big
Eight.
"Our defensive group showed
improvement as the season
went along," said Devaney.
"We don't picture ourselves as
a great defensive team, but we
did break the conference
record for interceptions (30)."
Devaney's nine-year record
at Nebraska is 78-18-1. In those
nine years, he has won five Big
Eight championships and tiled

His combined record at
Wyoming and Nebraska is 113-28-1.
That one tie is the only
dark mark on the Huskers'
slate this season a 21-21
deadlock with Southern
California.
