There will be days like
that. ..even for the No. 1
football team in the nation.
Days when sure-handed
1-back Jeff Kinney fumbles the
football. Days when the
usually sharply executing
offensive line is penalized for
holding on two straight plays.
Days when the always
consistent offense can t
establish an early running
game. ,
But amid the blunders and
misfortunes of the Nebraska
offense, old reliable still comes
through. That old reliable
defense that has always been a
trademark of Nebraska
football.
THE DEFENSE has gone
unnoticed in Nebraska's first
two wins. But in Saturday's
34-7 victory over Texas A & M,
defense showed that it still has
a place in the eyes of the now
offense-minded Nebraska
football fans.
Twice during the first four
minutes of Saturday's game,
the Nebraska defense came to
the rescue after two fumbles
put Texas A & M in good field
position.

Nebraska's fifth play from
scrimmage which gave the
Aggies the football just 32
yards from the goal line. But
the Black Shirts stopped the
Aggies without a first down
and then Bill Kosch blocked a
field goal attempt.
NEBRASKA TOOK over on
its own 20, but tight end Jerry
List fumbled three plays later
on the Nebraska 47 after
catching a pass from Jerry
Tagge.
Again, the Black Shirts
stopped the Aggies from
gaining a first down. As a
matter of fact, Texas A & M
didn't record its initial first
down until just 20 seconds
remained in the first half.
Although the Nebraska
defense played its best game of
the season Saturday, the first two
games were also impressive.
Defending flag champs
face repeated success
Nebraska has allowed just
21 points in three games. And
only one of those
touchdowns-a 79-yard drive
by Minnesota-has been scored
against the No.l Black Shirt
unit.
TEXAS A & M recorded just
100 yards in total offense
Saturday-83 yards rushing and
17 through the air.
In three games, Nebraska
has limited its opponents to
319 yards rushing and 292
yards passing. That's an average
of just 106 yards rushing and
97 yards through the air.
The Nebraska defense has
intercepted seven passes,
including Bill Kosch's 95-yard
touchdown after a pass
interception against the Aggies.
"This game (against Texas A
& M) kinds of reminded me of
two years ago," said Husker

head the first-week ratings of
the 1971 intramural flag

Phi Delta Theta, defending
fraternity division and

top fraternity league spot again
after a 28-8 win over Alpha

Abel VI, defending Abel

The third defending

Chief challengers to the

move into the dorm division

defensive tackle Larry
Jacobson. "Every time the
offense messed up the defense
had to come through. We've
been counting on the defense
the last two years, but we
showed that we can still do the
job."
DESPITE THE impressive
defensive statistics, the Black
Shirts still weren't celebrating
after Saturday's win.
"We go the whole game
with just one thing in mind,"
said Jacobson. "We want a
shutout. Those rushing
statistics don't mean that
much, the only j thing that
counts is the score."
Nebraska, which has given
up one touchdown in each
game, came the closest to a
shutout against Texas A & M.
Hugh McElroy's 94-yard
kickoff return with just 4:56
remaining was the lone Texas
A & M score.
"Every week we're trying
for a shutout," said cornerback
Bill Kosch. "But every week
we just seem to get caught on
one play and give them a cheap
NEBRASKA head coach
Bob Devaney, although
expressing disgust with the
offense, noticed improvement
in some of the specialty units.
For the first time this season,
Johnny Rodgers found open
space on a kickoff and
returned the ball 98 yards for a
touchdown. Rodgers also
found more room than usual
on punt returns.
It must be a refreshing
feeling for Devaney to relax on
Sunday afternoon, worry
about his offense and still be
enjoying a 27-point victory.
